Our family with two kids stayed for three nights and enjoyed our stay at Hotel Atelie del Mar very much. We all enjoyed the pool, which is probably the best pool you can find in this part of Guatemala. The pool is big and clean and our kids simply loved it. We also enjoyed the food from breakfast to dinner... More

Monterrico is not a big place. So I saw most of small and medium-sized hotels there during my walks. And the more I saw them the better I appreciated Atelie del Mar. Good things there: a lot of plants and flowers (and shady places), big pool with several showers, not lazy local staff (under the management owner Stig from Europe... More

Atelie del Mar is one of my favourite hotels in Guatemala.I travel to Guatemala several times per year and always try to squeeze in one night in Monterico. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and regroup, this is the place. During the day you can alternate between the near-by beach (only metres away) and the hotel pool.... More

My husband and I spent 5 days at Atelie del Mar the week of Thanksgiving, and it definitely was not long enough. We were both tired and looking to escape our hectic lives and recharge our batteries.

We were looking for a hospitable and tranquil place and we found it! Violeta and Steve, the owners are very hospitable, they check in with guests constantly and keep the place and food the best. Thank you to the staff too who work hard to make guests stays a great Monterrico experience.

During my 5 day stay in Monte Rico I stayed at Cafe Del Sol, however I had a friend who was staying at Hotel Atelie del Mar, and spent quite a bit of time there. Not only were the owners Stig and Violeta some of the most gracious, hospitable, and wonderful people, but the pool and garden were impecable! There... More

Atelie del Mar is a gorgeous place. It has a big swimming pool and a wonderful garden. The rooms are confortable with air-conditionning. The whole place is spotless. Violeta and Stig are a great couple, so welcoming and nice. The place is at their image and I just had the best time in Monterrico. Violetta is also an artist and... More

Most important things to me at the beach are a great pool and good seafood.Atelie del Mar fills that order 100 percent. Pool is long enough for lap swimming, set in their tropical garden and is kept very clean. The fried Sierra eaten on the patio with the views of pool and gardens was delicious.Had it twice. Artist Violeta Marroquin's... More

The rooms are decent-sized, with air-conditioning, clean bed sheets and satellite TV. The staff are very nice, respectful and personable. The owners run the place with great care. The lady is a...
