“Beautiful and romantic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2010

I absolutely loved this hotel.... which is considered the best of San Marcos La Laguna... It's strategically located in front of the lake... it has temazcal (mayan sauna) and kayak service included in the hotel rate. The food is good and the enviroment is peaceful and charming.

It's perfect to go there with your special one, but it's also a great place to go by yourself or to enjoy with the family.

I highly recommend it...

“Be sure to get Bungalow #2 or #1”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2010

Bungalow #2 & #1 are where you want to be ... by the lake, in front of the restaurant (w/ good privacy and separation from the restaurant) .. have great lake views, plus have sweet little front yards ... very sweet, charming places to stay. #8 can sleep many, has places outside to sit and see lake through trees though not the best lake views ... none of the views are comparable to the spectacular views from Casa Del Mundo (which has to be THE best place to stay). We did pay with credit cards and found the staff to be super nice, and helpful ... letting us leave our luggage while we explored other villages. The stove in the kitchen was without propane, and we chose not to pay to use .... ate at restaurants. The restaurant at Posada Schumann closed early in the evening, and was not open until mid morning .... nice little spot up the path that did have coffee at 8a.m. .... then, we ate breakfast at Posada Schumann (a continental breakfast is free ... or, if you choose a larger breakfast they deduct the cost of the continental breakfast so you only pay the difference ... very delicious breakfast). I would recommend (if reservations are not available at Casa Del Mundo or Arca de Noe) and if Bungalow 1 or 2 is available.

“The perfect place to relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2009

I went to a trip with my friends, we were hotel hoping until we found the Posada. The staff was great, the food delicious and the room (the lake view room) was gorgeos. We had so much fun we ended up staying three more nights. It was the only hotel with water activities such as kayaking and the only one with a dock were we could lay down and have some sun bathing. Very private, romantic and fun!! I definetly recomend the Posada Schumann for a pleasant vacation!

“Too Expensive for quality-won't take your credit card”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2009

The best part about this place is the location, right in front of the boat docks with a beautiful view of Lake Attilan. That being said, you are paying for the location. There are much better quality hotels to be found in San Marcos. The staff isn't very helpful (I had to ask for towels and toilet paper in the room), and even though they advertise that they take credit card, you have to convince them to do it (and be prepared for a 15% charge on your card).

“Guests not welcome here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2009

Although this benefits from prime position on the lake, the lack of welcome and general apathy of the staff, make Posada Schuman a real disappointment. The bathrooms are of budget standard, even in the most expensive lake-view room, the shower was a mere dribble of warm water. Cleaning was extremely minimal and sheets were not changed. The continental breakfast was a disgrace, mean butter and jam portions, no orange juice and a surcharge for coffee refill. The morning staff were apathetic verging on totally disinterested in their guests and the overall atmosphere was dispirting.
