Reviews of Villa Santa Catarina 3 stars

Beautiful property, close to lake

Room did not have a view, not close to Pana boat docks

Very beautiful view and great relaxing areas, nice both for both couples and families.

Location, 2 swimmingpools, clean rooms, view on the lake, reception ladies take good care of all your questions.

Few things I would change: - inflexibility wrt checking in earlier than 15h, even though rooms are ready. - they offer you to make use of all facilities before 15h, but when my daughter asked for a towel after having used the swimmingpool, they charge you for that. Its such a small thing that doesnt cost anything for the hotel, but leaves bad taste in the mouth of the hotelguest. - vibe in restaurant was not good. One young guy was really great, but older man (manager?) was moody all the time and it felt like he and and female colleague were laughing about the guests a few times. When you have diner in Kinnix, a different restaurant closeby, you immediately notice a big difference in hospitality and a good and bad vibe in a restaurant.

Needs AC

Excellent breakfast and beautiful location near the docks of Santa Catarina. Geothermal pool was relaxing after a day of hiking

The view of the lake and mountain, the hot springs pool.

No AC or fan in the rooms.

Very poor breakfast!

The view from the property is lovely, and the landscaping and pools are nice. One pool is heated and the other is not, so it was nice to be able to get into warm water. The included breakfast was good, and we ate dinner at the restaurant one night which was also good. We were glad that we stayed in Santa Catarina which is quieter and more authentic than some of the other lake towns that cater more towards backpackers and tourist, but that meant that there weren't many options for food nearby or things to do at night. We ate dinner in Panajachel and then took a cheap ,15 minute tuk tuk ride back to Santa Catarina at night.

It would have been nice to have a fan in the room as it was very hot during our stay. The only ventilation was having the patio door wide open which is not secure and it was loud at night.

All great! Lovely place

There was no blackout curtains in the room, and the double room had 2 beds (almost individual) instead of a double one.

Great location, amazing views of the lake and volcanoes, no noise at night, comfortable rooms, the pool was great, specially the hot spring water one. Friendly staff

Can't think of anything

Loved the installation, the rooms, the restaurant, etc

The room felt really cold at night. Would've loved to have some blankets at hand.

The hotel felt quite authentic with lots of locals on the staff. Enjoyed the Guatemalan breakfast but they do have different options. Lovely pool and just steps away from the artisanal market. A little hike away guests can find great viewpoints of the Atitlan lake and the surrounding mountains.

Definitely easier to make oneself understood in Spanish than in English. A little bit hard to access, either with a tuk-tuk from Panajachel or a private boat, public boats do not go to Santa Catarina Palopo.
