Posada de Los Volcanes — Hotel in Panajachel

I stayed here for one week as it's my first visit to Lake Atitlán. Since I wanted to visit one village a day folks recommended I stay in Panajachel for easy access to the boats and lots of restaurants. I really enjoyed my stay here. Francisco and Mario and the whole staff provide excellent service.

Do bring some earplugs as you will be waken up by birds chirping. ||We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel (not free), but we saw a lot of non hotel customers dinning there. You do get two big bottles of water upon arrival!||Parking is included, but it is about 2 blocks away. 10Q/hr after the...
