    hilly terrain

    The service was outstanding, especially from

    Marvin, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The views of the lake were breathtaking, although accessing the villa could be a challenge due to hilly terrain.

    Couple's Escape to Heaven

    The views were amazing. We spent our mornings on the balcony soaking in the sun while munching on breakfast brought to our room!

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but honestly worth every penny!

    Stunning views and exceptional service!

    Our stay at this villa was incredible! The breathtaking views of Lake Atitlán from our One-Bedroom Villa were complemented by the attentive service from Marvin and Deborah, who made our mornings special with delicious breakfast. We loved the kayaking experience and the tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The only downside was the steep paths which could be challenging for some guests.

    private dock
    family activities
    limited activities for kids

    We had a fabulous time staying at the villa! The view of Lake Atitlán was breathtaking, and the kids loved using the kayaks available at the private dock. Coordinating a fun lake tour and enjoying the hot tub together made our family trip unforgettable.

    My kids wished there were more activities geared towards younger children.

    more handrails
    improved accessibility

    The villas' charm combines local art with modern design, enveloped in lush gardens that kept me feeling connected to nature. The accessibility features, like easy entrances, made navigating a breeze for someone like me who appreciates comfort.

    A few more handrails would be helpful.

    breathtaking views
    comfy bed
    well-stocked kitchen
    cramped bathroom
    awkward layout

    I stayed in the One-Bedroom Villa and it was super cozy! The views of Lake Atitlán were breathtaking, with big windows to take it all in. The bed was really comfy and the shower had hot water that felt amazing after a long day. The kitchen was stocked well, so we could make simple meals. Only downside, the bathroom felt a bit cramped. But overall, it was a great space for our group!

    private dock
    complimentary breakfast
    hot tub
    cramped bathroom

    Had an amazing stay with friends! We enjoyed the private dock area and tried out the kayaks. The morning we took a weaving lesson was unforgettable! Just a heads up, the area is a bit hilly, but we loved strolling around. Don't miss the hot tub and the complimentary breakfast!

    The only downside was that the bathroom in our villa felt a bit cramped. It was clean, but the layout was a little awkward. A screen on the sliding door would have helped with the mosquito situation.

    spacious layout
    need more handrails
    improved accessibility

    I was enchanted by the warm cypress wood decor and rich original artwork throughout the villa, which truly created a cozy and luxurious atmosphere. The spacious layout allowed easy navigation, making it comfortable for seniors like myself.

    Additional handrails would improve safety for seniors.
