Stunning property. The restaurant is where burger goes gourmet. The staff excellento. I came to celebrate what would have been my ma's 84th birthday and her 5th sunset day. For 5 years , I have been in so much pain, Casa Palopo, the magic that is Lake Atitlan, it's unassuming staff, was the balm to my uncountable bruise

Casa Palopó was easily one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at! The staff were welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. They booked us tuktuks to travel around, and allowed us to preorder breakfast and take it early on the day we left. Each time we came back to our room, they had been in to tidy up and leave us a little gift! The hotel and grounds are gorgeous, and the views of Lake Atitlan are breathtaking. The hotel is a short walk from Santa Catarina Palopó, a beautiful Guatemalan town which felt authentic and friendly. We did find that it was easier to eat dinner at the hotel in the evenings, as it got dark very early and we did not want to walk back along the road from the town. It is very much a hideaway, perfect if you are looking for rest and escape. There are activities available at the hotel too, and a wonderful pool and jacuzzi at the villa in the grounds. The decor is truly beautiful, and everything is finished to an excellent standard. Thank you so much for a perfect stay.

This is an outstanding property, One of the best that I have stayed in the world. The front desk staff, housekeeping staff, the sous chef, the wait staff, the turndown service staff, the staff that takes you to the hen farm, the views from their 2nd restaurant, beautifully decorated Kinnik - all possible because of their outstanding staff. The complimentary meditation kit, the french press, the kayak- all adds to the pleasantness of the stay. The beautifully decorated room A must visit if you are in Lake Atitlan. I will go back again!. Casa Palopo is an experience. THANK YOU Casa Palopo Staff.

First time visitor. Our room had a beautiful view. It was a very relaxing location. Everyone was beyond professional and accommodating. We did have an issue with our room AC unit which leaking water from a clogged drain line... they were prompt to address and gave us a remedy. We were there for an overnight stay otherwise I may have asked for another room. The weather was cooler and refreshing so the AC at that moment was not a big deal. Thank you to all the staff at Casa Palopo.
