「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.
It's a glamping experience that provides a great hub for checking out the other lake towns. Easy to get around via tuktuk or the ferry.
Gaby was also so incredibly helpful and always available for any questions, suggestions or...
「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 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 grounds of the hostel itself are stunning and so relaxing! They host family-style dinner's every night which was so wholesome and was a great way to meet new people. 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 」
「Very calm environment. The staff are wonderful. I traveled there with my two tween daughters and they had a blast jumping into the lake from the dock. 」
「Despite the error made on the part of Expedia as far as how many rooms we had reserved, the owner gave us the same discount on the third room. He also was very helpful in providing information about the area - restaurants, swimming holes and hiking trails. The kitchen was available to the guest to use as needed as long as you cleaned up afterwards.」
「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...
「It was a great experience. The host was great communicating and really helpful. The property is walking distance from the pier and from the main area of respaurants and also really close to the Nature Reserve Park. I recommend :) 」
「The hotel is very well located, the view from the restaurant is spectacular. The food is quite good, and the entire staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to ensure guests have a great experience.」
「Check-in went very smoothly and the receptionist was kind and helpful. The room was nice, although a little bit dated, but overall it was clean and had good amenities, like a coffee maker and refrigerator. It was within easy walking distance to shopping and dining, and although about 800 meters from the launches (to visit our towns along the lake), it was a level walk」
「El hotel esta en muy buenas condiciones, los dormitorios muy limpios y en muy buen estado. Lo unico malo es que el aire acodicionado es portatil y el aire caliente se filtra en el dormitorio. Las camas son mas o menos comodas. En general el hotel es muy bonito.」
「I absolutely loved this hotel and staff. Everyone was amazing. The front desk people were so helpful, called us tuk tuks, ordered in food for us. I wish i remembered his name but one of the guys spoke English and was awesome. The tuk tuks from hotel took only about 15 mins to get us. Santander street (all shopping, bars and restaurants) was like a 8 min ride away and a 30 min walk which we did a couple times. The view from the hotel was absolutely insane. I’d stay there every time I go to...
