Hotel Del Patio

Zone 1, mainland side of the causeway

Hotel Del Patio

The budget pick: a colonial-style hotel with a courtyard garden and an outdoor pool, a few minutes from the causeway, the lake and Maya Mall. A good-value base with well-reviewed rooms.

★★★★★

Hotel Del Patio stands at 8a Avenida and 2a Calle in zone 1, on the mainland side of the Flores causeway. The colonial-style building wraps around a central garden patio, and the outdoor pool is open until late evening. Rooms are simple with air conditioning and ceiling fans, and the restaurant and room service cover meals. Guests rate it 8.6 out of 10 across 400 reviews, praising cleanliness, staff and value, with location the lowest-scoring category.

Location and getting around

The lake, the central park and Maya Mall are each about a three-minute walk, and the airport is a five-minute drive. The island of Flores is a walk away over the causeway, though the dock is about 16 minutes on foot, so you may want a tuk-tuk after dark. The front desk helps arrange Tikal tours, which many guests mention as a plus. The area is described as an entertainment district near the airport, so expect more activity than on the island.

Rooms and facilities

The standard room is about 215 square feet with a garden view, sleeps up to four and has air conditioning, a TV and a private bathroom with a shower and bidet. Facilities include an outdoor pool with loungers, a terrace, a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk, laundry and tour and ticket assistance. WiFi is free in the rooms.

Good to know

Guests like the clean rooms, comfortable beds, helpful staff and courtyard, and one praised the breakfast, but breakfast is not listed as an amenity. Some find the area ordinary compared with the island, and one guest reported a short air-conditioning outage. Rooms are on the small side.

Parking is listed as unavailable, though one guest mentioned a free space across the street. Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is at 1 pm. Pets are not allowed. It suits budget travellers, solo visitors and anyone who wants a pool and a courtyard for a modest price.
