Location and getting around
The lake is a minute away, Las Guacamayas Biological Station is about two minutes on foot, the Church of Our Lady of the Remedies about four minutes and the dock five. Restaurants and bars are within a few minutes in every direction. The airport is about an 11-minute drive, and the hotel offers a shuttle on request for a fee. The front desk can help with tours and tickets, which makes it easy to arrange Tikal without leaving the building.
Rooms and facilities
Room types include twin, double, triple and single rooms of about 172 square feet, with the lake-view rooms the best choice. Rooms come with free WiFi, a refrigerator, a safe, blackout drapes and a hair dryer. The 24-hour front desk, laundry, luggage storage and room service round out the services.

Good to know
Guests love the lake views and the staff, but some mention street noise, patchy WiFi, occasional hot-water problems and a slippery shower. Breakfast is not served, though coffee and rolls are sometimes available, and there is no on-site parking, so drivers must look for street spaces. Check-in is from 3 pm to 10 pm, and check-out is before noon. Pets are not allowed, and rollaway beds and cribs are not available. It suits first-time visitors, couples and anyone who values walking distance to the lakeside.
