El Picnic is a magical, unique, once-in-a-lifetime stay! We booked the honeymoon suite (worth the extra!) and were pinching ourselves every day we woke up at the magnificent view and nature. The bed was super comfortable. Our hosts, Gaby and Johan were so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Thank you for creating a little paradise!

A stunning property with amazing views. It is nestled into the side of the mountain and designed to make the most of the lake views. There is lots of attention to detail. My room was beautiful and very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were great, which also had a lake view! It was nice to have the Guatemalan breakfast included in my rate. There isn’t anywhere else that’s walkable. All the staff were lovely and made every effort to ensure I had the best stay. I used the hotel’s recommended...

At an exceptional property with the most breathtaking views, the staff were outstanding. A special shout out for Diana who was always on hand to make sure our stay was perfect. Especially liked the WhatsApp food ordering and dine anywhere arrangement as there were so many magical places to eat. This really is an outstanding hotel

A place of extreme peace. Loved our stay even if the endless Christmas music over 3 days really became a bit too much.
The location is gorgeous, the staff and locals are all so friendly, the view is amazing and the climate is utterly perfect. Crisp mornings and evenings, perfect for sleeping, and bright, warm sunny days.
One thing to note. We travelled from London and whenever heading west jet lag always has us up at 4-5am the first days. I love a morning coffee, my wife a tea. Unfortunately...

We loved our stay at Refugio del Volcan. We’ve been travelling through Central America for c 8 weeks and this accommodation stands out as one of the best. We had the apartment unit at the top, which has the most incredible views of the lake!
The accommodation was very comfortable and quiet at night for a great night sleep. The kitchen was well equipped and nice hot shower in the bathroom.
It’s a fair distance from San Pedro town centre but walkable, and very easy to get a Tuktuk to and from...
