 Amazing decor! by vtnyc
Panza Verde also has a great restaurant. The chef/owner is from Switzerland. The food is Four Star as well. In March of 2004, I bought dinner there for 3 people including: 3 glasses of wine, 2 bottles of beer, 4 appetizers, 2 lamb entree's, 2 desserts, 3 cups of coffee, and TIP (10%). The total bill with tip was only $90 (U.S.) Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 5a Ave Sur #19Phone: 502-7832-1745Directions: South AntiguaWebsite: www.panzaverde.com

The first time in Panajachel we stayed in the bungalows of Riva Bella. The bungalows are situated in a lovely garden at the mainstreet of the town. The bungalows have a shower with hot water, toilet and towels. In 1987 we payed only 5 $, now they are about 30$.
In 2006 during our second visit to Panajachel we checked the place and found out that the bungalows are still there.
We liked the central location in Panajachel, at walking distance from everything. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Panajachel, Calle Principal 2-21Phone: 7762-1348

They have their own huge complex complete with their own lagoon. Every room has a view. There are two pools and a jacuzzi tub. Only stayed 2 nights and wished we had more. There is a game room with a pool table and ping pong table as well as small tables to play cards. Did look like there was a room large enough for group meetings.
6 Scarlet macaws call the hotel home as well as a huge enclosure for white tailed deer.

We booked an excursion by plane from Guatemala City to Tikal, but decided not to return the same day, so we had more time to visit the archaeological site. We booked the Jungle Lodge, a picturesque hotel close to the entrance of the site. Originally it was built to house the archaeologists.
Some of the rooms were very basic, even unattractive. After complaints from our side -we payed for a better one- we could move to a nice bungalow. It was great to sit at the veranda of this double bungalow, to watch the lovely flowering plants and to listen to the birds and sounds of the jungle, but we got some mosquito bites too.
In 1987 there was only electricity from 6pm till 9.30pm, so we were happy we brought a torch ourselves. The bungalows have a fan and a private bathroom. Looking at the website the bungalows look upgraded nowadays. There is also a swimmingpool.
In 2006 we came by bus to Tikal and stayed in the same accomodation. This time we had the basic rooms with shared bathrooms. This tiem the rooms were OK.

Camino Real Tikal - this hotel is built on the edge of Lago di Peten Itza about 30 kilometres from the entrance to Tikal - but it is an amazing place. OK its' part of a chain - its' not exactly the cheapest place but it is the most luxurious in the area. It has a pool, and a deck from which you can go swimming in the lake - which was one of the best things I did in Guatemala. The water was 25 degrees and so clear - it was like getting in a bath - and swimming at 7am and having coffee on the dock! You can also use their boat to go out on the lake, take a Mayan style sauna and order pina coladas in the pool! Divine decadence!
The view, the mayan sauna, the lake itself! Theme: HotelComparison: most expensiveDirections: About 2km from the main road between Tikal and Flores - turn left at El Remate - near the Biotope. Right on the edge of the lake!

The hotel has only 8 rooms and 5 little house which sleep up to 5 people, a great restaurant and lounge area and a really nice swimming pool. The staff are friendly and very helpful.
5 of us in a little townhouse for 8 nights, including some meals and drinks were £135 (UK sterling) each.
Beautiful gardens, outdoor (but roofed) restaurant and lounge area, swimming pool, rooms built round a courtyard, colourful painted houses with living rooms,kitchens, fireplace, private garden etc. and lots of wonderful decorative features - too many to describe here!
The view of the volcano at the bottom of the garden is a sight I'll never forget. Theme: HotelDirections: Quinta de las Flores Calle del Hermano Pedro No. 6 La Antigua Guatemala Guatemala, Central AmericaOther Contact: www.quintadelasflores.com Phone
