We just checked out of Casa Palopo this morning, and I don't want any time to pass before expressing just how fantastic this place is...WOW! Before I get into its brilliance, I'll start with the one thing that felt off about the hotel—the prices for food and drink. We met several other guests while we were there, and though all... More

We were looking for a quite peaceful getaway and this place was perfect. We just needed a quiet place to recharge our energy. The hotel is quiet, out of the way, and have a well trained staff. They are there when you need them, and will leave you alone if you don't. The beds and linens are top-class. Remember this... More

Great place. No bugs, great food, good location. Only thing is that it's so secluded that it's costs a lot to get around. We stayed 4 nights and for 2 nights we were the only ones there. Be aware of extra charges! We got a ride from airport to hotel and back and they charged a tip of 10 percent!... More

i had my concerns about this place before going as i was worried about a emerging country like this but it totally exceeded my expectations. we were there with our 3 kids and took the epic 2 bedroom hilltop villa. It has a huge disappearing edge pool, outdoor sitting rooms. Loads of covered potchs looking over the lake and 3... More

I had a business meeting here and rented 3 rooms and they were all exceptional! The setting is so peaceful and away from it all. It is a self contained paradise. You are not in town but a short distance out of town high up on the side of the lake. This place is a super romantic getaway and can... More

Nothing we can criticise about this hotel, except perhaps that it's a long way from Panajachel, or 'Gringotenango' as it is also known. This, on reflection, is probably a good thing. The hotel has all the little details you expect from truly special places, great cosmetics in the bathroom, lots of hot water, attentive staff, even hot water bottles tucked... More

I stayed at the Casa Palopo in November 2007, and chose this place because, at the time, there was nothing that came close to it in terms of the setting and amenities. What I remember four years later is how happy I felt staying there because of the impressive view and the tranquility. I have stayed at places that give... More

First things first: a disclaimer. I purchased my 3-night stay on Groupon -- a great deal that I hope comes up again, since I'm not sure I could afford to stay here otherwise. This is a lovely, charmingly-appointed gem in a small, isolated pueblo on beautiful Lake Atitlan. I stayed in Junior Suite (#3), which has its own terrace with... More

I'm writing this review on our last night here at Casa Palopo. The ambiance is second to none - cozy, warm, and with little touches that make you feel you are staying at a hotel that should charge more than it is. The views alone are worth a million dollars. The service has been great but subdued (they don't hover).... More
