La Casa de Don David

The grounds are amazing location great right on the lake

Rooms could've been a bit cleaner

The male receptionist is the soul of this place, he speaks perfect English and is a nice person to chat to with lots of useful info. The Mayan garden was very interesting with signs about the plants and Mayan culture. The rooms were big, clean and comfortable. The restaurant has excellent vegan options for the area.

The shower didn’t have hot water all the time. The one day we needed to book shuttles and tours the guy on reception who is super was off and the female receptionist didn’t have a clue.

Huge garden which our kids loved running around and exploring in. Lots of other interesting things for them to see too. Lovely terrace with a view over the lake, with a great pulley contraption to order drinks from the restaurant! Lots of birds (although apparently many more at different times of year!) Room was cleaned daily. Delicious dragon fruit pie using dragon fruit from the garden!

Pillows were very large which we didn't find comfortable. Hot water in shower only lasts about 7 mins - however this is clearly stated on the shower and in the very humid weather a cold shower was actually quite welcome!

Wonderful stay at Casa de Don David, they were so helpful with a Tikal sunrise tour, lunch boxes and our lost luggage. Amazing garden and super comfortable rooms with a very cozy restaurant. We loved it!

Delightful staff - really helpful and friendly food is nice with a good range of vegetarian options beautiful gardens with lots of birds to spot excellent value for money

the electricity cut out a few times during my stay which was not the hotels fault but it was challenging for guests and staff alike they did their best in a difficult situation

Beautiful property beside Lake Petén Itzá with comfortable, air conditioned, rooms, and great, friendly, service. Owner, David, has many years of experience in the tourism business in this region, and he's a deep well of stories. His large Ceiba tree, the centerpiece of his property, is a tribute to Mayan tradition, and he manages his grounds to attract a nice variety of birds.

The staff were really great and the food in the restaurant was fresh, clean and delicious. The garden was gorgeous and the zip line for beers to the lakeside cabana was fun.

The beds were comfortable enough but the pillows were very thick and hard making it difficult to sleep. There were building works in front of the lake cabana (not on the property) No hairdryer in room.
