Jenna's River bed and breakfast is located on a slope 1.5 km from Panajachel, this location presents our guests with the most spectacular views of the lake and it's volcanoes. Quiet seclusion with the convenience of being a 5 minute ride to Panajachel. The accommodation at Jenna's is made up of 8 luxurious Yurts with solid walls nestled into the hillside. Each Yurt has en-suite bathrooms with bath tubs and showers featuring large picture windows facing the lake.

Jenna's also has a world class restaurant, Mayan sauna, hot tub and spa where you can enjoy massages and other spa services. Relax at the pool. Our Restaurant and Bar is the perfect place to have a cocktail and enjoy the sunset before dinner on the premises or heading into town.

This is a MUST STAY if you want a homey, nature-filled location overlooking Lake Atítlan!! ?

We stayed at Jenna’s River Bed & Breakfast in March 2022, and were pleasantly surprised. After raving reviews and gorgeous photos, we thought we knew what to expect…. but the experience was much better than we could have ever hoped for. This b&b has many gorgeous amenities including shared outdoor space, lake access, a sauna, a pool, a restaurant/ bar, and much more. It also has parking, wifi, and clean, filtered water (which is extremely important) My boyfriend and I stayed in the Quetzal Yurt with plenty of space for us and our things. It was homey, and comfortable. The bathroom had a toilet, sink, bathtub with a view, and spacious walk-in shower. Our friends stayed in the Caiman Yurt and it was huge, the 5 of us spent lots of time just hanging out in their room because of how large it was. I love how surrounded by nature we were, as the yurts are surrounded by trees, flowers, rocks, mountains, cacti, and the lake. This location was extremely calm and casual, taking on the “island time” aesthetic. Unfortunately, the view was cloudier than usual due to a recent volcanic eruption, however it was still a very stunning sight. We had large, private balcony overlooking Lake Atítlan, the Volcano, and mountains. We also had a couch, table with chairs, grill, sink, mini refrigerator, coffee pot, and toaster oven outside on the balcony for our convenience. The food at their restaurant was incredibly tasty! I am vegetarian and feared I wouldn’t have many options, however I had numerous vegan and vegetarian-friendly food options to choose from ? I chose the Vegetarian Lasagna, which was made with crepe instead of pasta and was honestly the best lasagna I have ever tasted. We sat outside in the lounge/ dining area and played jenga while eating. We also socialized with other people staying at the b&b! Jenna is such a kind hearted individual, she is so excited to get to know her guests. She visited us and spoke with us personally, answering any questions we had as well as asking us about ourselves. She speaks 5 languages and did what she could to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. Jenna was always there and looking forward to speaking with her guests. The entire team made our experience incredibly pleasurable, they spoke with us and answered questions. They also gave us great recommendations for things to do in the nearby town and offered to call us a car or tuk tuk ? Jenna’s River Bed and Breakfast was a STAPLE and HIGHLIGHT of our vacation and it would be our honor to stay with Jenna again. We felt like we had the resort experience! Stay here, you won’t regret it!

Hotel Casa Santo Domingo

In 1979 UNESCO declared the colonial city of La Antigua Guatemala as a World Cultural Heritage Site turning it to a recognized treasure of exceptional value before the eyes of the world. In the XVII Century, the Convent of Santo Domingo was one of the largest in America and in 1773, the earthquake of Santa Marta almost totally destroyed it. In 1989, the project known as Casa Santo Domingo was developed with the primary objective of rescuing the vestiges of the Convent and Temple buried under tons of rubble. Hotel Museum Spa Casa Santo Domingo progressively emerged where each corner is a page lost in time that joins others to form a beautiful chapter of the great book of our history.

The Spa is marvelous

Reviewed By travellerGTCH

If you are planning to relax, Casa Santo Domingo is the place to be. The service provided throughout our whole experience was immaculate. The staff goes the extra mile for you to relax and enjoy the experience. For instance, we were running late for an appointment but wanted to grab a quick bite at the restaurant. We expressed it to the waiter and with a big smile, he arranged our speedy lunch. We ended up being ahead of time. As for the SPA, it has two jacuzzis at different temperatures, which was very appreciated as I was looking for warmer water. You will also find a treatment/massage menu with dozens of options. As for the property itself, the architecture brings you back into history, it's beautiful. I really enjoyed walking through the museum. If you like chocolate, there is a chocolate store too! I would definitely recommend, just make sure you plan a whole day to visit the hotel itself as there is so much to do!

Best roof bar in town

This is my second time in Flores. Camiba cultural tours recommended this roof bar. I would come here again and again and again. The view is spectacular for sunsets. Tamarindo margaritas are the best. The food ever disappoints. I highly recommend this bar.

Great place to stay

Reviewed By TravelerT1111

We travel to Guatemala City a few times a year, this was our first stay at the Hyatt. Rudy greeted us and walked us up the Lobby (note - you have to take the elevator UP to the "L" floor in order to check in, it's not the main level of the building). Rudy was so friendly and took great care taking our heavy suitcases right to the room for us. All the staff were friendly, the roof pool is heated and has great seating options. We did not take the breakfast as we had an early flight out (it says included here on Trip Advisor, but it was in fact, was not included). The rooms were very nice, with lots of personal touches. I liked the free unlimited bottled water, slippers and robes, and toiletries. There was even a scale in the room but I was not brave enough to step on it! Very modern and stylish rooms. The area is fantastic. Attached to a mall with a good dive British pub across the street, PF Changs in the building, Starbucks just a block away, and many good restaurants nearby. We walked around into the night and always felt safe. Side note - we tried to get an Uber to the airport and that took us 40 minutes. Most of the Ubers were too small to accommodate our luggage (just 2 suitcases), so plan accordingly. If I had known, we would have saved time and caught 2 Ubers, or spoken with the front desk in advance about our options. The drive itself to the airport was just over 10 minutes.

Amazing!!!!! Highly recommend

Reviewed By Carlyb123096

My boyfriend and I visited Antigua for the first time and we stayed at Good Hotel. We found it online during our research and didn’t know much about it. We arrived and everyone was soooo kind, the place is absolutely adorable and so clean. The hotel exceeded our expectations and we ended up staying an extra night instead of where we were supposed to stay next. The rooms are so clean and spacious compared to other spots we’ve seen in the city. Amazing price value and great staff. Can’t get over how much we loved it and we hope to be able to return again!!! We love the good hotel and antigua!!!! Would love to visit the other locations in different cities.

Beautiful boutique hotel in Antigua

Reviewed By lovetotravel00

We were celebrating my daughter’s wedding in April, and many guests stayed at this hotel as it was very conveniently located. The rooftop terrace was beautiful and very serene; we sat there for breakfast almost every day and also at night after a long day. I would suggest making it more of an attraction at the hotel by setting out flowers, candles, etc to make it feel more of a spot to get some respite after a long day. The pool is not really a great swimming pool, but more of a visual enhancement for the beautiful gardens on the main level. We scheduled a lovely brunch for our guests on Saturday; the food was very nice and though we had to provide our own floral centerpieces, they set up the tables perfectly. I would agree that the rooms are dark; however, this is, in part, the architecture that was popular at the time this was built. Perhaps as Antigua becomes a more sought-after destination for tourism this hotel will be able to update and renovate. But the courtyard and foliage is unparalleled, and service was wonderful. Thanks to Diego and his staff!

San Rafael Hotel

The San Rafael, which opens following a three-year restoration, incorporates the remains of an early structure significantly altered in the nineteenth century. The recent restoration preserves the form of a grand, traditional colonial home with its brick, stone and stucco construction; two courtyards; antique tile roofs; and three water features (including a dramatic wall fountain). Besides the furnished patio where one can enjoy a leisurely breakfast while gazing over the garden, guests will appreciate the elegant and lofty sitting and dining room, the perfect space in which to sip a glass of wine, sit before a roaring fire, or catch up on emails and correspondence. Entering through the gates of the San Rafael, visitors enjoy a sweeping view of the first courtyard with its two fountains and richly varied plantings: Italian cypresses, ficus trees, and the colorful blossoms of native plants. The hotel office and reception are conveniently located off the entry vestibule, where newly arriving guests will be greeted with a welcome beverage, and hotel residents may seek advice on touring the city, securing reservations at Antigua's finest restaurants, or making arrangements for a private excursion. Breakfast is a special occasion here, guests enjoying it while seated around the courtyard or in the dining room. For those fond of coffee or tea upon awakening, and before sitting down to breakfast, complimentary self-serve beverages are available in the courtyard each morning. The breakfast menu includes traditional offerings as well as a rotating array of special dishes. Breakfast is served between the hours of 7:00am and 10:30am weekdays, 11:00am weekends.

Good Stay

Reviewed By Vagabondgirl

We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel. The property is beautiful and extremely well kept. The staff were attentive and helpful, they even provided us with coffee and pastries at 5am before we left for our AM flight. We were in room 7, and I agree with past reviews- it’s beautiful and well appointed. My only complaints are the room’s ventilation- it got a bit warm and stuffy. A small fan is in the room but it wasn’t enough to circulate throughout the suite. The shape of the room basically prevents good airflow. On cool days and nights this is a non issue, but we certainly didn’t want to use the lovely fireplace while we were there! We also didn’t have the private, quite stay others have mentioned. Perhaps we were just victims of rude fellow guests- a lady sitting by the water feature talking loudly on her phone just outside our open window two nights in a row (the second night I gave her a dirty look from the window and she left :) guests speaking loudly in the main courtyard, doors slamming, likely all amplified by the need to keep the windows open. These weren’t major annoyances but we just didn’t get the tranquil stay I anticipated after reading past reviews. Maybe we were just there during a full house weekend- our third, last night was actually much quieter. In closing, please don’t hesitate to stay here but be aware it can be a bit noisy and potentially warm. Overall it’s a lovely property, I doubt you can do much better in Antigua!

Reviewed By FamilyAdventurer5

This was a superbly beautiful hotel and an ideal location to explore Lake Atitlan. We absolutely loved waking up every morning and sitting on our patio taking in the view, venturing out to explore other villages via the public boats, and hiking. The food was fine - not incredible, but good enough, but we ate several meals at the restaurant anyway, enjoying the many patios with the unending views and the warm breeze. For us, this was great since we weren't there for the food anyway. The service was friendly and warm and responsive. Highly recommend!
