Guest Reviews
- MAX (2/5): ESTE HOTEL NO EXISTE - Este hotel YA NO EXISTE en su lugar hay otro hotel con otro nombre… el anterior fue vendido hace más de un año.
- aura (6/5): - The construction was beautiful, staff was friendly, they should do something about the parking space
- Michael (8/5): - Very nice hosts. Cool property and breakfast/cafe.
- Marlen (10/5): - Services very nice
- Helene (8/5): - Bon service. Chambre propre.
- Luciano (10/5): Amazing! - Incrível!! Lugar encantador e o Stang do hotel muito amável, educado e prestativo!
- James (10/5): - Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. This is a little gem found just 30 minutes from Panajachel. With stunning views across Lake Atitlan, Nuestro Sueño, run by Don Richard and Doña Sonya is a perfect retreat. The food and service is fantastic and they are so willing to help you enjoy your stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice place
- Juan Marco (4/5): Barato pero no tan bueno - Además de deficiente en cuanto a limpieza, estuvimos bastante incomodos como familia pues nunca hubo agua caliente durante las tres noches que estuvimos hospedados. Eso si, y aunque un poco deficiente la atención, la comida estuvo buena.
- Mariano (10/5): Simplemente excelente! - Lugar perfecto para desconectar, frente al lago, seguro volveré.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly personal. Very good food at restaurant. Prompt service. Richard is a very reliable person, friendly and caring as well as his Wife 🌻 only thing I did not like was the fact that there was times when hot water was not available, but other than that, the place is very relaxing with beautiful views 💕
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great View from the 3rd - 5th floors . - The Hotel was so beautiful and with all the amenities before. It needs a lot of maintenance and some repairs to be what it was. Examples: lots of fountains, chimneys that aren't working now. TV sets that were there and were removed. Jacuzzi that has jetters no longer working. So now is just a tub. I don't know if the Sauna room worked. Another nice room that had a Small Jacuzzi, that was not working. Again, it was Beautiful at one point. I did enjoy the area, it's Safe. I loved the view, the Steam room 👌 the breakfast 👌 Richard it's a great host. You can take a boat from there and visit, Panajachel and other aldeas around there in one day for $75.00. I will go again. But if You like amenities over a nice view and nice area this Hotel isn't for you. Some part of the road, from Panajachel to get to this hotel is a little bumpy. A good vehicle is required.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Todos son muy amables y el lugar es cómodo y apacible. El único inconveniente fue con el agua caliente que no funciona adecuadamente.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Hotel Nuestro Sueno was a very safe, welcoming hotel with a gorgeous view. Come here for an authentic experience of Lake Atitlan. I borrowed a kayak for free for over an hour and it was one of the top 5 best travel experiences I’ve ever had. The lake is breathtaking! I was staying alone and my room was huge with 2 beds, one being a full, and a jacuzzi with a view of the water. I would say don’t underestimate the “off the beaten path” nature of San Antonio. It adds a step to any excursions you may want to do (you need to go into Panajachel to leave via boats to the islands with the popular activities.) That being said, when I did visit San Pedro and Panajachel to climb Volcan San Pedro, I IMMEDIATELY was extremely grateful to be staying at Hotel Nuestro Sueño in San Antonio. The vibe in San Pedro was totally sleazy and there’s no way I would have gotten the incredible waterfront location that I did here if I stayed there. Also taking a pickup from San Antonio to Pana was easy enough with a 2 min walk and 20-30 min pickup ride for less than $1 USD. San Antonio is minimally touristy, which is a pro, but also there are not a ton of restaurants or bars around, so I stuck to eating at this hotel and one down the road. At Hotel Nuestro Sueño I felt like family and was well attended to, but don’t expect to be waited on - feel free to ask for things and get to know the family who lives there for an very unique and worthwhile experience.
- Gonzalo (8/5): muy bonito - un hotel muy lindo, con excelente vista. el estacionamiento nos cobraron adicional, el desayuno lo servian muy tarde, como 730am y pues a diferencia de otros hoteles donde nos buscaban soluciones aca no fue asi. habitaciones comodas, pero el wifi no llega a pisos superiores.
- MERCEDES (10/5): - Excelente servicio. Buenísima atención. La comida muy rica.
- Juan (10/5): Family trip to Atitlan - One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at, the owners make you feel welcomed. View and location is amazing
- Verified traveler (2/5): Very misleading consider elsewhere! - Be warned, hotel is in the a remote area of the lake, no attractions or restaurants in the town. We knew we would be a bit more isolated than say Panajachel but as the hotel advertised so many nice facilities we were excited to lounge around the hotel and enjoy the pool/gym/restaurants etc. The view of the lake is great but definitely consider other options. Service - this is a family hotel so service of staff is fairly poor. They were surprised to see us at check in (and we were the only guests during our entire stay). We felt as if we couldn’t use the common area without interrupting people in their home. Gym - severely broken equipment and caked in dust. Pool - stagnant and hidden in a dark corner of the room. We were afraid we would get ill using it as it didn’t look maintained. Restaurant - (only 1 not 2) slow service, limited menu and ingredients, only one in town so you have to make do. Other facilities - not “near the beach” there is no beach. No “coffee shop/Café”. “Wifi” was only available in lobby area and cut out every minute or so. Cleanliness - lounge had old popcorn machine with old popcorn in, trash in fire pit. Noise - be prepared for loud traffic/ residents music and a children’s playground from early hours to late. The windows/patio doors are not sealed so no break from outside noise or bugs. As nice as Richard was our overall experience was very disappointing. Very deceiving advertisement. Have more negatives than letters available
- Marvel (10/5): Excellent stay - Fue una de las decisions mejores q hicimos durante nuestro recorrido por el lago de atitlan, Richard el dueño del hotel es una gran persona, muy amable y siempre asegurandoce q nuestra estadia fuera placentera. Doña Sonia, esposa del señor Richard siempre No's hizo sentir bien y No's alludo a conseguir una persona q No's llevo a una aldea aledaña por in buen precio...Resumen..una experiencia buenisima, les recomiendo visitar hotel nuestro sueño en San Antonio palopo
- Alex (10/5): Excelente - Excelente servicio, personal amable.. Lo mejor, llevamos nuestro cachorro con nosotros. Muy bien
- Rachel (8/5): Great location! - Don Ricardo and Sonia are very accommodating and extremely helpful. The hotel is lakeside and located conveniently on main road. The help, Sandra and Maria are the gems of the place.The food service is not the best, but food is great!
- Vanessa (2/5): Not romantic at all - avoid or purchase insurance! - I booked this hotel based on the reviews and the listing as "romantic". After a 7 hour car trip, I was exhausted and looking forward to relaxing. Upon arrival, the hotel "upgraded" me without my knowledge to a room that was dirty with broken dressers, mildew, and broken doors. The door lock to the room was broken, so I was trapped in the room for 15 minutes and had to exit from another guest's room. Furthermore, the hotel was located next to a church where a wedding was going on. The noise level was so loud it make the walls and windows of the establishment shake. I felt unsafe in a room with a malfunctioning lock and assaulted by inescapable, intolerable noise. I never checked in to the hotel and after being freed from the room, left. I was there a total of about 20 minutes. After leaving, the owner sent me a bizarre email berating me and calling me racist (I would post but it would exceed word limit) and telling me that I was insensitive to Mayan culture. I didn't know blasting Kenny G on repeat was part of Mayan culture. My advice, skip this place or purchase traveler's insurance to get your money back! Not at all worth the money or drive. Also, there are far better views in Panachel.
- Teresa (10/5): Remote, idyllic hidden gem - This hotel is off the beaten path. It is two villages south of Panahachel, so don’t underestimate the travel time. But once you are there, you are well cared for. The hotel is owned and run by Don Richard, an American who has lived in Guatemala for 30 years. His advice and assistance are priceless, and can make your trip all the more special. The hotel has beautiful views of the lake, and it’s iconic volcano. Our room overlooked the lake and volcano, but also a lively playground, soccer field and washing spot, so it offers a nice idea of daily life. It serves good food, and has lovely nooks and spaces to sit for a meal, a coffee, or relax with a book. While I was there, Richard helped my family with car service, a boat trip, and shared his wealth of understanding about the history of the country and it’s economy. Our stay here was a special treat.
- carlos (8/5): Nice cozy place - Great place to stay. Wonderful people and a gentleman with a thousand stories to entertain you at night during supper. Rooms are big and have a fireplace to enjoy the great view of the lake. No much to see in town but you can eat at the hotel and have a beer or a drink with the hotel owner. You won't regret it. Panajacjel is 30 minutes away if you want to have some more choices for lunch or supper.
- Robert (8/5): Quiet Remote Mayan Village - Best part of experience was attention of hosts Richard and Sonia. Lovely location off the beaton path right by Lake Atitlan. Opportunity to visit nearly Mayan communities by boat and enjoy the community itself. Be prepared for a 3 to 4 hour drive from the Quatemala City airport to get here.
- Susana (10/5): Wonderful Views! - The hotel had the best views of the lake Atitlan. My husband and I were able to enjoy the sunrise view from our window and it was breathtaking. Richard was very nice and offered his assistance when we needed it. We had dinner at the hotel's restaurant the night that we stayed there. Even though they were about to close the kitchen, they made an exception and were able to serve us which I thought was wonderful as not too many places would do that. The room was very clean, fresh bottled water, TV, Wifi, and a jacuzzi! Would recommend to anyone trying to go to a more relaxed place outside Panajachel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excelente hotel. 100% recomendado - nada que quejar. personales muy amables con un excelente ubicacion.
- Fiona (8/5): Great retreat with amazing view of lake Atitlan - Family owned hotel in very quiet area of San Antonio Palopo. The owners knowledge of Mayan culture was very good and he has some interesting artifacts around the hotel from the Mayan era. Excellent views overlooking the lake and comfortable rooms. Shower was good with best fluffy towels since we've been travelling. Food was cooked fresh to order and was of consistent high quality. In the morning there are lots of pretty birds in the trees you can see from the terrace. Richard helped us plan and book excursions and follow on hotels and transport. Nothing was too much trouble.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Sehr originelles( Architektur), ruhig gelegen. - Der Patron war sehr hilfsbereit, viele Tipps für Ausflüge gegeben.
- Mike (10/5): Great choice for remote pueblo - excellent choice in a remote and off-the beaten-track town. Hotel staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Hotel restaurant most likely the best choice for food within miles.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly knowledgable considerate staff and owner. Breakfast was delicious. The layout was unique and the atmosphere was artistic. You have a beautiful view of the lake. A nice spot to relax or go see ceramics and textiles being crafted.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Where the sunsets take your breath away - We stayed in this charming hotel for two nights. The owners, Mr. Richard and his wife were very welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. It was unusually chilly while we were there but we were able to use the chimney in our room. We stayed in the Queen's suite which had a balcony with an amazing view of the lake. We loved our stay at Hotel Nuestro Sueño and we can't wait to come back to visit.
- C (8/5): Buena vista social club - El hotel se encuentra ubicado frente al lago y la vista desde todos lados es maravillosa. El diseño hace que los huéspedes coincidan entre sí y con los dueños en un ambiente agradable de camaradería. El traslado de ahí a Panajachel o a otros pueblos sale más caro... Eso hay que tenerlo en cuenta
- Thelma (4/5): Not recommended - The hotel is in front of the lake and the view of it is beautiful. The surroundings are ok but not much to do. Rather stay in panajachel. When I return to hotel on Saturday night at 11 pm I could not enter because the american guy who was supposed to open the door for me fell asleep and so imagine the tradegy of not been able to access. Complete disaster.
- Emma (8/5): - Nice getaway from the busy Panajachel but easy enough to still visit other towns around the lake.
- Sebastian (10/5): Excelente! - Excelente servicio, tranquilidad, seguridad, vista, cayac, sauda, piscina, sala de juegos, jacuzzi y todo lo que te imagines en un estilo rustico a un precio economico y con una amabilidad inigualable, recomendadisimo, ningun inconveniente.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location for relaxation - Our stay was great, the staff were friendly and extremely helpful in suggestive ways to really get the most out of our stay- what we should check out in regards to what the area was renowned for.
- Unsatisfied (4/5): Ok hotel. weird setup - the hotel seems to be nice but it actually quite odd in how they go about serving their clients. their restaurant was ok, not great. relatively expensive. you would have to get up and tell them you wanted to have food (they wouldn't automatically notice you) and even then, service was slow. they were also out of a few ingredients (for example, no avocados for guacamole). the weirdest was when we ordered breakfast that was written to come with a side of fried plantains but then once we got our meals, there were no plantains and we were told that the restaurant didn't have any, and then we were charged full price for the meal that was less than advertised. the shower is the room smells moldy which makes sense as their is wood framing in the shower. the shampoo/conditonner/soap provided is in two different small unlabelled bottles that it looks like they refill so you dont really know what you are using. i think i deducted that we were only given body soap and body lotion. it's also odd that you have to ask 2 hours ahead of time for them to start the jacuzzi, and at least half an hour for the sauna. just a weird setup. not many things to do in the surrounding town.
- Celina (10/5): Awesome and unique stay! - I read reviews prior to booking this hotel and went with the high recommendations. What a wonderful place to stay! The owners went all out to take care of us and Richard made it a point to make sure we had an unforgettable stay. The tree room was available and he upgraded us. My friends and I had a stunning view of Lake Atitlan from our room. It is a little out of the way, but it was worth it. I highly recommend a stop and stay at this wonderful and unique place. You won't find anything like elsewhere!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to enjoy & relax - The hotel is situated right on the lake with stunning views. It's unique architecture and amenities are delightful. The various room options offer something for everyone. I highly recommend the king suite which has floor to ceiling Windows and a jacuzzi tub with views of the lake. The staff is wonderful and the restaurant is delicious with unique offerings.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Fabulous helpful staff...awesome room! - Wonderful welcoming staff. We were so well taken care of... Great suggestions for travel ideas and economy in transportation. We felt ALL of our needs were put at the top of the list!!!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice quiet hotel close to the lake. - Quiet and pleasant. Nice getaway away from the hustle and bustle of Pana.
- shelagh46 (10/5): Breathe Deep and Relax! - Unique facility with great views of the lake in a small town built up a hillside. Because they haven't been inundated with tourists yet, the locals go about their daily lives and rituals. The owners are very friendly and the relationship they have with the staff makes you feel like you are staying as a guest in their home. The cook is very talented and serves up lots of flavor! Wish I had stayed a lot longer!
- Nicole (10/5): Great hotel, beautiful city, amazing people - This hotel is owned by an American called Richard. He renovated and expanded the hotel using the mountain and nature as an influence so it's very interestlying designed (think lots of stone, fireplaces and a treehouse). The hotel has amazing views of the lake, great food, and very nice staff. I would have loved to stay an additional night and will definilty be going back. The area is a bit of a drive from Pana but once you see Pana you will be happy to be a bit away. San Antonio Palopo is a great place to stay and it's easy to get to Pana via tuk tuk or pick-up truck - but with all the dust and business you'll be happy to get back to this hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): A great hotel situated right on the lake - The hotel staff are extremely friendly and will do anything possible to make your stay more pleasurable. The owner, Richard, enjoys spending time conversing with the guests and is extremely knowledgeable about Guatemalan culture.
