Its a beautiful stay perched on top of hill. The views were spectacular. The staff were very friendly. Diego helped carry all the heavy luggage all the way to our room which was very nice.Food at restaurant was good.The only gripe was that the place had a power outage during our stay and we literally had no power all night. I understand things happen but would be nice to have generators to bring the power back right away for added convenience. I definitely would recommened this hotel for its spectacular views . Dont forgot to get your mosquito repelllent power bank .

Staying at Casa del Mundo was a unique and memorable experience. The hotel has its own stop so transportation on the lanchas is convenient. It’s located a few stops away from other towns on the lake, and as it’s more secluded that other hotels, it’s relaxing and quiet. During the day you can visit other towns and experience nature, great food, and culture, then come back in the evening to decompress.

Highly recommend, but only if you’re fit and able
What an amazing hotel. It looks extraordinary from the lake, and the views from the hotel are incredible. We booked a suite with en suite and private balcony. It’s right at the top so many many many steps, but it was worth it. You need to fit and able to climb stairs to stay here, regardless of which room you have. We stayed 2 nights and got one clear day and one cloudy. If you get a clear day take advantage. Take photos, hire kayaks, swim. Our second day was cloudier. We walked for 5 mins along the lakeside dirt track to a bar called Indigo for more spectacular views and great food. Note that they added a 10% service charge on everything which is fine, but a bit off that they also added 10% to the room charge which was a bit naughty. But overall I’d highly recommend this place. You’ll never forget it.

One of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever stayed at. I love how eco friendly it was and the plant identification cards all over. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and swimming in the lake was so refreshing. I had such a lovely stay here and I will surely be back again!

Magical place, a must go to on the Lake ♡
First of all, the property itself is gorgeous! Pictures don't do it justice... a wonderful place to come for at least 2 days...pure Magic! I want to specifically mention Jared Ramos, he stood out amongst the rest of the staff and lit up the restaurant with his bright smile and wonderful hospitality. The economy room (I stayed in 9) was stuffy rustic and never cooled off enough for me to sleep comfortably, I should have booked an upgraded room with a private bathroom. Food & drink were great with large servings; the best cacao I've ever had. Don't order the burger, there are much better options such as the eggplant parmesan, breakfast burrito (enormous), etc. There are purified water stations. You can pay 50Q to spend the day here without staying overnight. There is an extra fee to book the hot tub. Lake water is swimmable and clear on this part of the lake, although I wish they had a pool. Loved the hammocks. I would come back in a heartbeat! You need to beware that you need to be able to climb hundreds of stairs to have this amazing experience.

Three star rating because there were more cons than pros. Pros: the lake views, the relaxation and unwinding, lake access. Cons: Location - almost “private”, away from main town (you can walk to two towns from the location), pretty much stuck there after a certain hour if you don’t want to pay extra for a private boat to go to another town or to get back Room: Tiny, cluttered, no TV, no AC, lighting was horrible (on the plus side; no scorpions or spiders in my room during my stay) Not handicap accessible. Steep stairs. I didn’t mind but beware because those stairs are the only way up and down. Food: if stuck in the hotel, they offer food but it is not the best. Not even average. Got food poisoning my last night there from my last meal there. Had the sesame fish sticks with salad and rice. I wouldn’t stay here again for all those cons. But I would however pay for a DAY PASS (50 quetzales) to enjoy the views and relaxation spots all over the hotel for the day.

Beautiful hotel but terrible room.
I would love to give this place 5 stars, it is objectively an extremely beautiful location, however the room that we were shown was quite honestly shockingly bad. We booked a standard room that does not have an en suite. The room they showed us backed directly onto the restaurant (with a shared window that had to remain curtained at all times), the only bathrooms being through the restaurant and two flights of stairs away. I can’t imagine anyone who would be happy with this arrangement, having to scooch past people having their breakfast to use the bathroom first thing in the morning. We asked if there were any other rooms and it seemed as though they were expecting this complaint. The staff here are lovely but whoever designed this room was not thinking of the guests. So I would stay again, but I would call beforehand to ensure I was not in room 5. I am not sure whether any of the other rooms are equally poorly designed.
