“The room it's self was beautiful and the view from bed was world class! The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious with a nice closet space and a huge bathroom. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the view. Walking from the dock to the hotel was more confusing than I would have thought. Probably just paying the little kids at the dock to carry our luggage and show us the way would have saved us a grumpy moment of getting lost while carrying heavy backpacks. Lots of wonderful……
“Marce was sooo accomodating
The property is got ground and so serene and easy to get to from the dock🔥 I highly recomend staying here. Especially if you’re traveling as a couple. The rooms have Amazing views and are so comfortable. Beautiful bathrooms and outdoor Spaces.”
“The views are amazing!! The breakfast is delicious, the staff is friendly and the location is so convenient, you are 5 minutes away from the downtown tourist area. I will definitely stay again here again. ”
“You could write a book on all the wonderful things about El Picnic.
Jochen&Gaby have crafted a serene and beautiful experience with some of the most amazing views of Lake Atitlan.
Stellar views, thoughtfully designed rooms, relaxing lounge area, and delicious meals.

Gaby was also so incredibly helpful and always available for any questions, suggestions or……
“The hostel is located right at the base of Santa Cruz which made it super easy to grab the lanchas. My friend and I stayed in a private suite which was really nice and cozy.

The only cons I will say is that there's only wifi in the common spaces, and wifi doesn't reach the rooms. Other than that, I loved my stay! ”
“A lot of stairs to the rooms. No A/C, no screens on the doors so you have to close the doors and gets a little hot. Beautiful scenery of the lake from the rooms. Birds singing in the morning. Cafeteria is facing the lake. Beautiful ”
“Really enjoyed my one night at this beautiful little lake "cabin". Paula, the manager, was especially helpful with everything and communicated promptly with me when I had any questions, even outside normal business hours. Thank you Paula!
It is accessed via a private dock and is tricky to access after normal lancha run-times from San Marcos, so plan accordingly and buy your supplies beforehand. But the excellent view makes it more than worth it, and the morning sunrise was the highlight of my……
