Managed to stay at this place during the first days of January. Wonderful hotel, great views, nice rooms. Staff is the most friendly you can get around San Marcos La Laguna. I do recommend a stay here!

This hotel doesn't appear in my Guatemala guide, but after seeing other hotels in San Marcos, a child guide me to Jinava at the top of the main street & I was delighted! Is like a secret beautiful place with great view of the lake & decorated with a lot of flowers... Have like a "canoe-kayak" to row in the... More

Previous reviewers are correct about the climb to this modest but comfortable hotel high above San Marcos: even a mountain goat would be gasping for air! Furthermore, once you arrive at the front gate you have to climb down to get to reception and then back up to get to your room. If you are not in reasonably good shape,... More

It has clean, big rooms with views you can only dream off! The staff was very friendly and helpfull: one buzz on the bell in the bar and they came running to offer us... More

Jinava is the place that we continue to return to each time that we are in Guatemala. The staff is amazing, the gardens are gorgeous, and the place is intimate and relaxing. Jinava is a great place if you want to go to the lake for a few days to totally relax since it feels like it is its own... More

Beautiful location and very friendly staff. Garden, relaxing, swim in the lake, used the kayak for a romantic trip on the lake at sun set. Rooms, lounge and restaurant with stunning view. A nice place to spent a few relaxing days.

This place really is something special. Every room with large windows looks out onto the stunning lake Atitlan, it really was a delight to wake up and have that view right in front. The gardens and surroundings are beautiful and the rooms are spacious and clean. We took the hotel's little boat out on the lake one morning which was... More
