beautiful property with stunning views. Limited underwhelming food options, Overpriced food and drink, 15% gratuity added to everything plus unknown taxes added to bill at the end. The \"free\" continental breakfast is a small plate of unappetizing fruit plus a couple slices of toasted bread with butter. No spa but I may have been able to book a massage, no work out/gym facilities -- so it was not as advertised. Also -- the check in clerk could have been more helpful with directions and information about the property/getting around the property, getting to the pool at the top of the property (I learned that they will call you a driver if you ask -- its a very steep not short hike and that you can have food /drink delivered up there on my own) they put two large tv screens downstairs for World Cup games which was nice but: the tv's were behind the pool table and foose ball, table and kids were running around playing during the games making it a bit less than ideal No television in the rooms. If you have ANY mobility issues do not go here. The stairs and steep inclines are extremely difficult to navigate.

One person in our party had fish at the restaurant and got food poisoning. They advertised AC, but the villa suite didn’t have ac! We booked 3 massages, they canceled 1 last minute and the other they didn’t cancel but when we showed up, she said she couldn’t stay and had to go home. They were not accommodating to anything we requested. One person in our party is older, and cannot do a lot of steps. The villa is up MANY steps and the driver leaves early, so she could not come back up to the villa, unless we wanted to wait 30 minutes for a tuk tuk. It is an expensive resort, but didn’t have the customer service or amenities of a nice resort.

Our stay at Casa Palopa was amazing. Not only was the property beautiful, but the service stood out above all else. Communication was very clear and exceeded all our expectations. The transfers were very well coordinated and our driver Martin was excellent! He picked us up from Antigua and then taking us to the airport early in the morning to catch an early flight. He even turned the car around when I left a valuable in Antigua, very kind and understanding. I highly recommend this hotel and it is well worth the price. Above all else the food and the staff were phenomenal, I highly recommend and I hope to visit again soon!

The staff was amazing - especially the waiters in both restaurants. The food was delicious, but dinners were a bit overpriced in my opinion. As there is not much to do around the hotel, it would be nice if they had a complimentary shuttle. But a beautiful, relaxing property that is well maintained.

This was our second stay at Casa Palopo. Although the rooms are wonderful and the property is gorgeous, it is a little tough to get around with so many stairs and no railings in sight. We like to hike, and unfortunately, this property is not conducive to that; the road is too busy to take your life in your hands, and the property itself has nothing. No one showed us the pools or gave us an orientation; we had stayed before, but things have been added such as the restaurant at the lake. We could see paddleboards at the pier, but had no idea if guests could use them or any other lake goodies. No tours are offered, and the \"birding\" there consists of offering you a pair of binoculars. The food was great and the people who work there all wonderful.

Casa Palopó was easily one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at! The staff were welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. They booked us tuktuks to travel around, and allowed us to preorder breakfast and take it early on the day we left. Each time we came back to our room, they had been in to tidy up and leave us a little gift! The hotel and grounds are gorgeous, and the views of Lake Atitlan are breathtaking. The hotel is a short walk from Santa Catarina Palopó, a beautiful Guatemalan town which felt authentic and friendly. We did find that it was easier to eat dinner at the hotel in the evenings, as it got dark very early and we did not want to walk back along the road from the town. It is very much a hideaway, perfect if you are looking for rest and escape. There are activities available at the hotel too, and a wonderful pool and jacuzzi at the villa in the grounds. The decor is truly beautiful, and everything is finished to an excellent standard. Thank you so much for a perfect stay.

We have stayed at the hotel -prepandemia- in several ocassions. This time we got hold of the only room option available in the newer building above the main hotel, problem was too many stairs, which make it dependable on shuttle runs to reach dining options within the hotel.... walking up the hill to our room is risky for anyone not in good shape/health....also there are no hand rails, hence posing addionatl risk of falling. I did like the excellent service from all the staff, always ready to help and assist ieven on nonhotel matters. The newer part, once solved the issue mentioned above should provide a good choice for staying in the future, is quite, nice pool and jaccuzzi and good spacious rooms.

Loved my stay here, comfortable and clean. I did get sick when I ate at the restaurant both times. Also the guy at the front desk that spoke English as well was rude. Whenever he would be assisting me, he would be helping others at the same time. Whenever I came to the front desk and he was helping someone else he didn’t even speak to me. When I checked out, he didn’t even say thank you or anything. At the price you pay for this hotel you expect the customer service to be on point. Besides him, it was a good stay.

Five Stars – A Truly Unforgettable Experience at Casa Palopó

We absolutely love Casa Palopó and have been visiting this stunning property for several years. Each stay only deepens our appreciation for this truly unique and outstanding hotel.

The breathtaking views of Lake Atitlán, framed by beautifully landscaped gardens and majestic volcanoes, are simply unforgettable. The level of gastronomy is exceptional—fine dining at its best. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The new restaurant menu is fantastic, a true culinary delight.

The service is impeccable, with every member of the staff going above and beyond. Special thanks to Fausto, Mary, and Pablo—the new manager—who all made our experience incredibly warm and personal. The new chef has brought a fresh and exciting touch to the kitchen, and it shows in every bite.

The villa area is a true gem. With its gorgeous decor, it offers a luxurious and tranquil retreat. Don’t miss the infinity pool and jacuzzi—both are beautifully designed and offer an amazing way to unwind while enjoying panoramic lake and volcano views.

Casa Palopó continues to set the standard for world-class hospitality in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property in an amazing location, with amazing views from the room and common areas. Don’t forget to check the upstairs pool area, which has even better views. The hotel restaurant is excellent. I was a bit disappointed with the steakhouse Kinik, down by the shore, so I recommend you stick with the main restaurant. I also took the private motor boat to the pueblos; although pricy, it was worth the convenience. The concierge gave me good and accurate recommendations

For our 1st anniversary we wanted to visit the beautiful Lake Atitlan in Guatemala & this hotel made this adventure feel over the top luxurious. While the hotel & views are hard to beat, the hotel team that worked every day to give us moments of delight throughout our stay, were the true unique component of this stay. From an easel/paint/canvas waiting for us in our room to paint the beautiful views, to the turn down service with a unique gift each time, but more than that was the friendly and helpful nature of all of the staff was incredible. They arranged a private boat driver for us to go to San Juan & San Marcos. It was definitely worth the elevated price to not be on a tight schedule & get to explore as much as we wanted & leave as soon as we wanted to make the most of our day. Skip going to San Marcos but DEFINITELY visit San Juan!! We also walked from Hotel Casa Palopo to the town of Santa Caterina which allowed us to explore the everyday lifestyle of the community. We also recommend going up to the infinity pool at Hotel Casa Palopo for the days you just want to relax & for sunsets! We did the traditional route of ground van transportation lined up by Hotel Casa Palopo, but when we learned about the hotel having two helipads, we found GuataFlights and HIGHLY recommend them for a much faster transportation to Antigua (10 min) or the GUA airport (25 min). Make sure to eat and lakeside restaurant, Kinnik. The BEST! Can't tell - I recommend you stay here. We will be back.

it is high up but close to a small town and transport is easy available - it has a magnificent absolutely stunning view - it is so special - waking up with the view of a huge vulcano i. the window, a big veranda with great views , a swimmingpool and hottie with great views, beautiful rooms and bathrooms . huge common areas -a restaurant and very friendly staff - it sextremely beautiful- we had one of the suites - the stunning view came with a small downside of 150 steps but we managed to never have to go up by always using the tiktuk when coming back from syrups and always eat in the room - teh entire menü is available in room - food in small town was much cheaper - prices at hotel are very high but they try to have fancy food - town restaurants were a very amazing alternative though - and

Absolutely love Casa Palopo and so glad we decided to stay here during our trip to Lake Atitlan!! The views are amazing and the service and kindness the staff showed us was outstanding. They staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We had NO issues with communication or hot water in our rooms. So I'm really surprised by the other reviews left. The restaurant in the hotel was lovely and they were happy to accommodate to my food allergies with no problems!!! We found the location we'll worth the views of the lake and Volcanos. And easy walk to Satana Catarina, a beautiful local village. Easy Tuk tuk transport to get to Panajachel for more restaurants, shopping and transport by boat to other towns across the lake. I highly recommend this boutique hotel!!

Casa Palopo is heaven on earth. Every part of the hotel is thoughtfully decorated and stunning- with the kind of originality one can only find in an independent boutique hotel. Refreshing pools surrounded by curated cactus gardens, backed by the mountainous jungle and overlooking the teal Lake Atitlan. Kayaks and paddle boards are provided to make the most of the lake. The restaurant serves incredible cocktails and cuisine. The team is friendly, fun and very attentive. Little touches make the stay pure magic- a selection of wellness drinks to start your day and a unique gift in the room each nigh.

Nice hotel, food was not great. Expected more for 700 per night room. Not much to do. Weather is hit or miss. Pool is underwhelming. Don’t order fish and if you can eat dinner at the restaurant down the hill instead.

The lake view is magnificent but the acces is very difficult. The staff is friendy.
I did not like that the security asked my name several times and it seems like i was not welcome in the hotel. However after i checking the staff
It is very dificult to get in to my room. The rooms are not accesible for people with health concern. I love the view but i would never visit the hotel again it is crazy the amount of stairs. I was feeling. Really bad because i was not able to brith do to efort because iI am asthmatic

Avoid Casa Palopo: Guatemala is/was going through a political unrest situation with protesters blocking the roads. The US embassy advised anyone to stay clear or the road blocks/areas which also pertained to the roads to Late Atitlan.
We found out the day we got to Antigua about the unrest and that the roads to Lake Atitlan are closed. Having booked for the day after we got to Antigua, we contacted the hotel and after several hours they said that we won’t get there unless we take a helicopter which was out of the question (financially and safety wise). We talked to several people in Antigua and most of them were going to visit Lake Atitlan as well. ALL of them got refunded due to the circumstances, however Casa Palopo did not. They charged us the hotel room for 2 nights with no explanation. (We did book through Expedia and they contacted the hotel every day for 8 days and the hotel refused to give us the refund, although Expedia mentioned several times that considering the circumstances it should be not issue to cancel the reservation and get the refund). Obviously money is way more important for them than the safety of their guest. I highly suggest to stay clear of this hotel as unknown circumstances may arise and the hotel WILL NOT work with you not matter what. We spent several hours on the phone with Expedia and emailing Casa Palopo and at the end they decided not to refund our stay!!

We booked the Casa Palopó as part of a friend's 50th birthday celebration about 4-6 months prior to the arrival date. Unfortunately for us, the Guatemalan elections caused civil unrest and because of this, we ended up having to cancel last minute (about a week's notice). The hotel was incredibly difficult to get a hold of, and when we finally were able to get someone via a web-based chat, they assured us that we'd be able to get a refund for our cancellation. Mind you, this was all before our stay was scheduled. However, after the dates of our stay passed, they came back to us and refused to give us the refund of over $1,000. We will be pursuing a chargeback with our credit card company, and we will most certainly never be booking with this hotel (or any of their associate properties) ever again.

Exceptional attention to customer service

We were not able to make it to this hotel due to protests in Guatemela with road closures preventing travel. We can however attest to the fact that the hotel staff checked on us during our travel and kept in touch to make sure we did not get stuck in a road blockade. This level of attention to customer safely shows the level of service provided at this hotel. I would like to give a shout out to Lopez who was very kind and worked with a sister property on Antigua to resolve our dilemma

My wife and I were highly looking forward to staying at Casa Polopo. We have stayed at Relais and Chateaux properties around the world and have grown to expect a certain level of luxury and service. Actually our main reason to visit Guatemala was the lake and property and views it provides. Keep in mind the price for 3 nights with taxes was $1600 USD

The property did inform us several days after booking (and also after booking the flight) that there is some construction going on. There is not a lot of other luxury hotels in the area, so after discussing with the hotel we decided to stay there anyway. I was told that it was not in the lobby or by the rooms.

Upon arrival, the actual road to the property was closed, my wife and I had to walk 10 minutes to the gate and the taxi waited 45 minutes for the road
Blockage to clear in order to bring our bags. The front gate had about 20 workers and I thought we were at the wrong hotel.

There were workers within 10 feet of our room using hammers and chisels all day long. There is no air conditioning at the property. It was impossible for us to stay in the room and relax due to the noise, which is a main reason to visit the property. I left feeling like I was scammed out of a luxury hotel experience. I asked them for a discount for the inconvenience. They did offer a complimentary dinner for the inconvenience which is almost laughable.

The lake offers incredible views but spend your time at another property.

pienso que pueden mejorar un poco mas en la atención al cliente en el restaurante, un poco mas actitud en la servida y en el retiro de platos que ya no se están utilizando así como en los meseros de proveerles un poco mas enfoque de servicio, en general estuvo todo bien, pero siempre hay espacio para mejora en estos tiempos de mucha competitividad.
