Among the special places of the world, Lake Atitlán is one of the nicest, referred to as "The most beautiful lake in the world" by Aldous Huxley. Our eco-hotel is located 175 kms from Guatemala city, and is just less than 100 meters from the shores of the lake. It is possible to arrive by paved road and by boat. Your stay will be healthy and relaxing. To start the day you will be greeted by the sunrise on the mountains in front of the hotel, while hearing a relaxing birds concert. You can walk or swim and then enjoy a delicious breakfast, courtesy of the hotel. Then you can visit local weavers and painters or a more demanding trip to natural areas. After lunch you can rest on a hammock, have a cup of organic coffee or read. By night, breeze and frogs will connect you with nature. A mint fresh tea will make you sleep and have new energy.
