This hotel is located in a forested area above Lake Petén Itzá. The resort is beautiful and comfortable, and has just ten rooms.
Lake Petén Itzá is a vast and picturesque lake in northern Petén, surrounded by lush jungles and dotted with small towns and ancient Mayan sites. It's a favored stop for travelers en route to Tikal. The most well-known destinations in the area are Flores and El Remate, both charming towns located right along the lake, with Flores sitting on a small island. In the Lake Petén Itzá region, visitors can study Spanish, hike, kayak, zip-line, or simply unwind.
Nestled in the rainforest above the shores of Lake Petén Itzá, this intimate lodge is about a 45-minute drive from Tikal and the Maya Biosphere Reserve. With its stunning surroundings and laid-back atmosphere, it offers the perfect setting to relax while also exploring the region's many attractions.
The accommodations consist of just ten casitas, each adorned with artwork and furniture from Bali, as well as unique Guatemalan carvings and textiles. Scenic paths connect the main lodge to each casita, some of which boast views of the rainforest while others provide breathtaking vistas of the lake.
All casitas feature a private bathroom equipped with plush robes, marble tile, a hot water shower, and organic toiletries. A covered deck with hammocks and chairs provides an ideal spot for relaxation or napping, complemented by indoor sitting areas. Each casita is outfitted with air conditioning, a desk, a safe deposit box, and a mini-fridge stocked with beverages. Room service is also available.
The main lodge serves as the hub of activity, housing reception, a gift shop, a patio, a restaurant, and a bar. The open design allows for panoramic views of the lake and jungle canopy. A small library on the patio is popular among guests for accessing free Wi-Fi or enjoying a good book. The split-level pool is a refreshing retreat after a day of exploration, situated above the casitas and offering lovely lake views.
At the open-air restaurant, guests can savor delicious cuisine alongside spectacular views. A continental breakfast featuring coffee, juice, pastries, bread, jam, and fruit is included, with additional á la carte options available for an extra charge. Dinner offerings include authentic Guatemalan dishes such as chilaquiles and beef tenderloin with chiltepe peppercorn sauce. The rooftop bar serves aged Guatemalan rum and beer from Belize, providing unmatched views of Lake Petén Itzá—a perfect place to unwind with a book or enjoy conversation before dinner.
