Hotel Casa Palopó - Relais & Chateaux
10/10 Excellent
"It was great, had a lot of fun and everyone was helpful with planning my days. They also went out of their way to help out with weather conditions and others."
"I truly loved my stay here. It exceeded my expectations. The amenities were amazing, from the complimentary breakfast to direct lake access with included kayaks. Being able to bring my pet along made it even better!
The staff were wonderful, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The rooms were beautiful, very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy the stay.
The property itself is stunning. Perfect for spending time outdoors, connecting with nature, and taking in the peaceful views. The free breakfast was traditional, fresh, and absolutely delicious.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again!"
"This was one of my favorite hotel stays in 30 years of global travel. I’m a budget traveler that values natural beauty and unique locations over fancy amenities or 5 star service, so that’s my reference point. La Casa del Mundo is located on a beautiful part of Lake Atitlan with amazing views throughout the day and night. Being on a cliff, you’ll walk up and down a lot of stairs, but there are many places to have a seat and enjoy the views while you catch your breath (if needed). Also, being on a cliff, there were several jumping spots into the lake.
My wife and I walked to both close villages and enjoyed slightly cheaper options on those excursions.
The staff were very service minded and spoke much better English than my limited Spanish. Also, though we stayed in a budget room with a shared bathroom 10 feet away, it was no problem. Also, the shower was a separate room than the toilet so that made sharing very easy.
Lastly, the grounds are beautiful and my wife and I took scores of amazing photos of the grounds and the views of the lake and volcanoes.
It’s a bit remote to get to, but if you’re game for getting a bit off the beaten path and are able bodied to handle a lot of stairs, I highly recommend La Casa del Mundo!"
"I have never been to a hotel with staff this wonderful. The views are idealic. The restaurant on site was excellent and a good value. We felt at home very quickly. The hotel only has 10 total rooms. We were able to chop it up and meet other guests. A+. Staff always cheerful and helpful!
I only have one complaint that is the same at every other hotel I have stayed at around Lake Atitlan. That complaint is the dogs! They are barking all night and here is a disco which can get rather loud. The hotel actually has ear plugs laid out for guests when they checkin. "
"Just a 5-minute tuk-tuk ride from both Panajachel and Santa Catarina Palopó, the location is super convenient yet tucked away in a quiet, peaceful area where you’ll truly find relaxation.
I stayed in the Iguana room, which was great. It doesn’t have a fridge, but the restaurant and kitchen area downstairs can keep your items refrigerated if needed. Very practical!
Although I didn’t get a chance to try the bar, I had dinner at the restaurant and was impressed—the Syrian dish was absolutely exquisite and paired perfectly with the wine I brought. (There’s a Q50 corkage fee, which I found very reasonable given the quality of the food and the priceless view).
The property also has a traditional Mayan sauna, which I didn’t get to try this time but definitely will in the future. It’s all done in a traditional, manual way, so you need to arrange it in advance. I highly recommend guests take advantage of this unique and relaxing experience in nature.
And finally, a big thank-you to Federico (Argentina), Andrea (Colombia), and Stephanie (Honduras)—such a warm, kind, and welcoming team. A lovely melting pot of hospitality!"
"It had so much fun staying there. anytime I need something they sent someone right away. someone spoke English and I was very thankful. Views were amazing and staff was very nice. Will be staying again! "
