I work in the Hospitality industry and I can say without a doubt that I am VERY picky about accomodations, especcialy when on vacation. I researched this hotel very well and I can say that I had heard nothing but great things going into this. I was not let down. From check in to check out, this hotel proved to... more

This hotel has the potential to be a great hotel, but fell short in some important areas. First, the good. The grounds at Hotel Atilan are indescribably beautiful. The verdant gardens are carefully manicured and teeming with roses, hydrangeas and other vibrant flowers. The exotic caged birds just add to the charm, and the view of Lake Atitlan and its... more

What a beautiful hotel, in a stunning location, and incredible gardens. We arrived by rental car without a booking. We were offered a rate of $95 per night and were shown several rooms to choose from. All rooms I believe have full lake views, and what stunning views. Staff are soooo friendly. All meals are really good and the sea... more

My husband and I live in the inner city, devoid of grass and trees, so Hotel Atitlan really gave us a chance to feel human again. We fell in love with this oasis the moment we arrived from the hair-raising and stomach-churning drive from Guatemala City. What can I say? The gardens were absolutely beautiful, and after two days, I... more

After the hustle bustle of Guatemala City and Antigua, this was a welcome respite...and the view is simply to die for! Our family stayed here for 2 nights and we wish we could have extended it a day or two. The rooms were clean and spacious with updated bathrooms, nice toiletries and small patios for sitting outside and enjoying the... more

Little to add from the other reviews here - location is incredible and views are breath-taking. Hotel is ok - clean but old fashioned, breakfast is ok as it's a buffet and you can tailor your meal, however the rest of the food is pretty appalling. Don't eat at the restaurant for dinner - but chicken sandwiches and basic lunch... more

Best location and ambiance of any hotel I've ever seen. Located directly on Lake Atitlan, the grounds are immaculately kept with gardens and footpaths. From the restaurant or the pool and infinity hot tub, the views of volcanoes across the lake are incredible. A little more pricey than some of the hotels in Panajachel but well worth the little extra... more

All the positive comments by others about the gardens and grounds of the property are absolutely true. Very beautiful and the lobby, hallways and common areas are a work of art with many antiques, textiles, paintings, etc. We loved our suite #222 with corner windows, king bed, fireplace (which we used as it was a bit cool) and nice balcony... more

The review below from Frenchtouchfrance is largely accurate. This is a rather difficult hotel to assess because it has two absolutely stunning virtues - the garden and the wider setting, both extravagantly beautiful, making this a destination hotel. The amazing garden, largely the creation of the hotel’s owner, an American named Sue, is evidently modeled on the classic English cottage... more

We stayed in this hotel for 6 nights ,we had two rooms adjacent our 3 children were in the other room, but the door to communicate was closed and it was impossible during the entire stay to obtain a key to open it . We asked a baby cote for our smaller baby 1 year old. They charged us 20... more
