On my first trip to Guatemala, I stayed in Antigua at Quinta de las Flores. This is a beautiful hotel in fabulous scenic grounds in true colonial style. Each room has a log fire which is so cosy at night and wonderful to come back to after a day out sight seeing. The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean and to a high standard and the restaurant is superb. What a pleasure. I would certainly go back there. I have no hesitation recommending to anyone to stay at the Quinta for a few nights. You will just love it.

Normally I start reviews, deciding whether to put the good first or the bad first. At this place, there is almost only good.
Grounds are wonderful, with wonderful gardens full of flowers - as well as a pool tucked away. Staff are very helpful, speak fluent English and will do whatever they can to help.
Rooms though are the best bit - because of the high ceiling, they feel enormous, but the most wonderful part, is the log fire (they supply a pile of wood for you). If you're not confident with lighting a fire, just phone reception, and they'll start it going for you.

It should be noted that the hotel is about a 15 min walk from the centre of town, but taxis in Antigua are cheap - a couple of dollars will get you into the main square.

Breakfast is pretty good (it's a morning meal, not intended for you to stuff your belly so full that you can't face food for another 12 hours). There's an all day kitchen which also serves meals and will bring to your room if you want.

Overall, the highlight hotel of this trip

Quinta is a wonderful, tranquil haven about a 10 min walk from the main square in antigua. The beds are heavenly, the staff friendly and helpful and if you're lucky you'll see a humming bird in the luscious garden. We're very sad to leave this place and will definitely try and visit again.

My sister lives in Guatemala and frequently stays here so reserved a casita for four of us when we visited. It was spacious, charming, and comfortable. The service was lovely, and the grounds were gorgeous. We couldn't complain if were were the whining type! It felt very private yet low-key. A definite find.
