Just as we thought it couldn’t get any better, we woke up to the most stunning views. The property is gorgeous and was spotless!!! Our trip would not have been as spectacular if it weren’t for the host, Julio, and the groundskeeper, Alfonso. For kayaking, jet skis, massages, and restaurants, the host was able to provide some amazing recommendations and was readily available to answer any questions. Alfonso was very kind and constantly maintaining the property. Overall, this is the best experience I’ve had!!! ##### Francesca O. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie Q. 30 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Santa Catarina Palopó My husband and I spent 5 days in one of this apartments, and oh what a beautiful place this is. This are some of the things I think a guest can find helpful: This units are new, there's no dust, no noise no clutter. Our apartment had everything we needed for our stay and more. Views are amazing, during the day you can enjoy the view of Lago Atitlan, during the night the shimmering lights of a couple of towns at the other side of the lake. We took advantage of the gate at the lower point of the property and went for walks at the edge of the lake. By the way if you follow the path to the right of the property, you'll find the hot water springs on the side of the mountain. To the left of the property you can find a pier and plenty of boats that can take you to the other towns. Had dinner in different restaurants of the area and Also went to the little market at a walking distance from Casa Verapaz. We enjoyed almost everything this property has to offer except the pool. Not because it wasn't ready but because it rained a lot during the days we stayed there. So far one of the best properties we've visited in Guatemala. ##### Leslie Q. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanette 29 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication If you are planning a trip to Lake Atlan, this is the spot! It is a two minute walk to the Hot Springs The apartment is impeccable very clean very modern with an amazing view. If you’re looking to relax that tub in the master bedroom is divine. Julio and Alfonso were extremely warm and welcoming. They have a grill that you can use a pool that depending on other properties being rented you have it all to yourself. Don’t look any further. This is the place to stay at. And Jacuzzi to come with thermal waters. ##### Jeanette Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [McKays Hotel Bar & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-McKays-Hotel-Bar-Restaurant.h18909632.Hotel-Information) > > [Hook House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Hook-House-Hotel.h17066529.Hotel-Information) > > [Weald of Kent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Weald-Of-Kent.h4613776.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in The City of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-City-Of-London-London-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-n800056-0-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Sing Sing Prison Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sing-Sing-Prison-Museum-Hotels.0-l553248621561873062-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Corinthia Budapest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Corinthia-Budapest.h1097758.Hotel-Information) > > [The Railway Hotel Worthing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Grand-Victorian-Hotel-Worthing.h2185177.Hotel-Information) > > [The One Barcelona GL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-The-One-Barcelona-GL.h17419354.Hotel-Information) > > [Cuckooz Hoxton Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Cuckooz-Hoxton-Apartments.h17184227.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kos-Hotels-Atlantis-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h922549.Hotel-Information) > > [H10 Roma Città](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-H10-Roma-Citta.h2218755.Hotel-Information) > > [The Raven Hotel - Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corby-Hotels-The-Raven-Hotel-Inn.h2251116.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceana Resort & Conventions - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-San-Jose-Hotels-Oceana-Resort-Conventions.h45740165.Hotel-Information) > > [Hanay Suit Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Hanay-Suit-Hotel.h15755653.Hotel-Information) > > [2 The Courtyard 4 Star Vineyard Gite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puisseguin-Hotels-AS-Seen-ON-Channel-4-A-NEW-Life-IN-THE-SUN.h35165606.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Club Cala Barca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santanyi-Hotels-Iberostar-Waves-Club-Cala-Barca.h1896602.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Airport Transfers in Málaga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Hotels-Hotel-With-Airport-Transfers.0-0-d312-thotelwithairporttransfers.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Entebbe (EBB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/ebb/dublin-to-entebbe) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/ylw/manchester-to-kelowna) ### Cars > [Car hire in Hamilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-John-C-Munro-Hamilton-Intl.d6033522.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Liverpool Cricket Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Cricket-Club-Aigburth.d553248621532491147.Attraction) > > [Sir Bani Yas Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sir-Bani-Yas-Island.d6085382.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Torviscas Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torviscas-Beach-Costa-Adeje.d6139055.Attraction) > > [Strathmore Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Strathmore.d177762.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [National Museum of Qatar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Museum-Of-Qatar-As-Salatah.d6116608.Attraction)
