Baraka Atitlán

Tolle Aussicht auf das Wasser und den Vulkan. Große Wohnung, was bei schlechtem Wetter hervorragend war.

Die Anbindung ist etwas schwierig. Entweder nimmt man sich ein tuctuc oder geht unten am Wasser durch Gestrüpp. Wer Angst vor Insekten hat wird hier eventuell an seine Grenzen kommen.

The studio is beautiful with a nice and cozy outside area. We loved the privacy.

Everything was perfect 💕

The Apartment was amazing, I felt home and relaxed the moment I entered. The view from the terrace over the lake is beautiful. Everything was clean, the bed was very comfortable and the flowers a beautiful detail!

The Apartment is right next to the road. It's not too busy though.

Great view, good facilities, short walking distance from town.

Nothing

Felt homey

Steps are steep that is going to be challenging for spoiled Americans

Beautiful home by the lake. JB was so responsive and helpful and let me check in early. The place was clean and bedsheets and towels smelt so fresh. Loved the access to the lake at the bottom of the stairs. Amazing views. Highly recommend.

Very small issue but I was a bit sensitive to an odour in the kitchen which might not bother everyone.

We arrived at the location and were immediately in love with the apartment. We had read on the reviews about the short walk from the centre of town to the apartment but this didn't bothered us at all we in fact liked it. It is a 10-15 min walk. I am from Berlin and that for us is like walking two U-stations so it was perfectly fine even if it rained. The view from the living room is majestic and perfect to just stay there the whole day watching the landscape, enjoying their tasty coffee! Admiring the volcanoes, seeing the landscape change, you will be awaken by the lots of birds and nature surrounding, there will be lots of colibris (humming birds) flying around. I even saw fireflies at night which I hadn't seen since childhood! The apartment overall was great, it was comfortable, there was always warm water, the fridge is big, we didn't use the stove but everything seemed fine with it. We lit up the candles at night to avoid mosquitoes and this gave the room a romantic touch. Internet worked most of the times alright, HOWEVER... (see below)

The ONE thing that bothered me (us) which is why im not giving Baraka a 10 is the privacy. The apartment was poorly soundproof and we could literally hear everything from either the upper or lower room (apartment). The first night someone (we don't know from were) yelled at us in spanish asking us to be quiet, it wasn't even 9pm and we weren't really loud, we were normal loud. Next morning I had a message from the host apologizing and he told us they were going to move the other guests to a different room or facility. There were however ongoing construction works during the day so that we basically didn't feel free the whole time. I was even sort of scared when trying to play my music. With a better sound proof this would have been the ideal place for a couple retreat.

Scenic, cosy, attention to detail and lovely view (if only the trees hadn’t grown so much :)

It was a bit more remote than we’d expected. About a 15min walk into town. We were in apartment 3, which was lovely, but I think number 1 and 2 had better elevated views and less stairs to climb.

Absolutely amazing views from the apartment. We loved the sofas right in front of the large windows and just relaxing and taking in the view of the lake and volcanoes ! The comfy robes were a nice touch. It was peaceful and quiet since it was just outside of the busier part of San Marcos. We are hoping to return !
