Hyatt Centric Guatemala City
Hyatt Centric Guatemala City lands squarely in Zona Viva, the city's liveliest dining and nightlife district, with the Museo Popol Vuh just 2 km away and La Aurora International Airport about 5 km out. It's a polished, modern property with a rooftop that genuinely earns its keep: tapas bar, outdoor pool, and a 24-hour gym all share the same elevated terrace. You can swim before breakfast, which is served buffet-style. Rooms come with floor-to-ceiling windows, sitting areas, local art, flat-screen TVs, minifridges, and tea and coffeemakers. Suites add a separate living room if you need the extra space. On the ground level, there's a full restaurant, a sports lounge, and a cafe. The adult-only pool keeps things calm and unhurried up top. Airport shuttle and parking are both available, though neither is complimentary. One honest caveat: if a quiet, residential feel is what you're after, the surrounding Zona Viva energy may feel a little relentless.

Most Spectacular View and Sunsets on Magnificent Lake Atitlan
At $387 you're paying for that view, and it delivers. Sunsets over Volcán San Pedro from your terrace are genuinely hard to forget. Book a lakefront room or you're wasting your money. The boat taxi from Panajachel takes about 20 minutes. Best sunset property on the lake, full stop.

Casa Mary Lanquin A.V.
Casa Mary Lanquin A.V. sits in Lanquín, Guatemala, a town that draws travelers heading toward the natural wonders of the region. The property carries a calm, unhurried character that feels right for this part of the country. Guests consistently rate it highly, which signals a place that takes hospitality seriously even without flashy credentials. The vibe reads as no-nonsense and personal rather than polished and corporate. Lanquín itself is a walkable, small-town base, so you won't feel stranded. We can't point you to specific amenities on record here, so go in with open expectations rather than assuming a pool or restaurant. What the strong guest satisfaction suggests is that the people running this place genuinely care. If you value honest, warmly run accommodation over branded comfort, Casa Mary earns a serious look. Just confirm what's included before you book.

Zapote Tree Inn & Iwana Tours
Zapote Tree Inn & Iwana Tours has a calm, unhurried feel that suits the laid-back rhythm of Flores. It's a three-star property on the road to San Miguel, in the Barrio El Zapotal area, so you're a bit removed from the town center but still connected. The outdoor pool is a genuine draw here, and guests consistently rank it among the top reasons to stay. You can cool off after a morning out, then grab a drink at the bar before dinner at the on-site restaurant. Breakfast is available, which keeps mornings simple. Practical details are covered well: Wi-Fi works throughout public areas, air conditioning keeps rooms comfortable, and parking options include both self-parking and valet. The airport shuttle and local shuttle add real convenience if you'd rather not sort out your own transport. The "Iwana Tours" side of the name suggests an adventure focus, which gives the place a purposeful, activity-minded energy. If you prefer to be right in the thick of town, factor in the location before booking.

Westin Camino Real
The Westin Camino Real is a polished, modern five-star hotel on Avenida La Reforma in Zone 10, Guatemala City. It sits a short walk from the Zona Viva, the city's upscale shopping and entertainment district, so the location keeps things lively without being chaotic. Rooms are elegant and well-equipped, with minibars, cable TV, safes, and high-speed internet. Upgrade to a club lounge room or book a suite if you want extra space and a second bathroom. A chic apartment option exists for longer stays, and it comes with free perks baked in. Breakfast is included and served buffet-style in a refined restaurant. The bar has live music, which gives evenings a relaxed but social feel. The pool, hot tub, and steam bath mean you can genuinely unwind on-site, and there's also a spa and gym if you want to stay active. Parking is free, which is a real convenience in the city. Our honest caveat: internet access carries a fee in rooms, so budget for that.

EL PICNIC ATITLÁN
El Picnic Atitlán sits on the shores of Lago de Atitlán in Tzununa, a small lakeside village in Guatemala's Sololá department. It's a three-star property with a genuinely unhurried, off-the-grid feel that's hard to shake once you've been there. The pool is a real draw here, and with a lazy river on-site, you can easily lose a morning without trying. Breakfast is served, and the bar and restaurant mean you don't have to go far for a meal or a drink. Social hour is a nice touch that keeps the atmosphere convivial rather than anonymous. Getting here is easier than it sounds, since airport shuttle and private car service are both available. Once you arrive, a local shuttle helps you move around the lake. Watercraft rental opens up the whole basin if you want to explore beyond the village. Pets are welcome too. The one honest caveat: this is a remote location, so don't arrive expecting urban convenience. Come for the calm, and you'll leave satisfied.

TUQTUQUILAL - Cacao Tour - Eco-Hostel - Regenerative Center
The cacao tours are the reason to stay here, not just the bed. You'll leave knowing how chocolate actually gets made from the trees out back. It's more of an experience than a hotel. If you want something beyond a dorm near the pools, this one's worth the detour.

Hotel Isla de Flores
Hotel Isla de Flores sits on Avenida La Reforma in Flores, Guatemala, and carries a four-star designation that you can actually feel in the details. The property is smoke-free and calm, with a pool that guests consistently praise. You can swim before breakfast, which is served on-site and earns high marks from travelers. The bar and restaurant mean you don't have to venture out for a meal or a drink after a long day. Wi-Fi and air conditioning are both well-regarded here, which matters in a warm climate. Some rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, minibar, or coffee maker, so ask when you book if those matter to you. Private bathrooms are standard, with showers and bathtubs available in select rooms. Getting here is straightforward: the hotel offers both an airport shuttle and a local shuttle. The property is kid-friendly, so families won't feel out of place. If you need a reliable, unhurried base for exploring the Petén region, this is a solid pick.

היכן לשהות ב Guatemala
השכונה שתבחרו חשובה יותר מהמלון עצמו.
Antigua Guatemala: where to stay and what to skip
The best streets for hotels are 5a Avenida Norte and 3a Calle Oriente, both within 3 minutes of Parque Central. Casa Santo Domingo on 3a Calle Oriente is built into a colonial convent ruins and is genuinely one of the most atmospheric hotels in Central America.
Avoid anything marketed as 'colonial boutique' on 6a Calle Poniente near the bus terminal on Alameda Santa Lucía. Those blocks smell like exhaust and you're 20 minutes on foot from the centre. We've seen this mistake hundreds of times. people book cheap and spend half their trip in a tuk-tuk.
Lake Atitlán: picking the right village
Panajachel is the transport hub on the north shore, with lanchas leaving from the Embarcadero on Calle del Lago every 30 minutes or so. But Pana itself is mostly tourist shops on Calle Santander. fine for a day, not great for a stay.
San Marcos La Laguna is for wellness and quiet. San Pedro La Laguna has more nightlife around the main dock area and a younger crowd. Pick based on what you actually want, not just what's cheapest on the booking app.
Guatemala City: only one neighbourhood matters
Zona 10. Zona Viva. is the only area worth booking in Guatemala City. Avenida La Reforma and Boulevard Los Próceres have the restaurants, the rooftop bars, the business hotels. Hotel Camino Real sits right in this corridor.
The historic centre in Zona 1 around Parque Central has interesting architecture but genuine safety concerns after dark. Business travellers especially should stick to Zona 10. Your airport transfer via Calzada Roosevelt takes 20-35 minutes depending on traffic.
El Petén and Tikal: the logistics nobody tells you
Most people fly into Aeropuerto Internacional Mundo Maya in Flores, then take a 30-45 minute taxi or shuttle to Tikal park entrance. The town of Flores on its small island in Lago Petén Itzá is charming but the hotels there are basic. For something serious, Ni'tun Ecolodge in San Andres on the lake's north shore runs a 10-minute boat transfer from town.
Book Tikal sunrise entry well in advance. it caps at 50 people and sells out weeks ahead during high season. If you're staying at Ni'tun, they arrange the transfers directly. Don't try to do Tikal as a day trip from Antigua. it's a 45-minute flight or 8-hour drive on CA-9 and CA-13.
Quetzaltenango (Xela): Guatemala's underrated second city
Xela's Centro Histórico around Parque Centro América is where you want to be. Hotel Modelo sits right in this zone, 3 minutes on foot from the central plaza, and at $45-70/night it's the most honest budget option in the country.
Xela is higher and colder than Antigua. sitting at 2,333 metres, temperatures drop to 5-10°C at night from November through February. Pack accordingly. The city's Spanish schools on 19 Avenida make it popular with long-stay language students, which keeps the local restaurant scene surprisingly good.
Monterrico and the Pacific Coast: what to expect
Monterrico is a 3-hour drive from Antigua via CA-9 and the coastal highway. The beach is black volcanic sand, the current is strong, and jellyfish are common June through September. Hotel Bahia de Santiago is essentially the best option on this stretch. it's on the main beach road with direct Pacific access.
Come for sea turtle nesting season between July and October if wildlife is your thing. The Reserva Natural Monterrico-Hawaii is just east of the hotel. Weekends get busy with Guatemalan families from the capital, so book $120-175/night rooms 2-3 weeks ahead if you're visiting on a Saturday.

Antigua gets the most buzz, but Lake Atitlán is where the best hotels actually are. If you only have one region to pick, make it the lake.
Antigua Guatemala & Surroundings 2 מלונות מאומתים Colonial architecture, volcano views, and the most walkable city in Central America.
Colonial architecture, volcano views, and the most walkable city in Central America.
Antigua is Guatemala's most visited city, and for good reason. The cobblestone grid around Parque Central puts you within 10 minutes on foot of the Cathedral, the Mercado de Artesanías on 4a Calle Poniente, and a dozen good restaurants. It's compact in a way that makes hotel location genuinely matter.
Casa Santo Domingo on 3a Calle Oriente 28 is the anchor property here. Built into the ruins of a 17th-century convent, it's $130-220/night and worth every quetzal if you care about atmosphere. La Reunion Golf Resort sits 30 minutes away near Alotenango. same volcanic scenery, completely different audience.
Avoid Semana Santa if you hate crowds. The processions on Calle del Arco and around the Arco de Santa Catalina are spectacular but hotels quadruple in price and the streets are packed for 10 days straight.

Three volcanoes, twelve villages, and some of Guatemala's best boutique hotels.
Lago de Atitlán sits at 1,560 metres and has a microclimate that keeps temperatures between 16-24°C year-round. The three hotels we've picked here spread across three different villages: Panajachel on the north shore, San Marcos La Laguna on the west, and San Pedro La Laguna on the south.
Posada de Don Rodrigo in Panajachel is the most accessible, 5 minutes from the Embarcadero on Calle del Lago at $75-110/night. Mystica Resort in San Marcos is the more meditative choice at $150-200/night. yoga platforms, lake views, quiet. Hotel El Portal in San Pedro suits couples wanting something more secluded at $105-155/night.
Lanchas connect all three villages and run roughly every 30 minutes during daylight. After 6pm the lake goes quiet. That's not a complaint. it's just how it works, so plan your dinner accordingly.

Business-grade infrastructure in one neighbourhood. everything else is for locals only.
Guatemala City is not a tourist destination. It's a hub. You fly in, you sleep here, you move on. or you come for work. Zona 10, called Zona Viva, has everything you need: restaurants on Boulevard Los Próceres, the Museo Ixchel del Traje Indígena on 6a Calle, rooftop bars, pharmacies, ATMs.
Hotel Camino Real on Avenida La Reforma is the business pick at $140-210/night. It's 20 minutes from Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora via Avenida Hincapié. Conference facilities are solid, the rooms are large by Central American standards, and the security is real.
Zonas 1, 3, and 18 are not for tourists at night. We're not being dramatic. Your hotel concierge will tell you the same thing.

Tikal, jungle canopy, and the most remote great hotel in the country.
El Petén is Guatemala's wild north: flat, humid, covered in Maya Biosphere Reserve. Tikal National Park is the anchor attraction, a 30-minute drive from the town of Flores on the Tikal road. Most travellers fly into Aeropuerto Internacional Mundo Maya and rush straight to the ruins.
Ni'tun Ecolodge in San Andres is worth slowing down for. At $280-380/night it's the highest-rated property we've listed anywhere in the country. The lodge sits on the north shore of Lago Petén Itzá, accessible by a 10-minute boat from Santa Elena's dock, and the birding here is exceptional.
This is not luxury in the poolside-cocktail sense. It's luxury in the complete-silence, howler-monkeys-at-dawn sense. Different thing. Better thing, honestly.

Black sand beaches on one coast, Caribbean Garifuna culture on the other.
Guatemala has two very different coastlines. Monterrico on the Pacific is black volcanic sand, strong surf, and a wildlife reserve where sea turtles nest July-October. It's a 3-hour drive from Antigua. Livingston on the Caribbean is only reachable by boat, has Garifuna cooking, and feels nothing like the rest of the country.
Hotel Bahia de Santiago in Monterrico runs $120-175/night and is the solid family pick on the Pacific strip. Posada Belen in Livingston at $115-160/night is the Caribbean option, a short walk from the main Calle Principal and the best tapado soup restaurants.
Don't try to do both in a short trip. Monterrico and Livingston are roughly 8 hours apart. Pick one based on what you want: waves and wildlife, or rivers and Garifuna drumming.

Guatemala's second city, 2,300 metres up, and still overlooked by most visitors.
Quetzaltenango. everyone calls it Xela. sits at 2,333 metres and has a completely different character from Antigua. It's a real working city. Parque Centro América is the heart of the Centro Histórico, flanked by the Teatro Municipal and the neoclassical cathedral. Hotel Modelo is a 3-minute walk from the plaza.
At $45-70/night, Hotel Modelo is the best honest budget option in Guatemala. The neighbourhood on Avenida 12 and 11 Calle is safe, walkable, and full of local comedores where lunch costs $3-4. The streets around the Mercado La Democracia on 2a Calle are worth an afternoon.
Xela gets cold. Seriously cold by tropical standards. November through February nights drop to 5-8°C. Don't show up with only a T-shirt because the altitude will surprise you.

Romantic
San Pedro La Laguna, with Hotel El Portal sitting above the lake and Volcán San Pedro filling the view. dinner by the water and no crowds after 9pm. That's the whole pitch.
Culture
Antigua's 3a Calle Oriente is your base: Casa Santo Domingo, the Cathedral ruins, and the Museo de Arte Colonial all within a 5-minute walk of each other.
Family
Monterrico's beachfront at Hotel Bahia de Santiago gives kids space to run and a sea turtle nesting reserve 10 minutes east. nobody's bored and it doesn't cost a fortune.
Budget
Quetzaltenango's Centro Histórico around Parque Centro América: Hotel Modelo at $45-70/night, $3 lunches at local comedores, and free walks up to Cerro Quemado on weekends.
Beach
Monterrico is Guatemala's main Pacific beach strip. black volcanic sand, sea turtle reserve, and Hotel Bahia de Santiago right on the waterfront road.
Foodie
Livingston's Calle Principal has the best tapado (coconut seafood soup) in the country. and Posada Belen puts you a 5-minute walk from the Garifuna kitchens that do it right.
איך בדקנו את המלונות האלה
כל מלון ברשימה זו עבר את אותה הערכה. הנה בדיוק איך אנחנו מדרגים אותם.
We reviewed 8,000+ options across the main regions of Guatemala. We cut properties that used misleading volcano-view photos taken from a neighbouring hillside, budget hostels that rebranded themselves as boutique hotels, and Antigua Centro guesthouses charging $180/night for a damp colonial room with no hot water. We also cut anything near Panajachel's Calle Santander that relies on tourist-trap foot traffic rather than actual quality. What's left are 10 properties that earn their price.
איכות מיקום
האם השכונה נוחה להליכה? האם מסעדות, חנויות ואטרקציות נמצאות במרחק הליכה של 10 דקות? איך זה מרגיש בלילה? אנחנו מעריכים בטיחות, גישה לתחבורה ציבורית ואם לאזור יש אופי מקומי אמיתי. מלון בשכונה הלא נכונה הורס טיול. לכן המיקום נושא את המשקל הרב ביותר.
תמורה למחיר
אנחנו משווים מה שמשלמים למה שמקבלים. מלון ב-150 אירו עם מיקום מצוין, חדרים נקיים וצוות מועיל יכול לנצח מלון ב-500 אירו עם שירותים מפוארים באזור רע. אנחנו לוקחים בחשבון תמחור עונתי, מדיניות ביטול ועלויות נסתרות. המטרה היא למצוא את היחס הטוב ביותר, לא את המחיר הנמוך ביותר.
חוויית אורחים
אנחנו מנתחים אלפי ביקורות מאומתות של אורחים בפלטפורמות מרובות, מחפשים דפוסים ולא תלונות בודדות. שבח עקבי על ניקיון, צוות ואיכות חדרים חשוב. אנחנו גם מעריכים את הבלתי מוחשי: האם למלון יש אופי? מלון רשת חסר נשמה עם מתקנים מושלמים עדיין מפסיד למסעדה קטנה מנוהלת היטב עם אישיות.

מתי לבקר Guatemala: עונה לפי עונה
מחירי מלונות, עומס ומזג אוויר משתנים לפי עונה.
Dry Season (November-April)
Dry season is Guatemala's high season and prices show it. Antigua hotels hit their ceiling around Semana Santa in March-April when rooms jump 40-60% above the November baseline. Temperatures across the highlands sit at a comfortable 18-24°C, dropping to around 8-12°C at night in Quetzaltenango and El Petén. Book Antigua and Lake Atitlán at least 6-8 weeks ahead for anything December through February.
Shoulder Season (May, October)
May and October sit between the dry and wet extremes. showers come in the afternoon but mornings are clear. Hotel prices drop 20-30% compared to January, and Tikal is stunning with the low mist at 5am. This is genuinely the smartest time to visit if you can flex your dates.
Rainy Season (June-September)
Rain hits daily, usually 2-6pm, and clears by evening. The Pacific coast at Monterrico gets the worst of it. jellyfish peak in August and the surf is rough. But the highlands and Lake Atitlán turn impossibly green, and hotel prices at places like Mystica Resort drop noticeably. Sea turtle nesting season at Monterrico runs July through October. a genuine bonus if you time it right.
Semana Santa (March-April)
Antigua's Easter processions are some of the most extraordinary street events in the Americas. alfombras (sawdust carpets) cover 6a Avenida Norte and the whole city fills with purple-robed penitents. But hotel prices in Antigua double or triple the week before Easter, and rooms on 3a Calle Oriente and 5a Avenida Norte sell out by December. Book months ahead or skip Antigua entirely and head to quieter Xela, where prices stay at $55-80/night.
איך להזמין מלונות ב Guatemala
אסטרטגיות הזמנה חכמות לGuatemala.
Book Antigua during Semana Santa by December
Easter week in Antigua sells out faster than any other event in Guatemala. Hotels on 5a Avenida Norte and 3a Calle Oriente fill up by late December for March-April dates. Prices jump to $180-380/night even for mid-range properties. If you want to see the processions without paying peak rates, book 4 months ahead. or arrive the week before Holy Week when crowds are still manageable and rooms run $130-180/night.
Use lanchas early. they stop running at dusk on Lake Atitlán
Lanchas between villages on Lago de Atitlán run roughly 6am-6pm. After 6pm, you're stranded in whichever village you're in. The last boats from Panajachel's Embarcadero on Calle del Lago to San Marcos and San Pedro leave around 5:30pm. Build this into your dinner plans. either stay in your village or budget $40-60 for a private boat transfer after dark.
Never take unmarked taxis from Guatemala City airport
The exit from Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora has a gauntlet of unmarked taxi drivers. Take only the official yellow-and-white taxis from the booth inside the terminal, or use Uber (it works in Zona Viva). Official taxis to Zona 10 run $10-15. Unofficial drivers charge $25-40 and the safety record isn't great. Your hotel can also pre-arrange a transfer for $20-30.
Bring cash in quetzales for smaller hotels outside the capital
Hotels in Livingston, San Marcos La Laguna, and Quetzaltenango often struggle with card readers due to patchy internet. ATMs in Panajachel on Calle Principal charge $3-5 foreign transaction fees. Withdraw larger amounts in Antigua or Guatemala City before heading to rural areas. Budget $500-800 quetzales ($65-105 USD) per person per day for mid-range travel outside the capital.
Pack for 2,300 metres if you're staying in the highlands
Quetzaltenango, Chichicastenango, and the hills around Antigua all sit above 1,500 metres. Nights from November through February drop to 5-12°C, and Hotel Modelo rooms can feel cold if you don't bring a layer. Most budget guesthouses don't run heating. A light down jacket or fleece is non-negotiable. don't trust the subtropical label on Guatemala.
Tikal: stay nearby or do the 4am start from Flores
Tikal sunrise entry is capped at 50 people and is genuinely worth the alarm. If you're staying at Ni'tun Ecolodge in San Andres, the boat to Santa Elena takes 10 minutes and you're 45 minutes from the park entrance on the Tikal road. From Flores it's 30 minutes by taxi. usually Q150-200 ($19-26 USD) each way. Book your park ticket at least 48 hours ahead online through CONAP's official site, especially November through March.
שאלות נפוצות על מלונות ב Guatemala
תשובות ישירות מהצוות שלנו.
What is the best area to stay in Antigua Guatemala?
Stay within 5 blocks of Parque Central on 5a Avenida Norte or 4a Calle Oriente. You'll walk to everything: the Arco de Santa Catalina, the market on 4a Calle Poniente, the Cathedral. Skip anything south of 7a Calle Poniente. it's quieter but you'll spend $5-8 each way in tuk-tuks after dark.
How much do hotels in Guatemala cost per night?
Budget guesthouses around Quetzaltenango's Zona 1 run $45-70/night. Mid-range hotels on Lake Atitlán sit at $100-175/night. Luxury resorts like La Reunion near Alotenango or Ni'tun Ecolodge in El Petén push $260-420/night. You get a genuinely wide spread. Guatemala isn't just a backpacker destination anymore.
Is it safe to stay in Guatemala City?
Stick to Zona 10, locally called Zona Viva, and you'll be fine. Avoid Zonas 1, 3, and 18 at night. they have serious safety records. Hotels like Camino Real on Avenida La Reforma put you 10 minutes on foot from the best restaurants and within a $3-5 Uber ride of the Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora.
When is the best time to visit Guatemala for hotels?
November through March is dry season and the most comfortable, with temperatures around 18-24°C in Antigua. Hotel prices spike during Semana Santa (Easter week). expect to pay 40-60% more than usual and rooms sell out months ahead. For best value with decent weather, aim for May or October.
Which lake Atitlán village has the best hotels?
San Marcos La Laguna and San Pedro La Laguna beat Panajachel for quality. Panajachel has the transport hub on Calle del Embarcadero, but its hotels are mostly overpriced for what you get. San Marcos has the better boutique options in the $150-200/night range, and it's a 20-25 minute lancha ride from Pana's dock.
Do Guatemala hotels include breakfast?
About 60% of mid-range and boutique hotels include breakfast, especially outside Guatemala City. In Antigua, breakfast at your hotel near Parque Central saves you $8-12 compared to the tourist cafés on Portal del Comercio. Always check. it's sometimes listed as 'desayuno incluido' and buried in the room description.
How do I get from Guatemala City airport to Antigua hotels?
Shuttle buses from Aeropuerto Internacional La Aurora to Antigua run $10-15/person and take about 45 minutes on a good day, longer if there's traffic on the CA-9 highway. Private transfers cost $35-50 for the whole car. Skip the unmarked taxis outside arrivals. use only the official taxi booth inside the terminal or book your hotel shuttle in advance.
Are there good beach hotels in Guatemala?
Guatemala's Pacific coast at Monterrico is the main beach strip, roughly 2.5 hours from Antigua via the CA-9. The beach is black volcanic sand, and the vibe is relaxed rather than resort-polished. Hotel Bahia de Santiago sits right on the waterfront and runs $120-175/night, which is fair for what you get in a town with limited options.
What's the best hotel for families in Guatemala?
Hotel Bahia de Santiago in Monterrico works well for families. the Pacific coast setup means kids have beach space and the property has room to spread out. It's about 3 hours from Guatemala City by car via Autopista del Pacífico. Budget for $120-175/night and bring reef-safe sunscreen because the Pacific here is intense.
Is Livingston worth visiting and how do I get there?
Livingston is only reachable by boat. either up the Río Dulce from Fronteras or by lancha from Puerto Barrios, about 30 minutes each way. It's genuinely unlike anywhere else in Guatemala, with a Garifuna cultural mix and Caribbean food on Calle Principal that you won't find inland. Posada Belen runs $115-160/night and books up fast on holiday weekends.
What should I know about staying at Lake Atitlán?
The lake sits at 1,560 metres elevation so nights are cool even in dry season. bring a layer for anything after 7pm. Lanchas between villages run roughly 6am-6pm, and after dark you're stuck wherever you are, so plan accordingly. Most hotels in San Pedro and San Marcos are a 5-10 minute walk from their respective docks on the main waterfront path.
Which Guatemala hotel has the best views?
Ni'tun Ecolodge in San Andres, El Petén gives you jungle canopy views over Lago Petén Itzá. it's a 10-minute boat ride from the Santa Elena dock and unlike any other property in the country. La Reunion Golf Resort near Alotenango frames Volcán de Fuego from the course and the rooms at $260-420/night. Both earn the view.
