Loved the tree cabin. Earthlodge is theeeee spot! Love the sauna, the view, the people, the games. Everything. Just be careful not to leave your bag of chips open in the room as you are in the middle if nature and crazy ants. Everythjng else is theeeee bomb.

What an amazing place. First off, it's a bit rustic and a bit of a bohemian vibe. Odds are you have made your way to Antigua to leave the rat race behind? Then you should add this as a place to stay while in town. There are tons of hammocks to lay around, have a few drinks at the well... More

I cannot speak too highly of Earth Lodge! It is a must stay if you are in Antigua. The scenery is breathtaking and there is an abundance of hammocks, deck chairs and picnic tables to appreciate it from. The food was healthy and delicious and the 'family style' dinners create a lovely atmosphere among everyone. The staff, volunteers and owners... More

We had a wonderful time. Stay in the tree house! Awesome.There is a lovely park for children and a very nice vibe. We felt welcome and our children felt welcome. Very well done and great value. The sauna is worth stoking for sure. Long hike in so don't take too much stuff!

We intended to spend a couple nights but had some trouble in making our connection in Antigua so unfortunately only got a single night. We stayed in one of the A-frames and were quite comfortable. The shower and bath were shared but very clean and not a problem. Getting to Earth Lodge is a little bit of an adventure but... More

We stayed here for one night at the end of our trip before flying home. It was the best place to just stay and reflect on our whole trip in general since we only stayed on the property. The whole area is beautiful, espeically when watching the sun set over the town of Antigua. They have a wonderful communal dinner... More

We spent 3 nights at the earth lodge. The first night we spent in the treehouse. The views were breathtaking. The room a little small but the outdoor area + hammock made up for it. Plus the common area is so great, we tended not to spend a lot of time in our room anyway. We moved the second day... More

We stayed in the tree house for two nights and I don't think we will ever stay in a cooler room. The view can't adequately be described: sweeping vistas of volcanoes and the community below. The lodge is very nice, the staff super friendly and the communal supper delicious.

I stayed at the earth lodge for a couple of nights while backpacking in Guatemala and liked it so much I came back again. It's very easy to get to from Antigua via the shuttle and as soon as you arrive you feel miles away from the town with the views of the mountains. The lodge itself is very cosy... More
