The property is clean and in a good location... The rooms are small & there are ants in the room. The reception is friendly but slow. Pretty typical for Latin America. The pool is very clean and modest in size, but there is no place to lay out and no furniture to do it on.

The staff was so amazing and attentive. Our first room had an ant infestation and the bathroom ceiling had mold which caused a smell in the bathroom. There was no extra toilet tissue and you have to ask them for it. There should always extra bathroom tissue in the bathroom especially when 5 people are staying in a room. The mattresses on the bunk beds were super thin and you could feel the wood on your back. Very uncomfortable. The staff saw our first review and immediately offered to move us to a new room. We moved to a new room and the staff was so gracious to move our things while we were at our outings. The second room was nice but the shower was backed up like the first room. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay and the view on the top floor. There were 2 options for breakfast included in our stay both delicious. There is some noise at night from the neighbors, dogs, cats and rooster. The rooster at 12am was really a bummer. It was hard to rest. I want to express how grateful and amazing the staff were.

Many thing to improve. Far from main street

The best was Mingo and Dani, the receptionists. Super kind and frindly. Breakfast was good also. But many things to improve. Many Times nobody was at the deskfront in reception. Some mosquitoes there at the reception also. Only 1 plug hidden in the room. Curtains thin, so sun gets in early. Shower is not the best.

It was nice especially the view from the terrace and even from our 3rd floor room. It’s on the one end of town but we didn’t mind walking and it felt safe. Showers took awhile to get hot and low water pressure but nice atmosphere. Perfect midrange option.

This hotel is better than most of the same standard. The bed linen was changed every day, there was a fresh towel everyday and a new roll of toilet paper regardless as well as new bars of hotel soap. This is quite an exceptional standard for the price of the room. The deep cleaning let it down however. The pool was always looked welcoming and clean but there was nowhere to relax around the pool at all. This was definately a disappointment and I found myself looking for other places that might allow day guests to use their pool. The breakfasts were lovely but there really needs to be more choice. There is American breakfast which is eggs or Guatemalan breakfast which is eggs. I did have to go and find somewhere else a couple of times just to avoid having eggs. Overall it was a lovely stay and is in a nice situation with views of the lake and not too much noise.

Hotel room was very basic. Extremely overpriced for the shape of the room. It didn’t even have soap or shampoo only towels. Sliding glass door so no real security. It was a step up from a nice hostel only because it was a private room. Small boutique hotel in San Pedro next night was night and day in terms of amenities and comfort and for SAME price.

Perla Maya Hotel was a huge disappointment. The amenities advertised on Expedia were misleading—no towels, soap, shampoo, hairdryer, or even a working TV. The room was outdated, dark, and poorly maintained, with torn, poorly sewn sheets. There were no outlets to charge phones, no heater or AC, and the road to the hotel was a muddy mess, not mentioned anywhere. This place falls far below acceptable standards, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Arrived at the hotel and the clerk tried to dump me in a cheap room instead, while I booked a deluxe room. They said the room was already occupied!?!! Not only that owner tried to charge me 20 euro more for a cheaper room. Breakfast and facilities okay but not great. Wifi was very poor.

We really enjoyed our stay at Perla Maya. The view was amazing. We had a private terrace. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided a good breakfast. There were barking dogs in the neighborhood at night that could be annoying, but that seems common in the area. We would definitely recommend Perla Maya!
