Western Highlands, Guatemala hotel rooms at the Independent

"5 stars for the spotless clean room and hot springs. Breakfast wasn't that great, omelet came plan no fruits, I couldn't eat the pancakes tasted like dry flour. Plenty great options just outside of the hotel for cheaper and delicious breakfast! One of the cleanest room I ever stay, and I travel a lot! Great location! Very nice staff. You can exchange money at front desk but only from 9am, I exchanged my dollars at the pharmacy nearby that was opened earlier, everywhere was the same rate I saw. Would definitely recommend this hotel :)"

"Room was small, but cheap and adequate. I used the bench outside my room to ponder, plan, read, surf and enjoy the flora. The grounds are a great garden. The staff, Cecilia and Joaquin, are wonderful. There is a bar/restaurant across the path, El Barrio, I highly recommend."

"Great Hotel and service"

"I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars. The location is beautiful. Breathtaking views. I prefer a more laid back and quiet vibe. Kula Maya and the town of San Marcos provided that. But when my group and I wanted to have more of an outing, San Pedro was a short ferry ride away. It felt so remote and convenient all at the same time. On top of that, one of the members in our group suffered from appendicitis in the middle of the night on our first night's stay here. We were so scared and the night security guard went out of his way to find us a tuk tuk driver to drive us to the hospital in San Pedro. Following the initial emergency, all the staff at Kula Maya were so attentive to our needs. They were ready to arrange transport for us at a moments notice. I cannot say enough positive things about Kula Maya. Just book your stay here, I promise you won't regret it. It was better than anything we could have imagined. Thank you for a memorable stay Kula Maya! We love you!"

"Staff was great and everything was clean. Nice hot shower."

"Room was clean and modern. Breakfast was delicious. Beautiful view of the lake. I feel the state of the pool and bridge over the pool should be updated. I thought it was a larger property than it was. Loud music playing by the pool and heard in the rooms until after midnight. "

"Good staff, very nice place "

"The Hotel is great and super quiet, except to enjoy the vegetation around."
