  "A Slice of Paradise"
  "I have been visiting Guatemala for well over 30 years and I have seen it change and evolve; I've been coming to Villa Sumaya for the past 8 years. Every year I bring my personal groups (I don't teach yoga) and sometimes I attend the retreats facilitated by others. One thing that I have always wa..."nted to give the people that put their trust in my hands as a facilitator of Psychospiritual Integration workshops is to have a great experience, no matter where in the world I create my classes. I have use resorts in Bali, Costa Rica, Egypt, the US, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and of course Guatemala. So I ask myself the question, why do you go back to Villa Sumaya again and again.... the answer is quite simple.

In addition to this the location is one of the best in the world, right in front of lake Atitlan, with two majestic volcanoes across from the lake. ... " More >

  "Fantastic place with fantastic view (just don't eat there)"
  "first of all the positives as there are plenty. the setting is truly spectacular, probably one of the best spots on the lake, with unbeatable views of the lake and surroundings. the hotel itself is wonderful, tastefully done, with beautifully maintained (yet kind of wild) gardens.

• Villa Sumaya
  "Wonderful Retreat Experience"
  "I just finished a 10 day Meditation Retreat at the Villa Sumaya with Sensei Doug Duncan. The temples, rooms and gardens are truely magical, beautifully decorated and very well maintained. The staff was very efficient and the vegetarian food was abundant and healthy as usual. Sensei Doug Duncan, ..."with his usual sense of humor, presented profound teachings on "awakening" in such a way that made their content available to beginners as well as advanced meditators. The Retreat was structured yet flexible and each person had the opportunity to have personal interviews with Sensei. It was truly a time of intense personal growth in a beautiful, supportive environment and I am looking forward to returning next year. " More >
