Multiple Use Area Lake Atitlan Basin, Guatemala hotel rooms at the Independent

"A short lancha ride from Pana to Tzununa and you feel “off the beaten path”. Just about 1/4 mi Tuk-Tuk ride up the dirt road and you see a white, modern structure that occupies both sides of the street. The resort itself is absolutely stunning. The views of the lake and volcanos are commanding. They spared no expense. Quality throughout. The patio made for a great meditation space (the unit had 2 yoga mats). The Starlink internet speed was blazing and without dead zones (perfect for digital nomads). The restaurant is stunning with a fantastic menu and Chef is world-class. Marcela (the owner) and Sebastian are super nice and helpful, assuring you have everything you need. You can also ask about the fungi academy that is walking distance to see the most interesting species of mushrooms. We will be back. It is the perfect getaway from the stressful world. Came back home maximally relaxed after staying at Aviva! "

"No a/c on any room just a fan ,breakfast starts a little late at 8:00 am .other than that the place is fair enough for the area."

"Not worth it .. Very Poor quality for Breakfast .."

"The place was absolutely gorgeous. The restaurant staff was a little slow "

"We were quite pleased to have found this eco hotel. It is basic but comfortable, quiet (except for the birds!) and clean. You can tell there is pride in the property. The staff are lovely and helpful (in Spanish mostly). If you ask, they will call a ferry for you to the private dock. The Mayan sauna and jacuzzi are a neat touch but you have to make a reservation and pay more to access. Kayaks are free to use (but go in the morning before the wind picks up). There is no hot water and beware the many stairs to get to your room. Breakfast was included and yummy."

"GREAT LOCATION. Right on the lake. We had amazing view of volcanoes and lake from the room. The property was clean."

"Great hotel very clean room. No air conditioning but at night you honestly don’t need it. It cools down to a comfortable temperature and tons of windows. The bathroom is outside and found several spiders and a scorpion in my room otherwise no complaints. Very close to the San Marcos dock. Tons of restaurants within walking distance 10 out of 10 would recommend"

"Just 1 of the waiters had a preference to serve better the euro american custumers. When i asked for the same drink in a bottle he replied by saying no glass containers near the pool which is safer but them were getting glass bottles so he had no choice but to give the same sarvice but he wasn't happy.. so treating others better is wrong you as Guatemalan must respect people of all walks of life .paying customers deserve that."

"You need to walk to main street"
