Casa Palopo is stunning. It has to be one of our favourite properties, winning numerous awards. Dramatic hillside property with magnificent views over Lake Atitlan and the volcanoes, Tomalin, Atitlan and San Pedro, Casa Palopo is a magical hideaway.
There are only seven luxurious rooms in the main body of the hotel. All carefully designed and decorated with exquisite taste and style. Local art and colourful furnishings abound. Each room is very different whether in colour, fabrics, sunken baths or private terraces. You can enjoy breakfast and drinks on the terrace while a small, intimate restaurant awaits you for dinner. The service is very personal and attentive. Facilities include a swimming pool and gym – exercise bike, running machines and weights.
If you are seeking the ultimate in luxury then further up the hillside is Casa Palopó’s immaculate private villa. With two spacious rooms, a huge main sitting room, an infinity pool and its own helipad.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Laguna Lodge is a luxury, boutique hotel on the shores of Lake Atitlan close to the village of St Cruz. The hotel is in fact located on a large private area of land called the Tzantizotz Nature Reserve and the hotel is operated with a strong focus on sustainable travel best practice. There are good hiking opportunities within the private reserve. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and have balconies that offer wonderful views across the lake to the San Pedro and Atitlan Volcanoes.
Hotel Atitlan is nestled above a magnificent maze of terraced gardens that slope gently down towards the shores of Lake Atitlan. Sweeping views of the lake and its steep verdant hills dominated by enormous volcanoes, is a sight to behold. Each of the 60 rooms are custom designed with individual furnishings carved in the hotel’s own workshop and elaborate textiles hand-woven locally by Mayan weavers. During the evening, sip a cocktail on the terrace and admire colourful sunsets across Lake Atitlan. Meandering pathways trail through glorious gardens of hibiscus and bougainvillea, leading to the hotel pool and jacuzzi.
So many thanks indeed for the care and time that you put into organising this trip for us. I cannot underestimate the value of the latter in terms of reading what we wanted and then advising on the best way to achieve that. As I am sure you will know only too well, other operators are over keen to sell “this is what we do”, and make the sale. So thank you for putting together what will be a really memorable experience for us.
