Pink house, hotel in Panajachel

Set in San Lucas Tolimán, 22 km from Volcano Atitlan, Pink house offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities.

We stayed in the camp site. The location and surroundings are beautiful. We asked for the inflatable mattress to be swapped for a material one and it was actually quite comfortable. It was quiet and lovely to wake up there.

EB5 Escape-Contemporary Stay, San Marcos La Laguna #1, hotel in Panajachel

EB5 Escape-Contemporary Stay, San Marcos La Laguna #1 is offering accommodation in San Marcos La Laguna. The property is non-smoking and is set 32 km from Volcano Atitlan.

We loved our apartment #2 with lake view and the artsy decoration around the property. Housekeeping and maintenance are done by a sweet local family. We were glad about the kitchen access, it wasn't clear from the property description if this was still included. When the shower worked, it was really nice and hot. There's a corner shop with a lovely employee just across the street who sold us better meds than the pricey pharmacy downtown. Yes, this property is in a less developed part of San Marcos, but by no means unsafe. If you are "scared" of poor people, don't come to Guatemala.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Nice hostel in a great location with friendly staff. The beach is only a few minutes away, there are shops and restaurants in the area, and the boat harbor is not far away either. There is free coffee or tea available during certain hours, and they also have a kitchen that you can use. They can arrange shuttle transport to other cities for same prices as other agencies in the area.

    It's probably one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Beds are comfy with full curtains and lockers to store your bags in before checkin or after checkout. And possibly the best staff that honestly make you feel welcome from the very moment you enter.

    Recommend this hostel without any hesitation. It's social, clean, owners are super friendly and helpful, the beds are confortable and have curtains. There are chillout areas on the balcony and a super nice rooftop terrace. The location is super central and you have plenty of shopping and eating facilities for any budget close.
