Independent Western Highlands hotels

"The lights were flickering. There wasn’t any hair dryer or iron but everything was great."

"The property is in a right place. It has a beautiful view of the volcanos and Lake Atitlan. Not totally impress with rooms not having small refrigerators, Iron no security box. Those items are important for staying comfortably. "

"We had the most amazing stay at this property! The hotel was insanely beautiful and very well kept. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and accommodated every request we had. Truly have never been so impressed by a hotel. 1000% recommend staying here if you are traveling to Lake Atitlan/San Marcos. They can even help arrange private transfers for you to eliminate stress. I will definitely be back in the future, not one bad thing to say about this hotel!!! Huge thank you to the staff- you truly made this a memorable stay for us!"

"Couldn’t have had a better stay in Panajachel. This B&B was wonderful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped me set up tours and transfers before I even arrived onsite. I stayed in the Quetzal Yurt. It was spacious and clean. This yurt has the best views by far. There are two large patios on two different levels. WiFi was fast. Breakfast was cooked perfectly and there were many choices in addition to the standard breakfast which is included. We had dinner at Al Jouri restaurant which is prepared by a different chef than the women who prepare breakfast. The dinner was amazing and very reasonably priced. I also had a 90 minute massage which was fantastic. There are two adorable cats on site. Samson and Delilah. Delilah is the friendlier of the two. She is just adorable. The B&B is a short tuk tuk from shopping, restaurants and many attractions. Very easy to take the boats to other areas. The housekeeping staff cleaned the room everyday. We had our laundry washed and it was clean and folded in the same day."

"My first time staying at a Hostel and had a good time. Pictures are exactly how the property is. The view is amazing. "

"Owners and staff were amazing. They lined up private tuktuks and boats when needed and gave great suggestions for places to visit on the lake. 10/10 recommend "

"Our stay was 10/10. Maritza at the front desk was extremely helpful and helped us fill a two day itinerary with everything we wanted to do. The food and drinks were very good. Spa sauna is highly recommend with great views. Boat tour across the multiple towns in the lake is also a must. "

"Wonderful and helpful staff. Really enjoyed our time at La Perla Maya. Breakfast is sit down with several extras if you want additional from what’s offered with el desayuno tipico or el desayuno americano. "

"Good cliffside hotel with sweeping views of the town and lake. The staff were incredibly friendly and even helped with luggage down the steep winding steps. The restaurant served fresh, delicious food, and the lakeside path made it easy to walk to town without needing a tuk‑tuk. A convenient and memorable stay."
