Lake Atitlan is absolutely beautiful and this villa complex makes for a perfect compliment to the beauty! The two villas we stayed in were modern, safe, and gorgeous.

The lake views and gardens are gorgeous. The accommodations are luxurious and comfortable. We stayed in the main villa B'alam Ya (didn't see the other villas), which was... More

Excellent small villa & staff! The only thing needs to be improved just Spa could be better.

Gorgeous villa in a beautiful location. Very private, brand new, modern, beautiful grounds and amazing view of the lake. Great service. Enjoyed every minute of it. Javier arranges boat rides and meals delivery for you. Whatever you want, just ask. They are still new so they are getting things organized. Great friendly staff.
