Guest Reviews
- Austin (6/5): -
- Shefali (5/5): It was a pleasant stay with a great pool area and view but the bathroom was quite dated. - The staff was great. The pool area was beautiful! The facilities in the room are very basic…no air conditioning and very hot. The showers were basic. There was no shampoo, conditioner or lotion in the bathroom. It was expensive for what you get.
- Owen (10/5): -
- KimAnnette (10/5): Great Location!!! Amazing Staff!!! Property Need Some TLC - It’s a great property with great bones!!! It definitely needs some TLC. Power Washing, Painting and Updates would definitely improve the experience and look of the property
The staff is AMAZING!!!!! From Josefa at the reception area, to ALL of the ladies in the restaurant and the ground crew. Everyone greeted us with a warm smile and welcome every day!! Definitely needs to be updated!!!!
Curtains in the bedroom need to be replaced!
Pool needs a DEEP cleaning!!!
The bathroom needs to be DEEP cleaned, there is mold!!!
- Luis Fernando (10/5): Todo el servicio muy cordial - Excelente Excelente
- Mayan (10/5): מושלם - מקום נהדר מנהלים נהדרים קשים אנשי הקבלה חמודים ממליץ בחום
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Walter (10/5): - Todo
- Moshe (9/5): Good overall comfortable beds and beautiful swimming pool and lake view. They can improve with making sure they have a g - Beautiful resort and stunning pool and the waterfront view. Was a pleasure to stay in there No air conditioner in the rooms. Blackouts happened too often. For that price the resort can make sure to have a good generator. Not fair for guess to have cold showers on vocation
- Guy (10/5): - Always a pleasure to be back ❤️ thanks for everything
- L (3/5): unpleasant, not really worth the $ - Breakfast was okay, however myself and my two friends got sick after staying at this resort. We don't know if it was the food or unsanitary water There were many fruit flies, understand that this is sometiems out of the resort's control but made our stay unpleasant
- Livio (5/5): Finto Resort - Gentilezza dello staff, pulizia e colazione Piscina e spazi interni libero accesso agli esterni senza alcun controllo imposto dal regolamento dell'hotel. Ci siamo trovati persone dormire sulle poltrone dellla nostra stanza e svegliarci per il rumore causato dagli esterni nel pomeriggio.
- Eva (10/5): Awesome - Amusing place really peaceful Good food, music and service
- Ohad (10/5): שילוב של מקצוענות ומשפחתיות שלא חוויתי המון זמן , מומלץ בחופה - האווירה, האוכל, הנוף , ובעיקר צוות הריזורט לא היה משהו ספיציפי שלא אהבתי
- Jeniffer (8/5): - La comodidad de la habitación fue excelente 👌 La Piscina que es el plus del hotel, no tenía buen mantenimiento tenía mucho moho en el piso y paredes
- Giulia (7/5): - Lots of noise during the night from the hotels close by. Music loud until 3am. Don’t recommend this place if you want to rest.
- Leticia (10/5): - Llegas caminando de donde bajas de lancha no hay problema con las maletas las calles estan bien y de este lado te quedan a 5 minutos los mejores bares y restaurantes ,la alberca y todo el hotel es muy bonito , el desayuno es buffet. Tener mas tiempo para quedarme mas
- Dina (4/5): - Franchement très déçue. Le personnel n’était pas du tout aimable ni à l’écoute. J’ai précisé que j’avais le vertige et que je ne pouvais pas dormir en hauteur, mais ça n’a absolument pas été pris en compte aucune solution proposée, zéro considération.
Côté propreté, c’est encore pire : salle de bain avec de la moisissure, literie sale, toilettes dans un état inacceptable. En plus, l’hostel était en travaux, ce qui n’était pas clairement annoncé.
J’ai également fait l’excursion Indian Nose avec eux, et là aussi déçue : ce n’était pas le point de vue classique où vont la majorité des gens, mais une autre vue. Ça aurait été bien de prévenir à l’avance qu’il s’agit d’un autre itinéraire / point de vue, afin de laisser le choix aux clients.
Une nuit m’a largement suffi.
- בורנשטייןז (10/5): פשוט מדהים . - ארוחת הבוקר היתה מעולה!! הצוות היה פשוט מדהים , חדר גדול ומרווח, מקחת מדהימה עם מים חמים( קשה מאוד למצוא מקלחות כאלה בגווטמאלה)
הכל היה פשוט מדהים! מחכה כבר לחזור בפעם הבאה☺️
- Cohen (10/5): - מקום מדהים ואחלה אנשים עשו לנו את הטיול
- Inês (10/5): -
- Bram (10/5): - The dorm was spacious with enough ahowers and toilets. The bar/restaurants were cozy and food was good. Enough places to chill and a nice swimming pool. The staff is also exceptionally nice. Josefa helped me really well when i needed to fix a mistake. -
- Yedidya (10/5): -
- כהן (10/5): מחכים לחזור בחופשה הבאה - מקום מדהים, ממש נווה מדבר, חוויה מטורפת של אוכל טעים אווירה נעימה ושלווה עם הרבה פעילויות ונופים ציוריים אהבנו הכל
- Daniel (10/5): Highly recommended - The breakfast is great, the staff very kind and especially a man named Guy!
- Line (8/5): - Poolen och uteplatsen var jättehärligt att hänga vid. Även frukostbuffén var toppen! Problem med vattnet flera ggr under resan i mitt dorm.
- Guy (10/5): A M A Z I N G !!! - Its always good to be back to amazing place like that.
Like last time that I visit those amazing hotel everting was perfect .
Stuff are super friendly and kind, bad are super comfortable and the shower work very good .
Hope to be back soon🫶🏼
- Daniel (10/5): הרגשה של בית עם פינוקים - ארוחת בוקר מעולה, יחס מצוין מהצוות.
בכללי מקום נקי ומטופח,
- Guest (7/5): -
- Amy (8/5): - Amazing view. Included breakfast with many options and available for a long time in the morning. Additional activities offered. Very noisy. The 'windows' in the showers are gaps with just mesh, no glass, so you can hear everything from the nearby street, including cars, blasting music, dogs barking early in the morning etc. The showers weren't very clean. 2 showers between 12 beds. One didn't lock, the other you couldn't adjust the water temperature. Shallow under bed lockers which you can't fit your backpack or suitcase in. Frequent power cuts and water outages, meaning you can't shower, flush, charge your phone or use the toaster at breakfast. The main room lights weren't very bright and there were no individual bed reading lights.
- cohen (10/5): An amazing, relaxing stay with great energy — definitely a place I’d love to come back to. - From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. The place is beautifully designed, clean, and well-maintained, with a relaxing vibe that instantly puts you in vacation mode. The attention to detail and the overall aesthetic really stood out. Honestly, there was nothing significant that we didn’t like. Everything was smooth and met our expectations, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
- Nicolas Raul (10/5): - La atención del personal, los espacios comunes Había un baño en reparación en El dormitorio, quedando uno solo para 10 personas
- ana (1/5): Unpleasant - Nothing I s noise anybody walks into the hotel the pool was full of people anyone cames to the restaurant at any time. No privacy at all. The pool I couldn’t use because the hotel sells tickets for people to use it. Is not for the hotel customers. I t was horribly expensive experience
- Peneloppe (7/5): - Le déjeuné inclus est délicieux.
L’espace piscine avec les chaises longues sont agréables.
Les lit en dortoir sont confortables. Les douches dans le dortoir sont sale et remplis de moisissure. Et mes deux premières journées, impossible de prendre une douche car il y avait seulement de l’eau bouillante.
La propreté de la piscine également est médiocre, on dirait qu’elle n’est jamais lavé
- Ester (10/5): סבבבבבבה בסבבה ריזורט סן פדרו - המקום מהממם נוף מהממממם. טיפלו בי יפה ממש. סלסטה וקאטה בקבלה היו אדיבות ונתנו שירות ויחס לכל צורך. החדר שישנתי בו היה נקי ומסודר (דורמס) והמיטה היתה נוחה ממש. אהבתי את האווירה שהיתה בבריכה מוזיקה טובה אוכל טעים והצוות חמודדדים כאלה. חבל שלא היה לי יותר זמן שהות שם. היה יום פינוק כיפי ומהנה.הלוואי ואבוא שוב. אני נהניתי. לא היה משהו שלא אהבתי
- Guy (10/5): - Everything was super clean and comfortable, the bad are new and also the shower was very good and strong , stuff are amazing and the food is great!!
Definitely gonna be back. :)
- Mariana (10/5): Wonderful and relaxing. - No parking
- Morgane (10/5): Établissement exceptionnel - La beauté du lieu, la qualité des chambres, la gentillesse du personnel, la nourriture du restaurant autour de la piscine ainsi que le petit déjeuner à emporter (départ en navette à 5h du matin).
- Guy (10/5): - My favorite place in the lake , I love it!!!!
- Saifeddine (9/5): -
- Francisco (5/5): - No es un hotel para descansar y no lo advierten en ningún lugar. El day pass no tiene restricción y puede llenarse al punto que la gente externa utiliza las sillas de la propia habitación. Lugar pequeño para permitir tantas personas
- Mendoza (10/5): -
- Jie (1/5): -
- Victor (7/5): - Le petit déjeuner est la meilleure chose de l’hôtel !
Dortoir ok, mais prix un peu élevé par rapport aux équipements.
- Nina (7/5): -
- Ashley (8/5): -
- Annie (6/5): Not exactly a "resort" in the traditional sense, but nice if you don't mind some noise and no A/C - The staff is very friendly and the breakfast buffet that was included in our stay was generous and varied. The pool and yoga areas are picturesque and very well set up for photo opportunities. The view from the property is lovely as it's along the waterfront. There was also an offering of on-site yoga (payment being extra) that was convenient. If you like people, there seemed to be a variety of young folks coming on site to enjoy the pool and restaurant. On the Booking.com site, it said this property had air conditioning -- this was false, THERE IS NO AIR CON. The walls of the bedroom did not reach the roof -- there is a space at the top which is cut out and covered in mesh, making a makeshift small window. I understand the natural cooling aspect of this, but this place should not be marketed as having A/C. Also, because of this window, the rooms are NOT SOUND-PROOF. Upon check-in, we were handed soft earplugs, which I was confused about, but quickly understood later, because my room was right across from the pool, which made it really loud at night when music was playing from the restaurant area and sometimes from the beach area outside the property. The electricity flickered waxed and waned in power when we were there, which made it difficult to see in the evenings.
- Thomas (5/5): I decided to take the risk and book this despite reading mixed reviews. Wasn’t horrible pool was nice, but if you’re loo - The location and the view, breakfast was good and staff was friendly Not the cleanest hostel I’ve stayed in.
- Emily (7/5): Decent stay - Beautiful view. Close walk to bars-restaurants. Very loud. We always stayed in room 14 which was right by the walk way and public bathrooms. You could hear every conversation all night and day long.
If you stay at the pool front private rooms be prepared for everyone to check themselves out in the mirrored walls. It was very uncomfortable.
- Joshua (3/5): -
- Carlos (8/5): -
- Farheem (8/5): If I come back to San Pedro, I would stay here again! - The location was great! Very close to a lot of bars and restaurants. The views were also spectacular! Since it is a party town, the music was very loud all night. This is not the hotels fault at all, the music was coming from bars and parties nearby.
- Frelen (10/5): Gorgeous facilities and beautiful views - beautiful view of the lake, the pool was beautiful to swim in. Good value breakfast included with your stay. Showers were so nice. bit difficult to get down from the top bunks, good location from beach but a short walk from main area of town (something to think about if accessibility is important for you)
- Elise (5/5): - La piscine, le restaurant, la nourriture qui est très bonne, la vue, l'espace jardin et yoga, le petit déjeuner inclus qui est super bon et copieux La propreté des lieux laisse vraiment à désirer notamment la piscine et la salle de bain des dortoirs. Les douches sont moisies, les pommeaux de douches sont tellement incrustés de calcaire que l'eau s'écoule à peine, le lavabo est incrusté de calcaire également, le bois des portes et des meubles est noirci et il y a des trous tellement l'humidité à manger le bois
- Hussain (2/5): -
- BC (10/5): Genial - La frescura de la localidad. El ruido de las fiestas de noche.
- Hannah (7/5): - Big room, big bed, hot shower, good breakfast and nice hotel area. Also enjoyed the onsite yoga class. Despite booking a suite, it wasn’t very exclusive with other hotel guests sitting on our patio chairs regularly. Pretty noisy, so would recommend ear plugs.
- Chaya (7/5): -
- Aguilera (10/5): El merecido descanso después de muchos días viajando por Guate - Las bellas instalaciones y comodidad. Venía por 2 noches, pero me quede 3. Destaco por sobre todo la atención del personal, tanto de recepción, en particular Josefa, quien fue muy amable, pero también el personal del restoran. El desayuno buffet es de otro nivel. Todo perfecto.
- carli (8/5): Would recommend to friends for a peaceful stay. - The property is beautiful. Lovely pool and rooms. Very attentive and friendly staff. I stayed in multiple hotels in Guatemala this was the best. The member of staff working at the restaurant pool area who wears the red hat is a real asset to the resort he was constantly running around and managed to be fun and patient even with my friend who was a little drunk. As there isn’t AC the rooms they have a large ventilation strip along top of the glass front. This means noise come in as well as cigarette smoke if someone choosing to sit on your balcony area. The balcony areas by the pool seem to be used by everyone rather then just the room it belongs to. A roped off area around those or sign on the tables may solve this. There needs to be a couple more sun beds and there were no umbrellas for the sun beds. With the resort offering day entry bed could get full quickly. Maybe some reserved for actual guests would be a good idea. Room 1 requires a lamp and new shower head but it felt much more private then room 13 by the pool.
- Kate (10/5): Perfect stay. - The nicest hostel I have ever stayed at. Amazing value for your money, great facilities and friendly staff! There isn’t anything I didn’t like.
- Francis (9/5): Superb location with a calming attitude - The location of the resort was probably one of the best in San Pedro. Our room was at pool level and when we opened the door anytime of the day the pool and calm waters of Lake Atitlan waited for us. The room was large enough. The breakfast had good selection in a buffet, main plate order system. The wifi could have been a bit stronger but we managed it. Parking was paid in a pretty dusty lot.
- Heather (10/5): Absolutely recommend this place to anyone! Food was delicious and the grounds are breathtaking - This place is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful rooms and beautiful property I anticipated it being extremely loud due to the reviews.. it was not that bad. Staff is super friendly, pool is beautiful but water was a bit chilly.
- Dana (7/5): Great facilities, but not so clean. - Comfortable beds with curtains.
Free breakfast was the best I’ve ever seen at a hostel.
Pool was really nice and a great place to relax.
Food at the property for purchase was tasty! Really dirty bathrooms in the dorm. They would get cleaned mid afternoon before check-in and by the end of the evening the bathrooms would stink like urine so bad to the point that I had to use the pool bathroom a couple times as it made me feel nauseous. The property would benefit from more cleanings of the rooms or better ventilation. Additionally, by the sink there was several items that had just been left there seemingly for weeks. In the time that I was there, there was a can of beer that did not get touched by housekeeping lol..,
Shower was difficult to use. The temperature was a bit inconsistent.
Not the most social place. Thankfully I got lucky and there was a few good people in my room, but it’s a really strange mix of people who stay there. I feel like a lot of people stay just for the cheap accommodation not wanting to socialize?
- Fiona (7/5): Lovey hotel in San Pedro - Breakfast was great. Pool area was nice. Good location. We had a room near the pool and it was very loud with music from the bar. Also, loud from people using the toilets outside, it kinda made our balcony unpleasant to sit at.
- Emily (9/5): Beautiful hostel! - Beautiful hostel with a gorgeous pool and sunbathing area. The breakfast was great in the morning, lots of delicious options in the buffet to choose from. Staff were very kind and helpful, I enjoyed the massage from Juanita. All in all, would definitely recommend! Many beds in the hostel room and small drawers to store belongings.
- MELANIE (10/5): Volvería y recomiendo 100% - La gente es muy gentil, amo al staff
El desayuno maravilloso
La comida y postres espectacular
Los tragos bien preparados

Estuve de cumpleaños y se portaron muy bien, me hicieron muy feliz :) Podría tener lockers para mochila grande en la habitación compartida

- Eduarda (8/5): -
- La Cele Estrada (9/5): LINDO LUGAR - El lugar es muy bonito, desayuno incluido completo, buenas instalaciones y limpio. Esta en una ubicacion "lejos" del ruido de fiesta asi que puedes descansar bien, al final es un pueblo pequeño asi que puedes caminar si quieres fiesta. Solicite una cama que estaba disponible en la parte inferior ya que me habia lastimado la pierna y me la negaron, de igual manera las camas superiores son complicadas para subir ya que no tienen ambas partes de agarre y debes sostenerte con la cama para evitarte caer, mas en mi caso que estaba lastimada. Las puertas de la regadera son de madera y tienen moho.
- Astudillo Bessi (9/5): Bello y acogedor hotel. Rico desayuno - El hotel muy lindo, se notaba que fue decorado con cariño. El desayuno delicioso, una mezcla entre continental y comida típica de la zona. Las piezas lindas y con bonita vista. Es de los hoteles más lindos de San Pedro. -El tiempo para hacer "room service" era solo entre 11-12 que me parece muy poco cuando uno está de vacaciones.
-San Pedro es un lugar bullicioso de noche y el hotel además tiene un bar cerca, asi que no es recomendable para las personas que quieren "silencio".
- Juliana (9/5): - Hotel lindo, à beira do Lago Atitlán. Quarto espaçoso, bem iluminado e de decoração agradável. Piscina limpa e convidativa. Tem bom café da manhã e o restaurante atendeu às nossas expectativas. -
- Brook (7/5): Was good, but probably wouldn't stay again - Great location in san pedro, easy to walk to everything and close to the water. Large lovely pool. Delicious buffet breakfast and coffee! The beds were very comfortable
Hot water to shower with! We had a private suite (14) they placed us right beside the pool and hostal bathrooms so we constantly had traffic and noise. When sitting on our patio we had to smell the bathrooms.
There was gum stuck to our floor in the bathroom.
Honestly, it seems this is a very nice resort but it needs some upgrades for the price paid.
- Anna (8/5): Great stay in a quiet part of San Pedro. Walkable distance to main area. - The dorms were really nice, the breakfast was amazing! Overall a great stay 😊 They didn’t have soap in the dorm room bathrooms, hopefully this is something they can add.
- Travis (8/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): - Ontbijt was prima, veel keuze en lekkere koffie. Heerlijk zwembad om bij te chillen met uitzicht over de lake. De uitleg bij het inchecken viel wat tegen, je kreeg niet automatisch een handdoek, ontbijt moest je een kaartje voor krijgen maar waren ze vergeten.
- Tatiana (10/5): -
- Marieke (9/5): Heel mooi resort, met mooi uitzicht en prima locatie! - Heel mooi resort, super fijn dat er een budget optie is!! Ik verbleef in de dorm, mijn bedje was prima.
Zwembad is echt super mooi, en koud! Uitzicht is fantastisch. Ik was er met kerst en deelde de dorm een aantal nachten met een familie uit Guatemala. Wat op zich niet erg is. Maar dan maak je moeilijk vrienden.
De rest van het resort is 2 persoons, vaak stellen en toen ik er was ook veel locals. Leuk!! Maar zelfde verhaal. Of je moet goed Spaans kunnen.
- Fany (8/5): - Aucun service aux chambres pendant les 4 nuits que nous avons été là. Nous devions aller à la réception constamment pour de nouvelles serviettes et papier de toilette… c’était un manque dans le service.
- Victor (4/5): - Bedtime Need to improve breakfast
- Santiago (10/5): Resort vibes, great breakfast, and comfortable dorm room! Would stay here again. - Beautiful location, property, and comfortable place to enjoy, sleep, and explore Lake Atitlán. I would highly recommend this place. I initially booked two nights and wanted to stay there for 3 more (unfortunately it was fully booked so plan ahead!).
The pool area is great, with chilly water but it feels great after some time in the sun.
Plenty of bathrooms and showers are both in the dorm and by the pool. Everything was always clean.
The dorm has been upgraded to have privacy curtains in every bed! The pictures don’t show this yet but rest assured every bed gives you privacy. There were also deep lockers under the bed, a bit short in height but it worked.
Lastly, breakfast was great, you get a choice of eggs and a drink plus the buffet. I started my day great every time! Bring earplugs as the street noise can travel and last a bit into the night.
The dorm sink and bathroom doesn’t come with soap. You can ask the front desk for a towel but I kept forgetting.
The showers do get warm! But might be solar powered or something as after sunset you start to struggle to get it warm. Shower early if you can.
- Garrett (7/5): -
- Hannah (6/5): - Staff was nice and I like having drinks at the bar near the pool. Bathrooms were clean and showe had hot water/good pressure. Easy walk to the main strip of San Pedro. I ended up checking out after one night. The bed had ants in it, didn’t seem clean.
- Gaby (9/5): -
- Dimitri (10/5): - L’emplacement est idéal, la vue depuis la piscine est à couper le souffle. Les portions servies dans le restaurants sont copieuses. Je vous recommande de séjourner dans le dortoir, c’était très confortable et le rapport-qualité prix était très bien !
- Maeve (9/5): Great views, great service, clean space - Staff were super helpful! Josefa and others helped me book a massage, stowed my luggage, and helped me book my bus back to Guate. Everyone I spoke to was very friendly.
- Lucie (10/5): Great stay - The ease of everything The pool was slippy & the tiles when wet were slippy also
- Ruairi (1/5): Better options available - Pictures are better than in person Music was loud and bad even when empty and everything seemed dated
- Tasja Lilian (10/5): The resort is great, well-maintained, and the service is really good. Josefa is a fantastic point of contact for any que - The resort is great, well-maintained, and the service is really good. Josefa is a fantastic point of contact for any questions, and the rest of the staff (like Kata) are also very friendly and competent! The resort has a beautiful pool, and the food and drinks are delicious. I stayed in one of the dorms and felt very comfortable there. The rooms are very clean. All in all, we’re very satisfied.
- Sophie (3/5): Poor value for money - The breakfast was nice and the staff were helpful. They organised drivers both to and from the accomodation Lights in the room constantly flicker from bright to very dim, this happened all night.
Walls are made of paper, very thin, can hear absolutely everything that happens around you sounds like people are in your room.
They give you earbuds, hence the bad reviews claiming they can hear everything, they blast music from 8am-9pm. Due to the lack of sound proofing the people who pay the most suffer the most with sound.
They said they would clean our room at 10am-11am and never did this.
Wifi is very poor and barely works.
The walkway to the rooms near the pool are in awful condition, very prone area to roll ankles or hurt yourself due to the huge spaces between tiles and the lack of filling between them.
This hotel definitely is a rip off and I would suggest paying mass amounts of money elsewhere because you are not getting what you paid for
- Marta (7/5): Jeden dzień ze znajomymi - Dobre śniadania, bliskość do miejsca skąd odpływają łodzie, obecność basenu, leżaków, miejsca do odpoczynku. Hałas, który dociera z pobliskich barów, zastrzeżenia co do czystości w łazienkach.
- Mayorga (10/5): -
- Jill (10/5): Great relaxing stay with beautiful views of the lake - The resort was absolutely beautiful. Great location with an amazing view of the lake. The rooms were very clean and every morning they came to ask if I needed cleaning. I was early with check in but the room was not ready yet but I could use all the facilities and with check out I could also stay and enjoy my day at the poool. Breakfast was good. There was nothing I did not like. It can be noisy sometimes because of other places, they warn you during check in and give you earplugs as well. Sometimes some employees could be more attentive of guests, but this was just a few times and not all staff.
- Rodelvi Estuardo (9/5): Es como estar en casa - Todo el área súper cómodo y limpio
- Young (3/5): Read this before you stay here. - Decided to stay here against my better judgment of the bad reviews because we wanted to base ourselves in San Pedro for all the activities we wanted to do, and Sababa looked the most decent. We checked out early and moved to the north side of the lake near San Marcos and we were SO much happier and glad we did.
Unless you are coming specifically to party, I would not recommend staying at Sababa. It operates more like a beach club, so if your room faces the pool, which we initially thought would be nice, unaware of the music issue, you are essentially in the middle of a party all day. You will never even get a peaceful day at the pool because loads of day passers arrive, so you can't even get a lawn chair.
In the evening, the noise continues. Music from nearby bars, motorbikes, dogs, and chicken buses. You name it, you will hear it throughout the night. For travelers looking for rest, relaxation, or an early start to explore the lake, it is not the right fit.
If your goal is nightlife and a high-energy atmosphere, Sababa may be exactly what you want. Otherwise, I recommend the north side of Lake Atitlan for a more peaceful stay, epic views of volcanoes. It is very easy to take a lancha to do a day trip to San Pedro.
The upside was that the staff was wonderful and helpful, and the food was actually pretty decent because it's pretty bad around the lake.
- Francisca (10/5): -
- Niki (7/5): -
- Alexis (3/5): - Our stay at Sababa was extremely disappointing to say the least. We specifically booked this “resort” to relax and have accommodation that was comfortable unlike many other cheaper options in San Pedro. From the moment we were escorted to our room we realized this would not be the case. We were given a pool side room with zero insulation which meant that all day long our room was filled with children’s screams and splashing noises — the room felt like an immersive daycare. The entrance of our room was at best 2 meters away from the pool. This location was not disclosed ahead of time, nor was the fact that they let anyone buy day passes to the pool which meant it was crowded all day long with patrons not actually staying at the resort. These were just our daytime issues because at night good luck sleeping. There is an outdoor club only a few lots down that plays music until 4 am. Sleeping was difficult with earplugs and impossible without. We voiced our concerns the next day but were only given an apology — the music played every night we were there. No room change and no discount. I’d say the only redeeming qualities about this place were the comfortable beds and the buffet breakfast. Incredibly disappointing considering there are many other choices around the lake of equal price.

- Maria (9/5): Mooie plek, heerlijke zwembad en goed restaurant - Leuke ligging in San Pedro, mooi opgezet met oog voor details, lekker zwembad met ligbedden. Goed ontbijt en veel mogelijkheden voor lunch/diner. Vriendelijk personeel. Ruime dorm met goed bed. Douche werd niet makkelijk warm. Op laatst had ik door hoe het werkte. Sanitair heeft wel opfrisbeurt nodig. Kamer dorm niet op slot in de nacht. Als je in de vroege ochtend weg wilt voor een excursie, is de poort dicht en het duurt lang voordat er iemand komt (moest roepen en bonken op de deuren van de receptie)
