We arrived from the city and the hotel took our breath away. We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa. This place was unbelievable with private courtyards, a full kitchen with washer/dryer, and living room with a fireplace. We felt very safe, as there were 2 guard checkpoints to get to the hotel from the main street. They also had a lock box for our valuables. This is one of the most tranquil hotels I've stayed at. We appreciated the free Wi-fi and access to a computer in the lobby which helped stay in touch with family while on the trip.
We enjoyed lunch at La Recoleta argentina Steakhouse (about a 15 minute drive)..what incredible food! We spent the days walking around Antigua and the evenings enjoying the fireplace in the room. We also went Zip-lining with Filadelfia Tours..what an experience!
The staff of the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Rudy. He arranged most of our tours and transportation. Rene drove the shuttle bus that we took to Panajachel and to/from the airport. We felt safe leaving our main suitcase at the hotel while we spent a few days at the beach and then returned for a final night before leaving for the airport. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Antigua.
