Rancho Grande Inn

Panajachel


Founded in the 1940s, the Rancho Grande has a dozen rooms, suites and thatched cabañas in German country-style villas amid manicured lawns dotted with fruit trees. Rates include a filling breakfast featuring original pancakes and homegrown honey and coffee. Best of all, there's bar service around the swimming pool until the early evening.
