"Very good "

"Casa Palopó was easily one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at! The staff were welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived. They booked us tuktuks to travel around, and allowed us to preorder breakfast and take it early on the day we left. Each time we came back to our room, they had been in to tidy up and leave us a little gift! The hotel and grounds are gorgeous, and the views of Lake Atitlan are breathtaking. The hotel is a short walk from Santa Catarina Palopó, a beautiful Guatemalan town which felt authentic and friendly. We did find that it was easier to eat dinner at the hotel in the evenings, as it got dark very early and we did not want to walk back along the road from the town. It is very much a hideaway, perfect if you are looking for rest and escape. There are activities available at the hotel too, and a wonderful pool and jacuzzi at the villa in the grounds. The decor is truly beautiful, and everything is finished to an excellent standard. Thank you so much for a perfect stay."

"Beautiful hotel and location! Definitely worth a stay here. One of our favorite hotels we stayed at in Lake Atitlan. "

"I truly loved my stay here. It exceeded my expectations. The amenities were amazing, from the complimentary breakfast to direct lake access with included kayaks. Being able to bring my pet along made it even better! The staff were wonderful, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The rooms were beautiful, very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy the stay. The property itself is stunning. Perfect for spending time outdoors, connecting with nature, and taking in the peaceful views. The free breakfast was traditional, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again!"

"It is an excellent hotel, a spa and massage area would be good."

"This was one of my favorite hotel stays in 30 years of global travel. I’m a budget traveler that values natural beauty and unique locations over fancy amenities or 5 star service, so that’s my reference point. La Casa del Mundo is located on a beautiful part of Lake Atitlan with amazing views throughout the day and night. Being on a cliff, you’ll walk up and down a lot of stairs, but there are many places to have a seat and enjoy the views while you catch your breath (if needed). Also, being on a cliff, there were several jumping spots into the lake. My wife and I walked to both close villages and enjoyed slightly cheaper options on those excursions. The staff were very service minded and spoke much better English than my limited Spanish. Also, though we stayed in a budget room with a shared bathroom 10 feet away, it was no problem. Also, the shower was a separate room than the toilet so that made sharing very easy. Lastly, the grounds are beautiful and my wife and I took scores of amazing photos of the grounds and the views of the lake and volcanoes. It’s a bit remote to get to, but if you’re game for getting a bit off the beaten path and are able bodied to handle a lot of stairs, I highly recommend La Casa del Mundo!"
