Nice view and gardens but that's it!
Don't let the name of this hotel fool you, there is no beach at this site on the lake. The hotel is about half a block from the lake. This hotel is quite dated and worn. If you want a good nights sleep bring ear plugs, there are numerous stray dogs in the area who howl and bark all night and morning long. The rooms are not very sound proof and you can here conversations from the garden clearly as if they were in your room. My room had a gap in the door from the room to the balcony which let in the mosquitos. The pool is very small and more like a kiddy pool and looked a little cloudy when I arrived. When I went to check out I was billed for a double which was $10 more than a single. When I spoke with Juan Francisco he argued with me that I had reserved as 2 people despite the fact my reservation clearly stated 1 person. He insisted that I pay for a double room even though it was obvious I was one person. The customer service from this man was non-existent and I found him rude and uncompromising. The tv and stand was placed in front of the cupboard so if you wanted to put your clothes away you needed to move the tv and stand.

Bad, mosquitos, unhygienic, un livable
The room & bath area were filled with mosquitos. The bed sheets & pillowed looked like they were a few decades old. This place doesn't even meet the basic metrics as an entry level hotel. This doesn't even fit a hostel. We checked out in 15mins - was totally un livable. I would not even pay $10 per night for this room. Personally hotels.com should list rooms from this location.

Noisy but nice
Hotel was generally good but extremely noisy as discos nearby that go late (especially Saturday). It was very windy and flapping iron and banging doors were noisy. Staff very friendly.

Budget hotel with beautiful view!
This place is a great budget hotel! Very large, comfortable room with big windows for beautiful views of Lake Atitlan. There's a balcony where you can sit and enjoy the view and breeze. Only downside is that there is no a/c - would be nice to have a screen door on the balcony, to get the breeze without any bugs.

La vista es maravillosa desde la habitacion. Podemos aparcar el coche en el hostal durante la noche. Los restaurantes con la vista sobre el lago son muy próximos.
El punto negativo es que la habitacion no estaba muy limpia ...
Panajachel es una ciudad ideal para visitar el
Lago y hacer lancha !

Buena ubicación pero hotel muy descuidado
El hotel es muy viejo y esta bastante deteriorado. La ubicación es muy buena pero el hotel realmente necesita una renovación. Las fotos en realidad no muestran el estado real del hotel La atención de las personas encargadas es muy buena y con mucha amabilidad.
