Palmera Dorada Hotel

Palmera Dorada Hotel was great. Very clean place and staff is very helpful. The food was phenomenal. I had dinner twice there and the food was like eating at a five star restaurant, It was surprisingly good. The hotel is a 10 min walk to the boats that take you across the lake for town hopping. Lots and lots of places to eat, located in the Heart of Santiago, Atitlan. I would definitely make reservations here again in the future. For travelers with rental vehicles, I would say be weary of tight spaces. I had a small car so I had no issues weaving in and out of the streets. Big SUV's and trucks will probably have a harder time getting around. There is plenty to see and plenty to do if you decide not to cross the lake. A few blocks from the hotel is a market that offers everything you want at very affordable rates as well as plenty of small food stands that offer the best of Guatemalan street foods. I was very happy with my stay and couldn't have picked a better place.

Lujoso y con una maravillosa vista

La llegada hasta el hotel en carro por el tipo de calles del pueblo es un tanto complicada y al llegar siendo la 1 PM salió una señorita que nos indicó que el check in era hasta las 3 PM, y en la confusión de este mensaje nos dió a entender que no podíamos ingresar a las instalaciones antes de esa hora. Finalmente nos abrió el portón para ingresar al parqueo y realmente nos sorprendieron las instalaciones. En general todo estuvo de maravilla, pero las camas dobles no son tamaño Queen, pero muy cómodas eso sí.

Me asignaron una hab. En piso 2 junto al bar (el bar está en el pasillo sin paredes que aislen), justo saliendo de mi habitación a escasos 10 pasos. Tenía que lavantarne 4:30 am y el bar dejó de hacee ruido poco después de las 23:00, me ofrecieron cambiarme de hab. Pero cuando llamé en repetidas ocasiones nadie respondió el teléfono. De hecho para reportar el ruido tuve que llamar de mi celular al conmutador del hotel, por que de la hab. No me tomaban la llamada. Lo ilógico es que habiendo habitaciones libres asignen lss que ya sabeb serán ruidosas. En definitiva no rgresaría, es nuevo el hotel pero mal diseñado, JAMÁS asignas el bar al lado de las habitaciones.

Muy bonitas instalaciones, muy buenos precios y calidad de la comida. El acceso es complicado, uno se pierde fácilmente en calles donde es complicado transitar en carro.
