Hotel Villa Santa Catarina  

On the shoreline of Lake Atitlán in Santa Catarina Palopó, just minutes from Panajachel. Set beneath three volcanoes (San Pedro, Tolimán and Atitlán) and steps from Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó and the Lake Atitlán basin, this family-friendly lakefront hotel puts Mayan villages and markets within easy reach.

An elegant, garden-wrapped property with rooms that open onto a central courtyard. Guest rooms feature private balconies or patios with lake or garden views, ensuite bathrooms (bathtub or shower), LED TVs, windows that open and simple, warm décor. One building feel, relaxed service and bilingual staff keep the vibe easy and local.

Two outdoor pools—one fed by natural hot springs—plus a spa offering massages, a sunny garden courtyard and an arcade/game room. Wake up to lake-breeze mornings, grab a seat by the water, and use the area shuttle or book on-site tours to explore nearby villages.

Conference and small meeting rooms, complimentary wireless internet in public areas, a 24-hour front desk, laundry/dry cleaning and free self-parking. Roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve traditional local dishes alongside international options. Room service is available and full breakfast is offered daily (for a fee) between 6 AM and 11 AM.
