“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013

Casa del Mundo offers that amazing get away you go to Guatemala to find. Perched on Lake Atitlan, it offers great views, great service and and escape from the real world. I stayed in room #3 and while I didn't preregister for dinner as I wasn't sure when I would arrive they where extremely gracious and where able to accommodate... More

“Don't have the words!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013

This place is just ridiculously beautiful; from the boat ride to get to it, the service, the rooms, the views, and the food (GREAT FOOD!!). Everything was perfect; my wife's favorite place in Guatemala. We would have stayed longer if we didn't have friends waiting for us in Xela. On a clear day with those volcanoes reflecting on lake Atitlan... More

“WOW”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

My husband, adult daughter and myself spend Mother's Day enjoying the views, tranquility and great meals at Casa del Mundo. The staff was very courteous and always available. The room was super clean, plenty of hot water and WiFi. The only complain I have is that we did not stay a few more days as I would have liked to... More

“Best service and breakfast in a long time! Highly recommended!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013 via mobile

We only went here with our G adventure tour for breakfast and to hang out and swim for a few hours! The service was excellent...the breakfast the best I had in a long time...and I'm very picky and difficult with food. Highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here if I come to Lake Atitlan!

“Awesome Hotel in Great Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

Casa del Mundo is definitely one of the best places that I've stayed in recent memory. We rented a small private room and bathroom situated with a nice view of the lake at volcano, but I was most impressed by the hotel's family-style dinners and numerous open spaces with spectacular views. As for the location, the hotel is easiest to... More

“Gorgeous hotel worth every penny”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

Casa del Mundo is easily one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It was so thoughtfully and beautifully created, not to mention it has stunning views of the lake and volcanoes at every turn. I don't know why you would stay anywhere else. Great food with very fun family dinners, and all of the staff was so... More

“Best Hotel!”

Casa del Mundo was easily the most amazing place I have ever stayed. The location was magical, incredible views and great walks/hikes to nearby towns. The rooms themselves were clean, well appointed and all unique (I love that). Our room featured beautiful Guatemalan art. Our hosts were generous and friendly. Happy to speak English or Spanish with us and were... More

“Stunning location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

This hotel is in a beautiful place. It was highly recommended and mostly didn't disappoint. Plus is the spectacular setting. We had a corner room with a great, uninterupted view of Lake Aititlan. The minus was the restaurant. It misses a trick by being enclosed when it could so easily be made open and airy. The food was uninspired and... More

“Dont trust lonely planet...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2013

Dont trust lonely planet always, old place, ugly furniture, doesnt have any taste at all. It might worked years agoo, not in the XXI century. No credit cards, bad conserge service, they dont give any information free.
