This is the place you have been looking for. Absolutely stunning property. The staff is great, the food is wonderful, and the view is picturesque. The hotel arranged for a private boat tour for our family that was great. The property is one town over from Pana, but is a quick and easy Tuktuk that adds to the atmosphere. We were traveling with 5 and 6 year olds and that didn’t present any problem. Highly recommend.

The lovely Hotel Villa Santa Catarina is Guatemalan-owned. Beautiful two pools, great view of the lake, and a short tuk-tuk ride to Panajachel. The restaurant on site is fantastic for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Room was spacious - no A/C, but not a problem with the cool lake breeze at night.

We absolutely loved this hotel right in the middle of Santa Catarina Palopó. Away from the busyness of Panajachel but a close drive into town if you need to access things or take the lanchas to the other villages. We took tuk tuks to get around and there was also parking at the hotel. The town itself was super charming and it was also easy to get a private lancha from near the hotel. All the staff was super kind and attentive and the entire hotel was well maintained and spotless. Beautiful views, we absolutely would come back here! Check out the town, there’s an incredible candle shop, coffee shop and beautiful textiles to purchase and support the local artisans right outside the hotel.

The pools and gardens are lovely as you come into the courtyard off a street lined with lights and colorful hanging basket streamers leading down to the water. I loved the sounds of the school next door. The room was great, staff was friendly and helpful and the food at the restaurant was the best on this whole trip. It was easy to get a taxi to Panajachel for the public water shuttles around to the other villages.
