Beautiful hotel! Staff was okay. But we need to be better with our Spanish. But the amenities were fine. Room was great, just no fan or a/c. But we would go back again.

This is the place you have been looking for. Absolutely stunning property. The staff is great, the food is wonderful, and the view is picturesque.

The hotel arranged for a private boat tour for our family that was great.

The property is one town over from Pana, but is a quick and easy Tuktuk that adds to the atmosphere.

We were traveling with 5 and 6 year olds and that didn’t present any problem.

Highly recommend.

This hotel is simply beautiful. The staff makes you feel like royalty. The view is beautiful but not accessible or visible from the inside. I wish they build an observation deck in the future. Great conservation of the building. Neat clean all around. Great gourmet food. The best was breakfast. I missed a hair dryer, but a small detail for such a wonderful experience.

Aunque nos advirtieron la piscina no estaba en funcionamiento. En el lugar donde está ubicado no hay restaurantes ni mucho que hacer. Y todas las comidas en el hotel que no están incluidas en la tarifa son muy costosas con respecto a hoteles similares.

We absolutely loved this hotel right in the middle of Santa Catarina Palopó. Away from the busyness of Panajachel but a close drive into town if you need to access things or take the lanchas to the other villages. We took tuk tuks to get around and there was also parking at the hotel. The town itself was super charming and it was also easy to get a private lancha from near the hotel. All the staff was super kind and attentive and the entire hotel was well maintained and spotless. Beautiful views, we absolutely would come back here! Check out the town, there’s an incredible candle shop, coffee shop and beautiful textiles to purchase and support the local artisans right outside the hotel.

The property is well maintained and clean. The restaurant in the hotel is okay but they are very pushy on tips and did not appreciate that. The customer service in the restaurant was also okay as they were not very attentive. The TV in the room did not work and I had to ask for almost everything. The room has no hair dryer, not enough lights, excessive ants/bugs, and no mini fridge. Also, the location is not the best as there is not many walkable restaurants and activities. The views from hotel are stunning but not really satisfied.

The lovely Hotel Villa Santa Catarina is Guatemalan-owned. Beautiful two pools, great view of the lake, and a short tuk-tuk ride to Panajachel. The restaurant on site is fantastic for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Room was spacious - no A/C, but not a problem with the cool lake breeze at night.

The hotel is okay, most of the natural beauty around it makes it look a lot better. There is no AC so be prepared to be warm during the day. Our room was over an hour and a half late and we were not compensated whatsoever even though we were waiting for them. It's time for isn't overly attentive and the wait time for the food is definitely not worth it.

The pools and gardens are lovely as you come into the courtyard off a street lined with lights and colorful hanging basket streamers leading down to the water. I loved the sounds of the school next door. The room was great, staff was friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant was the best on this whole trip. It was easy to get a taxi to Panajachel for the public water shuttles around to the other villages.

This was a beautiful hotel very close to the lake. There was a couple things that were walkable nearby but for the most part, it would require a 15 minute ride to do anything else that would be my only complaint outside of my bed being very hard. The staff was great. The food in the hotel was a little inconsistent. I ordered the same breakfast on two different days. One day it was amazing the second time I ordered it I was really unhappy with it. Staff and presentation at the restaurant made up for it. They really cared and we’re very sweet.

This place is beautiful and well maintained. Breakfast was included and was good. Not much to do around the property. I recommend searching for tours (not the one the hotel offered/tourist trap, way too overpriced)

The property had a beautiful view that allowed for a view of the volcano and water. It was near a few places to get items from the corner store. The heated pool was great and allows you to be outside even if it’s cooler. The three things that J struggled with is the influx ant infestation that takes over the rooms. I have to get them out of my items. The other thing is that the location doesn’t allow for much transportation options late so be aware. And also, the breakfast options is only 2 items which don’t leave room for differences because it’s the same every day. Other than that, the staff are nice.

Lovely hotel, great place to stay when visiting the lake. Much better than Panajachel, though not much to do at night. Food options only in the hotel. Great pool and gardens. An evangelical church played super loud music til midnight one of the nights which was rough when you just need some rest. Hotel can arrange boat trips to nearby towns, highly recommend!

Very charming hotel with a hot springs pool

This was a lovely hotel, very charming with attention to details. The room was really cute with a nice balcony overlooking the pool and lake. The views of the volcanos are great, but there is no direct access to the lake and unless you need to specifically come to Santa Caterina, it's pretty far from Pana and all other attractions. The best feature for me was the hot springs pool behind the main pool area. The food was wonderful as well, the best ceviche I've had. Service in general was good, but the girl at the reception didn't look very happy. One last amazing amenity: check out is at 1PM!!! You get plenty of extra time to enjoy the hotel.

A little piece of paradise in Palopo.

The staff are amazing! The waiters, gardeners and cleaners couldn’t do any more to make this an excellent stay.
The hotel is in a less busy village but a tuk tuk ride of ten mins to the busier Panajachel.
This hotel is set in beautiful gardens by Atitlán lake. The pools are a delight.
The food was well cooked and professionally served with attention to detail.
Tastefully decorated with Guatemalan paintings and objects which reflect the Mayan culture. We will return and thoroughly recommend.
