I’ve stayed in 5 star accommodation hotels across the US, Europe, Asia and South America. I’ve enjoyed Vrbo’s in North, Central and South America. With that said, Chateau Maldonado is in the top three places I’ve stayed ever for three reasons. One- the area and the view. The home sits on a picturesque location that looks like it could be the set of a romance movie. Perched on a cliff above Lake Atitlan (the worlds most beautiful lake) and with surrounding views of the local villages and majestic volcanoes and mountains, the view from this home would be hard to beat anywhere in the world. Whether you are sitting on the patio enjoying your perfectly prepared breakfast (I’ll get to that next) or sitting by the fire on the black sand at night, you could literally just stay and enjoy the view for days. Be sure to visit the local villages though as they are wonderful. I highly recommend San Juan. Carlos (caretaker) will arrange a private boat for you to and from any of the villages. The boats are safe and highly reliable. Reason Two- the staff! Carlos is your caretaker along with Roberto the gardener (yes a full time gardener looks after the home as is apparent when you see the landscaping from perfectly manicured lawns to hedges trimmed in the shape of various animals (my wife took tons of pics of this alone lol). Carlos looks after anything you need like arranging boats, grocery runs and building a nightly campfire. He is terrifically attentive when needed and disappears into the background when not. A quick text via WhatsApp and he appears to do anything you require. The ladies, these two are Amazing! Merilena and Concepcion attended to our culinary and housekeeping needs daily. When we checked in we have them some local cash (not much, so I thought, about $250) and they arranged to have groceries purchased. Every day we had breakfast served on the patio overlooking the lake, every night we returned there was a delicious dinner waiting. On our second night they had prepared Pepiàn De Pollo ( a local favorite) that was the BEST meal of our whole trip. Keep in mind we ate at several 5 star restaurants in Antigua during this vacation as well! When the stay ended I was amazed that they returned half the money I gave them with a detailed receipt of monies spent! These 4 made the stay in my opinion. Lastly,Mr. Maldonado.From the first contact to the last, perfecto! ##### Troy H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin D. 5 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best stay ever! Absolutely the best HomeAway property we have ever stayed at! From the communication leading up to our stay, to arranging for private boat transportation during our stay, and many other details, David went out of his way to make our stay the best possible stay! He was very patient with all of our questions and helped us plan our trip! The property and house are extremely clean and beautiful! The sights and views from the house are stunning and pictures cannot do it justice! Our family of 8 was very comfortable and we enjoyed every aspect of our stay including the home made fresh tortillas, bonfire, outdoor lounging and coffee. When we were unable to find decent groceries on our way to the house, Carlos, the watchman for the house, escorted me and my wife into town via Tuc Tuc so that we could shop for groceries and supplies for our group during our stay. Anything we needed or requested was arranged for. We cannot stress how accommodating and how clean and how fun our stay was. Every bedroom and every room has a breathtaking view. We will definitely stay here during our next trip! My father is already itching to go back and rent the house for next time! ##### Kevin D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Homero X. 15 Mar 2018 #### The place was immaculate and the experience relaxing The staff, was excellent from keeping the place clean to starting fires at night and teaching the kids how to make tortillas. The property itself was well taken care of with everything we needed. It was a vacation within our vacation. The nicest place I’ve stayed at and highly recommended. ##### Homero X. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 9 Nov 2015 #### Paradisiac getaway The views are amazing! Even at night its gorgeous! The air, the silence, the beauty.. its all breathtaking. This home is so well thought out and comfortable, you can tell it was made with love! The closest town is San Lucas Toliman, probably 20 or 25 minutes away by car or you can also take a boat to other parts of the lake. It doesn't matter where you go explore, it's so good to come back to the luxury and comfort of this home. The property manager gives top service and his staff is very attentive and lovely. Looking forward to returning again for a well deserved rest and relaxation getaway... Xana ---
