Had my laptop stolen from our locked private room. Before leaving the hotel for the afternoon we had asked the staff where the boats were leaving from to get to Santa Cruz, so they knew we would be out for a while. When we arrived back at the hotels laptop was missing, however, they left the case and charger. Have... More

The rooms are fairly small and the bathroom is tiny but if you are using the room for sleep only, this is the perfect place. Only $20 a night for two! It has hot water, cable TV with ABC, NBC and CBS channels and free wi-fi( which works best in the lobby). The location is the best on Satander street... More

The hotel is situated right on the main street so you are close to everything. They have their own parking area which is a plus. The price is excellent. The gardens are beautiful. It has a small swimming pool and rooms are ample with a teeny balcony. The rooms are clean and have cable tv. There is supposed to be... More

I stayed here for one night in April this year after deciding to leave San Marco on Lake Atitlan (only lasted three hours). The hotel is on the main street close to all the handicrafts shops and restaurants. The lake is a close walk nearby. The rooms are really big, we had one with two double beds. The cleaning could...

We decided to stay at Hotel El Chaparral because it was close to the lake and also because it has a free parking lot and we were not disppointed. Our friends had a room on the street, and they were very happy about it because one of the is a smoker and the rooms on the street has a small... More

A little too noisy, too close to the main street. Close to the lake and the restaurants. Big rooms. Thin sheets.

We stayed here for 2 nights and really liked this hotel. There were not many rooms taken so we were given a larger room for 5 people even though there were only 2 of us. The bathroom was clean and the shower hot ( sometimes hot showers are hit and miss in Guatemala). We had tv which might not be... More

It is a little hotel in the middle of Panajachel. Very well situated, not far away from de lake (5 minutes walking). Budget and clean. It has car park and swimming pool. TV and a little garden. The worse thing was the bathroom; though it was private, it was smaill, rusty, careless. It is one weakness to be taken into... More
