Beautiful hotel in the mountain

Pictures don’t do it justice. Situated in the side of the mountain, lots of steps so if you have mobility issues I would not recommend. Seating areas throughout the hotel which was great for us to catch the lightening storm. I wound up sick and wish I had felt better to do more exploring. Love that there is a path from the hotel to walk to Santa Cruz and jaibalitos. If you’re planning on any water activities morning is the best time.

We loved the hike from the p property to Santa Cruz. also the steam room.

This hotel is an experience. If we come back to Atitlan, we will stay here again. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is limited food as everything is a boat ride away, but the food they served was good. We stayed over Thanksgiving and had their Thanksgiving dinner, which was fantastic. The hotel is quiet and secluded, but it is also easy to grab a boat to Pana or one of the other parts of the lake.

We loved Casa Del Mundo but wouldn’t recommend to stay there. Would have rather we did a day trip. At the time of booking I just booked whatever was available, and it turns out we booked an “Economy basic” room by accident which was an extremely small room and forced to use a shared bathroom. I wish this was made more obvious to us before arrival as we were very disappointed. Overall the property is very beautiful but the shared bathroom detracted from our stay and we were tired of the limited menu from the restaurant by day 2. Still love the hotel regardless!
Melissa, 2-night trip

The hotel is beautiful and the staff were more than amazing. The only thing we didn’t like how you still have to pay for every single amenity. The food was really good but also super super pricey.
Keyla, 2-night trip

Beautiful hotel but food service takes to long, you can not pay with credit card only cash and only quetzales.

Beautiful property

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!

Beautiful hotel but pricy

Casa del mundo is very picture perfect but it didn't feel as authentic as some of the other places we visited. The food was average and quite pricy. We booked massage that wasn't very good, after quite a few attempts we managed to get a bit off money back at least. The jacuzzi was lovely. For unknown reason the paddle boards were broken,but we weren't told why and when we could use them. There is A LOT of stairs, so if you have issues with that it's not the best place for you.
Hanna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

6/10 Good

Muy bello el lugar, en general bien, pero tiene sus detalles que hacen de la experiencia menos agradable, muchas escaleras, no me gustó que aunque pueden hacer cobros con tarjeta solo aceptan efectivo lo cual se vuelve un problema, la comida está bien, pero recomiendo ir a otro lado, precios elevados y un menú pequeño.

10/10 Exceptional

This property was beautiful. The location was ideal and so easy to visit the little towns around the lake by public boat. You could make it anywhere around the laje in under 10 minutes. The staff was amazing, food was great, the views were stunning. Everything had so much character. We had the best time and we'd love to go back.
Anisa, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The setting and ambiance is unmatched. Unbelievably beautiful, super friendly people and good vibes all around. Stairs are a fun challenge. Views are unreal. Above and beyond service. Some notes- food not great and expensive. I recommend eating out as much as possible. I wish there were a Whatsapp number I could ask small questions. The economy rooms are great but should be noted that the website says they get a private patio/balcony and that is not true. It does have a beautiful window facing the lake tho. And there are plenty of common areas with amazing views. Overall, incredibly amazing experience. Stay a while and really soak it in.

Casa Del Mundo is very beautiful and clean. The staff and the manager are very nice and works efficiently with passion. We enjoyed our stay a lot. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for nature, relaxation and great service. It was worth it!

10/10 Exceptional

The most beautiful place! The landscaping is absolutely stunning and there are so many little private nooks to relax. The food is a bit bland and overpriced, we walked to Jaibalito for better ans cheaper food.
Megan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is hotel is more breathtaking than the pictures show. The views from the rooms and common spaces are beautiful. Everything is designed in a way that makes you feel like you're connected to nature and the local culture. Every meal we had was exceptional and we enjoyed plenty of beer and wine and cocktails! I had more pina coladas than ever before! We had a small single room with a private bathroom and it was great for us (two young femmes). If you are a bigger person, I'd recommend a room with a queen bed and more space to maneuver. The staff were kind and let me practice my Spanish. Some staff only speak basic English so be patient and brush up on your intro Spanish. Things I wish I knew/planned for ahead of time: there are steep stairs! Every trip to the restaurant, bathroom, or our room meant climbing dozens of steep steps. There is no room or lakeside service, so you have to go retrieve drinks and food yourself. Be ready to use your legs! The rooms don't have fans. On muggy days it can get humid and warm in the rooms. Bring a small fan or travel when it's windy or cloudy to avoid being really hot. The wifi can be weak at times, so buy an esim with double the data. I am so glad we went and will remember this stay for the rest of my life!
