Beautiful property, great location and friendly staff. Definitely a great recommendation for a unique stay for those looking for "adventure travel" to Lake Atitlán that want peace and quiet. If you are more accustomed to bougie traveling you might want to consider more traditional hotel as you do need to prepare for a little walking up the stairs to your room and no heat when it can get cold in November. Very picturesque and highly recommended.

Perfect little hotel a short walk from the main part of Santa Cruz! Food was amazing, staff attentive, and we loved the hot tub and sauna (temsecal). Also very convenient right next to a tour company that took us on a kayak tour to cliff jumping!

Great view and a lot of steps

Well this a really eco friendly hotel... The view was great but there were 239 steps to our room, no wifi during our whole stay and one night without power. The hotel is actually better that the photos and food is quite nice. I wouldnt stay here again but it is a good option if this is your type of hotel.

This property is beautiful but be prepared to climb a lot of stairs. My room was #6 and it takes about 10 minutes of climbing. Also, the property has no backup generator. There was no power during my 1st and 6th day. The showers were great though even if they are just solar powered. I stayed during the rainy season and the water still gets very hot. The dining options are limited so be prepared for that. The views from Santa Cruz are beautiful though that's why I prefer to stay in this town.

Beautiful magical place

What a magical place, a little cabin nestled on the hillside overlooking beautiful Lake Atitlan. From my bed I could see Volcano Fuego erupting far away. Be forewarned, it really is up a LOT of stairs, and the water is solar heated so on a cloudy day it’s a bit chilly. Staff incredible. Good delicious. Magic.

I was never able to make it to the hotel. I tried to cancel, even though I knew the reservation was non refundable. There were unexpected issues in the country, which made it impossible to travel (roads blocked) due to protests in the county.

Beautiful Hotel but...

This hotel is in a beautiful, quiet area. There is a lovely sun deck and yoga area overlooking the lake, and a cozy living room area with a wood burning fireplace by the reception desk. The private cabins have incredible views but are up over 200 stairs, so be prepared if you book one of them. However, for the price, some things could be improved on. The towels are old and ratty, and the bed linens are extremely old and have holes and/or mended holes. The blankets seem unwashed and are full of dust; I even found a couple dead insects in them.

Absolutely best place we have stayed at so far. We spent 5 nights living in paradise at isla verde. Riley, Olí and everyone at this hotel were fantastic! The rooms, less room and more private cabin were perfect for us and just what we were looking for. It was definitely nature surrounded. I will say this hotel isn’t for everyone since the cabins are built on the side of a hill and all are located up some outdoor stairs. If you are squeamish about living things (animals including insects and plants) you want like it here. But if nature and physical activity is your thing, the place will deliver and then some. Be ready to shower in a semi open bathroom since it’s open to nature and the water is solar heated, so in days of less sun the water is tepid at best, it was all well worth it. We were looking to get away from the bustling people crushed city and this place was just what we needed. The food was FABULOUS!!! I wish I could have kidnapped their cook and brought her home!! We will definitely come back.

Amazing stay!

Had an amazing time at this beautiful gem! Staff was super friendly and accommodating, even calling for a private tour for us. Our bungalow was clean and beds super comfortable! The only drawback for me was that the kitchen didn’t open until 8am and being a coffeee fiend, I would have loved some coffee while watching the sunrise. But even then, I’d book again in a heartbeat!

Perfect place to disconnect

Beautiful natural setting- the perfect place for a quiet getaway. Set on the side of the mountain, the hotel and location are pretty rugged, so be prepared to climb some stairs. Staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, although food and drink service closes up on the early side.

We loved it!

Plus the food was great! Dinner was well worth it! Yes... There are a ton of steps, but its on a steep mountain. So If you aren't in decent shape this might not be the right place for you. But then again, all the lake villages really require a level of fitness to enjoy, except maybe Pana. The hotel is gorgeous. Staff super friendly. Would stay again.

Beautiful property on Lake Atitlan

Enjoyed my stay here at this charming eco-lodge. It was clean, quiet and the staff was friendly and very helpful. The food was great, but they do tend to serve a lot of pollo for dinners so best to find other restaurants if you want some variety. Hard to beat the gorgeous lake views from all the decks. You will get a great workout climbing the stairs daily to your cabana!

Horrible Customer Service/Unattended for Party

During the second night stay, I arrived back to the hotel after hiking only to see that it had been left virtually unattended minus a few service staff. The wifi had been turned off, and as a result, I kindly approached the only staff at the hotel to access the wifi only to be treated like absolute garbage. They had no interest in helping me connect to the internet, tried to rush dinner so they could leave and overall had a very poor attitude. I asked about when the managing staff would return, and they said that they were at a party all night and left little detail. It was absolutely horrifying that they left the hotel unattended in the middle of a rural area of Guatemala. The service staff indicated that they were soon leaving, so I decided to depart the hotel that evening to stay at another one. The next day, I asked for a refund for the night that I did not stay, and I was refused such a refund. They did not seem to care or acknowledge their responsibility in running a business. I will petition that Hotels.com remove them from their site, because it is clear that this hotel does not have any interest in providing a service to its guests. This hotel is run by a bunch of party kids that do not care about service. I urge you not to stay here for any reason. There are plenty of other options! Finally, to make matters worse, they actually charged me double for food, which they did reimburse finally but just adds more evidence that this hotel is not what it seems.
