“A Hidden Treasure!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2007
4
people found this review helpful

I can't say enough about this beautiful hotel and the wonderful people who work at it. My only hesitation is that if I say too much the next time we are in Antigua it will be booked! The hotel is located about six blocks from the town square so it is wonderfully located. The hotel is well maintained, the grounds are beautiful, the staff is always willing to lend a hand and the atmosphere is so peaceful. We will definately stay here again when we are lucky enough to return to beautiful Guatemala.

Stayed August 2007

“wonderful and relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2007

people found this review helpful

We stayed for three days and had a wonderful visit. The staff was very attentive--I would rate the service as wonderful. The grounds are very relaxing. I would try to get an inside room as some trucks made noise on the street side. Take an afternoon to lie in the hammocks by the pool!

“Great for kids too”

This place was great for kids too. Not too far from the center, the staff was very friendly and the pool was cold, but nice. The kids loved the big hammocks and every morning there was a great breakfast that was included in the price.

“Beautiful B&B in Antigua”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2007
2
people found this review helpful

I'm not sure I can add much to what's been said already, but we highly recommend this small B&B if you are travelling in Antigua. It is very convenient, relaxing and has a gracious staff. The gardens are beautiful and there is a nice heated pool surrounded by comfortable chairs and hammocks - very handy when travelling with kids. Good coffee is plentiful and breakfast is served with a beautiful volcano view.

“great location, pretty B & B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2007
3
people found this review helpful

We spent our first night in Antigua at this charming bed and breakfast. The staff were very accomodating- our room was not ready but they held our luggage, served us drinks and we were able to relax at the pool on shaded hammocks. The gardens are pretty with great volcano views. Our room had a fireplace and a large bathroom- it was a bit noisy since it was on the street side. This hotel is only three blocks from the main square.

  • Liked — location close to the main square
  • Disliked — noise at night from the street- could not keep window shutters open to air out the room
