We stayed at this hotel while we visited the Mayan Tikal ruins. The rooms were average but clean. The bed was comfortable enough. The safety deposit box in the room isn't bolted to the floor or anything. Someone could easily come in and carry it away. You also had to get a separate safety deposit key from the front desk....

After an exhausting tour to Tikal, you can spend the entire afternoon (and the next day too) in the magnificent pool, you have no choice since the weather is sooo hot!!!

We recently visited on a tour to Tikal and decided to stay overnight in Flores/Santa Elena rather than fly to the ruins and back from Guatemala City in one day. The Hotel is located conveniently on the end of the short causeway to Flores Island. We had a basic room which was satisfactorily clean and with some amenities; three adults... More

.I booked Peten Esplendido through internet, I just looked at the pics and the rooms seemed real nice. When I and my wife arrived, they gave us a small room, with a ceiling fan, air conditioner and a small tv set. The staff are the high point on this hotel, but the rooms, apart from the cleaning service, was not... More

This is a pretty good hotel, yet there are hotels better located nearer Tikal if that is where you are going, and it lacks the atmosphere of staying on Flores island itself. Still, it does a pretty good job - food was good, service was good too.

During my three-night stay at the Hotel Peten Esplendido the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, especially the reception, continually impressed me. In my experience, it is the small touches such as a cool welcoming drink, reasonable laundry rates, and competent reception staff, which make the difference. When I was unable to acces my own e-mail account in an emergency,... More

OK. Let me start by saying I stayed at this hotel in 2001, not 2010. I was not given the option. But I felt that my review may help a few people.

Arrived at the Peten Esplendido after a very long day traveling from Mexico. Right from the start I was impressed - reception staff were great and very accommodating. We had a minor logistical issue that our group needed to resolve and no request was turned down by the hotel staff. A good, comfortable hotel to relax in after an exhausting... More
