On a secluded cliff facing the volcanoes is one of Guatemala's most spectacular hotels. It features sumptuous gardens, lake swimming from Mediterranean-style terraces, and a wood-fired hot tub overhanging the lake. The best rooms seem to float above the water, with no land visible beneath. Every room is outfitted with comfortable beds, Guatemalan fabrics and fresh flowers. Reservations are recommended.
The restaurant prepares a toothsome four-course dinner (Q85 to Q95), served family style. You can rent kayaks (Q50 per hour) for exploring the lake.
