We stayed in August and it was hot, we had a room with air condition. It was very noisy but at least cooled the room. Continental breakfast comes with fruits, bread, butter, jam and a drink, all the rest is extra. The hotel was more isolated and not in any town center. We had a private tour of the towns around the lake and it was very convenient for the boat to dock at the hotel private dock and pick us up and drop us off there.

Our stay at Casa Palopa was amazing. Not only was the property beautiful, but the service stood out above all else. Communication was very clear and exceeded all our expectations. The transfers were very well coordinated and our driver Martin was excellent! He picked us up from Antigua and then taking us to the airport early in the morning to catch an early flight. He even turned the car around when I left a valuable in Antigua, very kind and understanding. I highly recommend this hotel and it is well worth the price. Above all else the food and the staff were phenomenal, I highly recommend and I hope to visit again soon!

This part of our journey through Guatemala was to stay at this hotel and relax, and we did just that. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, but be prepared to climb stairs and steep inclines but not to worry, they are very accommodating with the one golf cart they have for the guests. The food was excellent and the staff went out of their way to make sure that everything was perfect. Henry and Jonathan at the restaurant on the upper level were amazing. The spa was divine and the massages were amazing, make sure you do spa 😉 we did not visit any of the near by towns as our 2 nights was just to detach from a hectic schedule. Don’t hesitate and go ahead and book this place.
