“well, it was ok”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2007

i would definitely agree with the other reviews that comment on larissa and rudy's helpfullness and friendliness. they were very pleasant.
the hotel is also in a very safe area and is very quiet. i had no problem letting my 10 and 9 year old daughters walk outside and play in the partk across the drive.
the pool is very very small. if you are planning on swimming laps this is not the place for you. the "deep end" is about 4 feet. my girls were at first confused - "mom, is this the pool or a fountain?"
i do think the walk into town is a bit too long especially if one is traveling with children - it became tuk tuk rides and cab rides for us after one trip to town.
also, while the room was spacious, i did not think it particularly clean. it was acceptable but certainly could have been cleaner.

  • Liked — friendliness and safety
  • Disliked — too far from center of town

“Very enjoyable respite from winter”

We booked this B&B-style hotel on-line after learning our first two choices were unavailble because of weekend wedding parties. But, we loved this small hotel on the northeast edge of Antigua. Excellent bi-lingual service from Larissa (la jefa) and Rudy for recommending & booking excursions, easy to moderate walking distance to galleries, shops & restaurants (including the incomparable Casa Santo Domingo), lovely rooftop views, and quiet location. Our room was a jr. suite but plenty large enough, especially considering the cozy couch on the verranda outside the room. And WI-FI internet was available in the room. We would book El Palacio de Doña Beatríz again without hesitation.

  • Liked — friendly staff & rooftop views
  • Disliked — walk back from town at night is dark, but neighborhood is guarded

“Pleasant LIttle Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2006

We have returned from a long weekend break in Antigua staying at The Hotel Palacio de Dona Beatrix. The hotel was very pleasant, the staff friendly and rooms clean.

It is not the closest to the town square(centre) perhaps a 15' walk, but the hotel is very happy to drive you back and forth. They are also more than happy to arrange tours or side trips. (Lake Atitlan: beautiful - a must for any visitor. Pacaya Volcano: better be fit - it's a long steep climb).

The only negative that I would raise was they charged a slightly higher exchange rate upon checkout than most places (8 vs 7.5Q to the $1). To be fair this was clearly signed on the Front desk and I guess I could have paid in US$ cash.

We would certainly consider staying here if we return to Antigua.
