Situated right on the shores of lake Atitlan In Guatemala, is a boutique resort with unforgettable views and amenities. Our family took advantage of the hiking on their safe private nature reserve, took a dip in the handmade stone hot tub with Mayan jungle ambiance, and laid out by the pool overlooking the lake.

All that being said, I haven’t even talked about the most extraordinary part! This little slice of paradise is a sustainable eco-lodge!

The Laguna Lodge is on the lakeshore of the legendary Lake Atitlan and exclusively nestled in its own nature reserve. Entry into this Mayan world begins by boat. In a privileged setting our luxuriously natural 5 star boutique hotel commands sweeping views over azure waters to a trio of dramatic volcanoes. Inspired by nature and created from volcanic stone, adobe and palm our spacious lakeside suites are individually appointed with comfortable hand hewn king beds, fine linens, intricate woven textiles and indigenous antiques.

First and most importantly, Laguna is a an eco lodge that prioritizes sustainability over profit 100% of the time. If you value our planet, seeking out locations that practice sustainable hospitality should be important to you. Sustainable travel is the ONLY way to go moving forward – our planet depends on it. Laguna uses solar energy to power their hotel, serves a vegetarian menu (evidence shows that a plant based diet drastically decreases our carbon footprint), and has locally sourced every item in their hotel!

Their eggs are from the village near by, their produce is grown locally, the bed runners were woven by local Mayan women, their staff (who is more like family) are all local and have been a part of their team for decades. Every little detail has been thought of and it is all part of their sustainable design.

🌅 The views. San Pedro volcano towers in the distance along with Atitlan and Toliman. We had coffee every morningoverlookingg the lake, and sat on our deck to soak in the sunset every evening. I never once tired of the jaw dropping views.

🥾 The hiking. Laguna lodge is home to its very own nature preserve. A network of safe hiking trails are accessible right from the lodge. We enjoyed hiking up over the ridge, and lounging in the hammocks they have set up. Additionally, you can arrange a guided hike up the volcanoes or several other hikes right from the front desk.

🚣 The water activities. Kayaking or paddle boarding this lake is an incredible experience. The water is calmest in the mornings, and the quiet that covers the lake is therapeutic.

💫The amenities. After a day of hiking nothing feels better than a dip in their gorgeous infinity pool, followed by a soak in the river rock hot tub.

Laguna Lodge was one of our very favorite locations – I know you will just love it too.

The lodge is made from adobe in a hacienda style and furnished with a unique eco-lux ambience. The restaurant was extraordinary and the menus varied and to top it off were served by lovely Glenda and Francisco. Our suite the quetzal was spacious and immaculately presented with views directly over the water to the volcanos, magical sunsets included! We will be back and recommending this special place to our friends and fam, 5 star service from a 5 star eco-lodge.

The property is amazing! The nature preserve was very hikeable and private- there are several short trail options that branch off the main loop, some do need a little maintenance and clearing. We hiked up top for sunrise and it was well marked with viewing platform and hammocks that look toward Panajachel, Santiago and towns and volcanos in between. Room, service, and amenities were wonderful. Hot tub costs extra to use but being an eco-lodge they do not just leave the tub running and hot all the time which makes sense!

The pool, lounge chairs, deck and dock look out over the lake and are spacious, comfortable and perfect for hanging out or watching the sunset.

Hotelito Perdido is a boutique jungle eco lodge situated in the heart of the Rio Dulce National Park, tucked away on one of the small freshwater tributaries that feed the Rio Dulce. Although it feels like a million miles from anywhere, being just off the popular tourist route between Livingston and the town of Rio Dulce means that the hotel is easily accessible by boat. Both Lonely Planet and Rough Guide currently list the hotel as one of their ‘recommended destinations’ in the region. The hot springs, the manatee reserve and some beautiful waterfalls are within kayaking distance of the hotel. We rent kayaks and wooden cayucos, we organize various tours (to Livingston, Tiger’s Cave, Mayan Q’eqchi village, Manatee Reserve etc.). We offer drinks, homemade food, we make our own bread and we eat our evening meal together, family style.

The Rio Dulce region is absolutely the most stunning area of the entire country. It is a pain in the butt to get to but so worth the effort. Hotelito Perdido is amazing and somehow manages to be this Eco friendly, organic/rustic looking lodge on the river, but at the same time is so comfortable and clean and beautiful. The huts are cute, the grounds gorgeous, staff are all so friendly and wonderful, and it is the most peaceful and relaxing place you will find. There is a yoga hut and hammocks. A dock to swim off of. You must come stay here, but there are a few things to know.
1) it is an effort (and not cheap) to get here. Check with Hotelito and the accommodations you plan to come from about transportation options to and from the river before cementing your itinerary. You need to connect with the boats from Rio Dulce town that go down the river toward Livingston. The boat only goes at 9am and 2:30pm- that is it and it costs 125Q. If you can’t get the last boat at 14:30 and need a private boat it is 500Q ( this is expensive and not just in Guatemalan terms). From experience, if you are coming from Copan, there are no morning shuttles so you can’t make the 14:30 boat in time. You have to take varies modes of local transport and leave very early. Best to sort out you options in advance, might be easier to come from Antigua/ Guatemala City. Also seems easier coming from Punta Gourda in Belize. Also first boat doesn’t get you back to Rio Dulce until 11am when you leave the lodge.
2) All food at the Hotelito is brought in by boat, so understandably they have a limited menu, and while the food isn’t expensive it is more than we paid in the average town.

The food is fresh and good, but I found the portions small. I know they don’t love people bring much food but I would recommend bringing some reinforcements. You can’t have food in the rooms due to critters but it is kept in a secure container you can access whenever needed

3)Spend the extra money for a private bungalow. Trust me. The shared bathroom rooms are fine and the bathroom is super clean, but the rooms are in a duplex style hut.

This means all that separates you and your neighbor is a thin wooden wall. You can literally hear your neighbours breath. Zero privacy, so unless you are coming in a big group to use both rooms, or you are use to doing the dorm room thing, get a bungalow instead.

3) Not going to be the cheapest part of your trip, the boat costs add up but it is worth budgeting for, for sure. Loved it here.
