I had a wonderful experience at Finca El Tambor. It’s located in the middle of nature and is very clean. Suzy is helpful and responsive. The restaurant, Ivanno, serves delicious food, and the owner is a great host. I do wish I had known beforehand about the long walk and the hill leading to the property. Along the way, I also wish there had been more lighting. That said, I really appreciated the flashlight provided in the house—it was very helpful when I arrived late from Antigua or left early for my trip to Lake Atitlán. I highly recommend it.

Finca El Tambor is a truly special place—more of a retreat-style experience away from everything, than a traditional hotel. The absolute highlight was the breathtaking view of the surrounding hills and volcanoes.. The accommodations were cozy, with a very comfortable bed, small kitchen, and even a yoga mat, and welcome bottle of wine which was a nice touch. Just a heads-up: this is more of a glamping experience than a hotel stay, and it’s good to know that going in. It’s located about 20 minutes outside downtown Antigua, and is also very close to Hobbitenango. The drive up is a winding dirt road along the edge of a mountain. It didn’t bother our Uber driver, but it might feel a bit nerve-wracking for those not used to that type of terrain as it is narrow and a bit rugged. The biggest challenge for our group was getting to our accommodations. The paths are STEEP and cobblestone, and definitely NOT suitcase-friendly. One friend in our group, who is not an avid hiker like the other two of us, had a really hard time with the steep walk, and we’d strongly caution that this is not the best choice if you have any mobility issues or cannot navigate steep hills. I will say that our hosts were extremely responsive and did everything possible to support and accommodate us, for which we were very grateful Overall, Finca El Tambor is stunning, peaceful, and unique—but likely best suited for travelers who are comfortable with a more rustic and adventurous setting.

Una experiencia diferente

La cabaña estuvo espectacular, y en general la propiedad es muy bonita. Lo único a mejorar sería que dieran claridad sobre lo complicado del acceso al sitio por caminos de tierra y que algunas habitaciones como la que nos tocó requieren de esfuerzo físico para acceder a ellas (no recomendadas para personas con cualquier tipo de incapacidad o discapacidad física) por lo demás muy bien.

This hotel really should have been advertised as glamping instead. VERY difficult drive / ride to the hotel on a winding dirt road along the edge of the mountain. VERY difficult walk through the property up and down steep cobblestone paths. No heat or AC. The parking is down the road at a local family’s personal house. Breakfast was good but pretty late at 9:00 and the same eggs, plantain, and avocado every day, so some days we skipped breakfast even though it was already paid for. It was absolutely beautiful and extremely worth it for such an affordable price, but one needs to know what they’re getting into. In terms of a hotel, there are some things to be improved, but in terms of glamping, it was great!
