I recently visited Guatemala for the first time and some good friends took me to Monterrico. We got to Johnny's Place very early and our room was not quite ready, so we ordered a few drinks and waited at the beautiful outdoor bar. I was immediately impressed with the music selection they had playing over the PA. I've been DJing... More

You will love Johnny's place! It is very late back, relax and the view is stunning! It is located direct on the beach of the pacific coast. The food is awesome and the prices are very reasonable. Some rooms and bungalows are rustic but they are remodeling all of them now. Their is many options so you should find yours...... More

On one of the nicest beach in Guatemala, between the Chiquimulila lagoon and the Pacific ocean you find Johnny’s Place. The charm and laid back atmosphere is what made Johnny’s Place the most popular spot on the beach. Ideal for family retreats or party’s with friends. Johnny’s Place in Monterrico Guatemala is the local and gringo hang out. A cool... More

We checked out a few hotels on the budged-minded end and settled on Johnny's because of the owners offered a great deal on breakfast and because it looked better, smelled better, and felt better than some of the other places we went to. Now you are in Monterrico or Monte Rico, depending on who is writing, so don't expect the... More

This was the only place that I felt so strongly that I had to write about negatively. While it is never ok to swindle people, it is really sad to know that there is a westerner somewhere that is "Johnny", and is shamming his fellows in a place where labor is sooo cheap. Or, either he doesnt know how to... More

I live in California but recently spent several months traveling throughout Guatemala and I've stayed at many different places during that time. I've never taken the time to post a review for any place I visited, but after my stay at Johnny's Place I feel the need to share the incredible experience. From the moment I arrived I felt very...

Johnny's place was the place to be in Monterrico. The bar is always hopping and the lounge area (pillows on sand under a tarp) is perfect for a lazy day. The food is also surpisingly good. On the other hand the bungalows are a little rough. I back packer would love this place. However, those looking for a more comfortable... More
