The most beautiful place! The landscaping is absolutely stunning and there are so many little private nooks to relax. The food is a bit bland and overpriced, we walked to Jaibalito for better ans cheaper food.

Beautiful hotel in the mountain
Pictures don’t do it justice. Situated in the side of the mountain, lots of steps so if you have mobility issues I would not recommend. Seating areas throughout the hotel which was great for us to catch the lightening storm. I wound up sick and wish I had felt better to do more exploring. Love that there is a path from the hotel to walk to Santa Cruz and jaibalitos. If you’re planning on any water activities morning is the best time.

We loved Casa Del Mundo but wouldn’t recommend to stay there. Would have rather we did a day trip. At the time of booking I just booked whatever was available, and it turns out we booked an “Economy basic” room by accident which was an extremely small room and forced to use a shared bathroom. I wish this was made more obvious to us before arrival as we were very disappointed. Overall the property is very beautiful but the shared bathroom detracted from our stay and we were tired of the limited menu from the restaurant by day 2. Still love the hotel regardless!

This place is a must stay if you're staying in Lake Atitlan! The grounds are beautiful and the staff are lovely! My only advise of caution is that there are a lot of steep steps so just keep that in mind if you have mobility/accessibilty issues.

Charming place with amazing views of the lake. The garden around the property is a little eden. Room was somewhat tight, but clean & cozy. Would highly recommend it if you want to spend a few recharging days next to Lake Atitlan.

Beautifully terraced property with stunning views of the lake. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore to find a peaceful place to relax in the gardens. The staff was helpful, and the restaurant was good and offered enough variety for my 3 day stay.

This hotel is an experience. If we come back to Atitlan, we will stay here again. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is limited food as everything is a boat ride away, but the food they served was good. We stayed over Thanksgiving and had their Thanksgiving dinner, which was fantastic. The hotel is quiet and secluded, but it is also easy to grab a boat to Pana or one of the other parts of the lake.

Absolutely loved this place. So so cute, clean, quiet and relaxing. The staff is so accommodating and sweet, they were always asking if they could get me anything. Food is SO GOOD. Best juices I have ever had in my life. The stairs around the property are killer but it’s worth it for the views, quality and price. Can’t wait to come back!
