Beautiful Apartment with view to the Lake
good and nice place

Casa Tzancucha, facing Lake Atitlán! Kayak+
I loved the place, very clean, comfortable, it has everything you need for your stay, a magical place full of peace and quiet, with an excellent view of the lake. And Julian is a perfect host. Highly recommended. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

House, Playa Azul Suite
The place was very nice. I found everything super clean. The hosts were super responsive and friendly. The only detail I would let future guests know (and that is beyond the control of the hosts) is that if they come alone, it can be a little scary to get to the place at night. It's very dark and with poor visibility. It is also not a "friendly" place for the disabled or people with difficulty walking since you have to go through several (small) obstacles such as rocks and loose soil to get there. Other than that, the place is beautiful and very cozy.

Residencia Antares
Everything was great, we were greeted by 2 big dogs who quickly turned out to be cuddly. It has everything you need in the room and the shared kitchen. The table tennis table is in perfect condition. Thanks for having us.

1 bd/1bath incredible lake view and Jacuzzi
My husband and I loved staying here. It was comfortable, had a beautiful view, private, and easy to get to town. Tony and Marlies really made our stay though. They were so helpful getting us tuk tuks, helping explain how to get around, etc. It was perfect and we are so glad we chose to stay here.

2bd/1ba Luxurious Loft with hot tub close to Pana
Beautiful home, very helpful host! Would stay here again. Thank you, David!

House with pool, on Santander Street.
The place was immaculate, it gives fairy tales vibes. Definitely recommend. ✨

Tzancucha Hill
We absolutely loved our stay here! The view is unbelievable and this was the perfect location to soak up the beauty that is lake atitlan. It was easily walkable to the town and if we couldn’t be bothered to walk back up the hill, there are plenty of tuk tuks to take us up! Andonías and his family were wonderful hosts, extremely communicative and dedicated to making sure we had the perfect stay. Thank you again Andonías, I hope we can come back one day
