first of all the positives as there are plenty. the setting is truly spectacular, probably one of the best spots on the lake, with unbeatable views of the lake and surroundings. the hotel itself is wonderful, tastefully done, with beautifully maintained (yet kind of wild) gardens. The communal areas are just a perfect place to relax and admire the view,... More

We came here for one of my last nights in Guatemala and had an excellent stay. The staff was helpful and very friendly. The food was delicious and enjoyed on a patio that sits right above the lake, the most interestingly placed dining room I've sat at in the Atitlan area after more than 15 visits. Their concept of providing... More

We really enjoyed the 3 nights we spent here. We were looking for an escape from the bustle of the city. This fit the bill perfectly. The little cabins were really cute with a breathtaking view. It feels like you are staying in a tree house in the middle of the jungle. Added bonus: the night is lit up with... More

We loved this hotel for its tranquility, simplicity, the fine view from our cabin and the delicious food. Watch out for the quirks of the menu pricing system. Breakfast and lunch are good but dinner is either a 3 course set meal or pasta, neither of which are great value but everything else makes up for it. The staff were... More

I planned on staying at Isla Verde 1-2 nights but ended up spending 2 weeks! It is quiet, only the birds and waves of the lake at night. The food is wonderful, the service outstanding, and it was the relaxing peaceful vacation I needed. The staff helped me find short day trips and set me up for massage, yoga, zip... More

Awesome place to unwind for a few days or a month! Very relaxing, best views, great cabins with the coolest jungle themed bathrooms, and great food so you don't need to leave anywhere. Melissa and Daniel were very helpful and were up to a chat even in the midst of being very busy.

There are good things and bad things about this place. We loved the location & the staff is hardworking & helpful. But the overall value for what you get is poor. The cabins are small & could benefit from shelves or hooks or something to help utilize the space more efficiently. That said, the views are lovely. Likewise, the food... More

We just returned from three days at the Isle and enjoyed the serenity as well as the food and great company. Our room was at the top of the hill over 180 steps up, but the view in the morning made the walk well worth the climb. The staff was most helpful and friendly and joined in with the fun.

We stayed at Isla Verde for 3 nights and had a lovely time it really is a little piece of paradise. We got the boat to the private dock for Q10-15 each no problem. Make sure you say Isla Verde and don't get dropped at Santa Cruz otherwise you'll be doing the boardwalk (literally) to get there. This is fine... More
