8/10 Very good

Loved my stay here, comfortable and clean. I did get sick when I ate at the restaurant both times. Also the guy at the front desk that spoke English as well was rude. Whenever he would be assisting me, he would be helping others at the same time. Whenever I came to the front desk and he was helping someone else he didn’t even speak to me. When I checked out, he didn’t even say thank you or anything. At the price you pay for this hotel you expect the customer service to be on point. Besides him, it was a good stay.

Casa Palopo is heaven on earth. Every part of the hotel is thoughtfully decorated and stunning- with the kind of originality one can only find in an independent boutique hotel. Refreshing pools surrounded by curated cactus gardens, backed by the mountainous jungle and overlooking the teal Lake Atitlan. Kayaks and paddle boards are provided to make the most of the lake. The restaurant serves incredible cocktails and cuisine. The team is friendly, fun and very attentive. Little touches make the stay pure magic- a selection of wellness drinks to start your day and a unique gift in the room each nigh.

Absolutely love Casa Palopo and so glad we decided to stay here during our trip to Lake Atitlan!! The views are amazing and the service and kindness the staff showed us was outstanding. They staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We had NO issues with communication or hot water in our rooms. So I'm really surprised by the other reviews left. The restaurant in the hotel was lovely and they were happy to accommodate to my food allergies with no problems!!! We found the location we'll worth the views of the lake and Volcanos. And easy walk to Satana Catarina, a beautiful local village. Easy Tuk tuk transport to get to Panajachel for more restaurants, shopping and transport by boat to other towns across the lake. I highly recommend this boutique hotel!!

1. Declined in service. Old and wasted robes and towels. Relation price - service is not at all good. Sooooo expensive for what you are getting. Food is average but really expensive, not worth it.
Jose, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid Casa Palopo: Guatemala is/was going through a political unrest situation with protesters blocking the roads. The US embassy advised anyone to stay clear or the road blocks/areas which also pertained to the roads to Late Atitlan. We found out the day we got to Antigua about the unrest and that the roads to Lake Atitlan are closed. Having booked for the day after we got to Antigua, we contacted the hotel and after several hours they said that we won’t get there unless we take a helicopter which was out of the question (financially and safety wise). We talked to several people in Antigua and most of them were going to visit Lake Atitlan as well. ALL of them got refunded due to the circumstances, however Casa Palopo did not. They charged us the hotel room for 2 nights with no explanation. (We did book through Expedia and they contacted the hotel every day for 8 days and the hotel refused to give us the refund, although Expedia mentioned several times that considering the circumstances it should be not issue to cancel the reservation and get the refund). Obviously money is way more important for them than the safety of their guest. I highly suggest to stay clear of this hotel as unknown circumstances may arise and the hotel WILL NOT work with you not matter what. We spent several hours on the phone with Expedia and emailing Casa Palopo and at the end they decided not to refund our stay!!

Five Stars – A Truly Unforgettable Experience at Casa Palopó We absolutely love Casa Palopó and have been visiting this stunning property for several years. Each stay only deepens our appreciation for this truly unique and outstanding hotel. The breathtaking views of Lake Atitlán, framed by beautifully landscaped gardens and majestic volcanoes, are simply unforgettable. The level of gastronomy is exceptional—fine dining at its best. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The new restaurant menu is fantastic, a true culinary delight. The service is impeccable, with every member of the staff going above and beyond. Special thanks to Fausto, Mary, and Pablo—the new manager—who all made our experience incredibly warm and personal. The new chef has brought a fresh and exciting touch to the kitchen, and it shows in every bite. The villa area is a true gem. With its gorgeous decor, it offers a luxurious and tranquil retreat. Don’t miss the infinity pool and jacuzzi—both are beautifully designed and offer an amazing way to unwind while enjoying panoramic lake and volcano views. Casa Palopó continues to set the standard for world-class hospitality in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Highly recommended!

This property is far from the public boats and they overcharge for every thing even transportation to town so if you're staying here be prepared to stay there only of pay alot. Even though theirs options they won't tell you unless you ask specifics which was frustrating.
