Top Santiago Atitlán Hotel Reviews

Perla Maya Hotel

Perla Maya Hotel

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed our stay at Perla Maya. The whole hotel is unbelievably beautiful. All of the staff are brilliant and so accommodating. The bedding is clean and the beds super comfortable. There is always hot water, the water pressure is poor though this is quite normal across Guatemala. The included breakfast is delicious. The floor felt like it could do with a mop as it was quite dusty but this was the only downside. Honourable mention to Jose for being there for all of our needs and questions with such patience and for carrying our heavy suitcases up the stairs! Thank you for an amazing stay"
