Baraka Atitlán

Very nice apartments, beautifully decorated. Great Lake view from the patio Cats visiting. Bathroom was clean, kitchen had everything.

Wifi didn't work the whole time of my staying.. I contacted the property manager and he was nice but he couldn't help me. I think I was unlucky, I hope that doesn't happen often... I didn't like the fact that the access to the patio was open, I had someone coming at my door at night, probably just a curious neighbor but it wasn't a nice experience...

Beautiful View of Volcan San Pedro and the lake Good location (not to close to San Marcos but not to far) Easy walk to town or Tuk Tuk Kitchen facilities great Swimming in front of Accomodation is great Access to kayaks Easy communication with JB Very wholseome house

Can hear people from the other levels, through the floor boards but didnt bother us at all.

The house has an absolutely amazing view. The owner thought about every detail in the house. The manager, JB, is very responsive and help with everything. Overall, it was a magical stay for me and my wife and I definitely recommend to stay in this house.

Unfortunately there was no internet during our stay due to an issue caused by provider. Manager, JB, did his best however, the issue wasn’t resolved and there is also low cellular connection so it was a bit negative on our stay. JB accommodated this issue and did his best to make sure we have a very positive experience, so even though this issue happened, I’m very positive about my experience at Baraka and I recommend it to everyone. The house is slightly far from the center so if you don’t have a car, you need to get a tuk tuk in the evenings because streets are dark during the night. You can walk to center in 10 minutes during the day.

The location within San Marcos is great, and the view is quite nice, although a little restricted on the sides. The size and style of the apartment were as expected.

There was a construction going on that we were not made aware of. When going to the pier, we had to cross a wooden plank over an open hole, and the construction workers were blasting party music right next to the beach. There is a cat that lives in the property, and he pooped on our sofa the very first night. When we complained, someone came to "clean" it, but only removed the poop and left the smear behind without cleaning the cushion. The place did not feel that private as there were construction workers crossing in front of our balcony constantly. The hot water did not work correctly at first, and the wifi was very bad. All in all it would have been a good place to stay if it was half the price.

The room is beautiful with a nice view to the lake.

Sadly, the wifi didn't work during our stay, the access to the lake was limited due to construction.

Amazing views from every angle of the place. The whole wall of glass opens up, so when the weather is good, it's really amazing to have it open air. It rained a lot while I was there, and it was the most peaceful experience watching the clouds roll in and getting the breeze off the lake. The daybed against the window overlooking the lake is just divine. I could lounge there all day. There are two very cute and friendly cats that will try to get in! It's really quiet and the bed was amazing. Most comfortable place I stayed in Guatemala. I arrived early as someone was cleaning the apartment and she was extremely nice and stowed my bag while she finished up. A nice touch you don't often get in an airbnb type place.

There are really no services available, and it's quite remote compared to the in-town properties. It's a quick tuktuk into town, though. I often walked it - maybe 12 minutes or so.

My sister and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff was exceptional. We stayed in the studio and the sheets smelled like fresh laundry! We had been traveling for a week and stayed in multiple places prior to so we really appreciated the cleanliness. Dalia made sure we had everything we needed and had beautiful energy. The staff made us feel safe and welcomed. 10/10. We also loved all the plants and the view from our room. The property management was also good and communicated in a timely manner.

The bottom floor looks like it’s under construction. I wish the steps leading to the water were completed.

The room was beautiful and you could tell a lot of thought had been put into what items to include. They had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

I would have liked to have hotter water in the shower. The temperature was very inconsistent and could be very cold. I was also very concerned about locking myself out on the terrace since the door latched once closed.
