Hotels in Zunil

"I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars. The location is beautiful. Breathtaking views. I prefer a more laid back and quiet vibe. Kula Maya and the town of San Marcos provided that. But when my group and I wanted to have more of an outing, San Pedro was a short ferry ride away. It felt so remote and convenient all at the same time. On top of that, one of the members in our group suffered from appendicitis in the middle of the night on our first night's stay here. We were so scared and the night security guard went out of his way to find us a tuk tuk driver to drive us to the hospital in San Pedro. Following the initial emergency, all the staff at Kula Maya were so attentive to our needs. They were ready to arrange transport for us at a moments notice. I cannot say enough positive things about Kula Maya. Just book your stay here, I promise you won't regret it. It was better than anything we could have imagined. Thank you for a memorable stay Kula Maya! We love you!"

"Excellent stay. Excellent restaurants close by. Excellent views of Lake Atitla... Dec 2025 • Family Great location. Minutes to lake front. They have swings and hammocks close to the lake. The hammocks were extremely comfortable and one can sleep soundly to the sound of wind and wave. There are excellent views of the massive lake Atitlan from choice locations scattered across the property or directly from your room that has large picture windows. There are outstanding restaurants providing all varieties of cuisines and we easily found vegetarian and vegan options. The town and street side shops are available within a few minutes. Five minutes walk will take you to a transcendental beach from which mountains, mists, clouds merging with peaks and fresh air rejuvenate you. There are local laundries that provide pick up and drop off service and fold clothes. So far we didn't find scorpions as noted by a guest The staff and the hotel owner were quite helpful and held our bags while our room was getting ready. I didn't experience the rudeness as described by an experienced guest in reviews. There is a coffee roaster shop and cafe serving exceptional Guatemalan coffee within two blocks of the hotel. Highly recommended. You will get a room facing the lake and sleep to the sounds of wind and wave."

"The room and staff was great, location was not ideal "

"Room was clean and modern. Breakfast was delicious. Beautiful view of the lake. I feel the state of the pool and bridge over the pool should be updated. I thought it was a larger property than it was. Loud music playing by the pool and heard in the rooms until after midnight. "

"The Hotel is great and super quiet, except to enjoy the vegetation around."

"All buffet food is plentiful and fresh, the staff very kind and attentive. Beds were comfie, dinner on Christmas Day was also very good. All your staff made this guera feel very welcome. Mil gracias!"

"Art and coffee is truly a beautiful and stunning place. Unlike any other place, I have found on this earth. The staff are warm and welcome and inviting, fellow travelers are warm and respectful, and the whole town of Jaibailito is out of a dream. Which makes art and coffee fit so well."

"Muy buen hotel hermosa vista lo único que siempre mas de algo no functions sauna humedo en esta occasion "

"This hostel is a great choice in Santa Cruz. It's right in front of the dock so no rolling your suitcase over rocky paths. It's also a 4 minute walk to the party hostel Free Cerveza if you want to get that energy and use their dock, and a 10 minute walk to nice kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. I stayed in a Private the whole time. The first was Balto and the second was Toliman. Toliman was gorgeous and had a lake view - would be great for a couple. I think I preferred Balto because at night it was cozier and quieter. Family dinner is wonderful at this hostel and such a core part of the experience. I participated every night and loved it. The food was great and the company was amazing. There are also different activities each night and the Open Mic Night is a blast. People from all over the town come for it. The highlight was Sam who was our hiking guide for the sunrise hike. The hike itself was gorgeous; on top of that Sam was really an expert not just with knowledge of the area but also with ensuring our safety and enjoyment. It's technically a short and easyish hike but I have chronic pain and limitations. Sam ensured that I was doing okay, had me hike at the front of the pack to help control the pace, and even gave me cookies because the sugar helps your body. We also learned so many interesting things about the volcanos, the lake and the local Mayan culture."
