If you want to relax with nature, sleep with windows and doors open to the elements, take a shower "al aire libre", this is the place for you. Awesome views of the three volcanoes, just at the edge of the lagoon. The people very friendly.

The rooms are very stylish with funky and interesting art and nice views over the San Pedro Volcano. The garden and terrace are really relaxing. We did not understand the room pricing, but we got a cute room with shared bathroom for 120 quetzal!

we arrived at the hotel and asked for vacancy. the super friendly manager immediately offered to show us all rooms available so we could pick the one we liked best. we stayed in sunrise which is just amazing! huge tall windows all around, high ceiling, a nice comfortable bed with super clean white cotton sheets and a view of the...

Every room is different and breathtaking, breakfast is healthy and plentyful, relaxed atmosphere. And the most comfortable beds!!
