The proprietor of Los Encuentros, Richard, is an interesting man, very pleasant to interact with; and the place he has made here, having begun with the purchase of a large old house, is a perfectly secure, relatively quiet, thoroughly comfortable place to stay. The only noise came from the occasionally barking dogs, and where in Central America will you be... More

Lovely garden and well decorated guest lounge. Rooms OK and water hot. Just a little bit in need of some tlc. The room TV is just a blur for example. And WIFI doesnt work in the room. It is a bit out of town so not noisy except for the dogs in the street that sleep by day and howl... More

Pana is a tourist Mecca! While the lake is beautiful you need to wade through countless tourist shops and other nonsense to see the beauty. The nice thing about this B and B is the location if you are looking for a quiet laid back place. That, combined with the price made it a great stay. If you are expecting... More

We were welcomed very warmly by Richard and appreciated his advice and recommendations during the 3 days we spent there. Our room was cozy, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was continental style which suited us fine as it gave us a bit of a break from the usual central American fare. A great value budget stay overall. The highlight for me... More

Posada los Encuentros is a marvelous location for a relaxed, low-key getaway from the city (for expats and Guatemaltecos alike) and for foreign travelers trekking through Guatemala. The Posada has a cozy, family feel and all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. Richard Morgan's expertise of the lake area is incomparable.

Located in the Guatemalan highlands, with easy access to a "real" Mayan cultural experience and pristine natural sorroundings, Panajachel is a very friendly and colorful place to visit and enjoyed by singles and families. Their facilities are most comfortable. Richard (owner) and... More

This is a *very* pleasant posada/ bed & Breakfast ideally situated near Panajachel and the lake and the nearby mountains and gorgeous markets at Chichicastenango, just a few fun miles by colourful bus from Antigua. The place itself is slightly out of town, comprises several types of rooms (even an appartment), very quiet and comfortable, gated for added security, but... More

The owner, Richard, and staff are extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about not only Pana but Lake Atitlan, surrounding areas as well as Mayan history. The owner authored the only explicite book about the Lake and its culture thus he has stories to tell you. In the colorful court yard is arranged a multiple of medicinal herbs and plants with...

This bed and breakfast is located in the more traditional Mayan area of Panajachel, yet only a 10 minute walk or 5 minute tuk tuk ride (about $.65) from the shops and restaurants frequented by tourists. The owner pays homage to the traditional culture with a natural medicine garden, naturally heated jacuzzi, and local Mayan art work. Our stays are... More
