Guatemala Beachfront Hotels
Guatemala doesn’t have as accessible a coastline as some of its Central American neighbors. Nonetheless, there are several good beaches here and an assortment of pleasant beachfront hotels. While staying at one of these hotels, you’ll have privileged access to Guatemala’s beaches — that makes it easy to take walks along the coast, go swimming in the ocean, or enjoy a colorful sunset. These hotels are located either right along the beach or are set slightly back from the sand.
