Hotel El Delfin

The place.

Big room, hot water, a pool that was large enough to swim lengths. Right on the water, great vista to sit on deck. Solid breakfast. But the best thing is the staff, particularly front of house fellow Giovani. He speaks very fluent English and knows so much about local history and customs it adds so much value to the stay to sit down and chat with him for half an hour. I’m sure he had other stuff to do but he didn’t make you feel like that and it greatly augmented my understanding of the town and its culture.

It is a top flight property. On the edge of the central area, and I have some mobility issues so it meant a bit of walking. But that’s me, I wouldn’t have thought twice about it when I didn’t have the issues. And tuk tuks whiz by in abundance so if you don’t want to walk Q5 or Q10 will get you where you’re going easily.

The relaxed atmosphere. The knowledge and assistance of the manager. Provision of sandwiches to take away when leaving before breakfast on final morning.

Being predominantly built with wooden boarding the room tended to shake a bit if many people walked passed. Slightly invonvenient needing cash to pay (as opposed to card payment at every other hotel I stayed at in Guatemala)

Hotel manager Roberto er meget venlig og hjælpsom. Stor tak for hjælp.

L'eau chaude dans la douche

Great spot on the water. The hotel manager is super friendly and helpful. I would stay here again!
