3-Star Hotels in Peten, Guatemala

The most important advantage of the hotel is its security with 24 hour reception and the presence of a courtyard and swimming pool. Ideal for families with children. 15 mins walking to the Santa Helena islands, 3 supermarkets around. This is where the benefits end. The windows do not open in the rooms, therefore you have to turn on the air conditioner and run it constantly, otherwise there will be nothing to breathe. Lack of breakfast implies the need to buy groceries in the evening in order to have breakfast on your own. Another option is to go to restaurants around for breakfast, but few of them open before 9-10 am.

Very nice hotel. Great location, multiple restaurants and bars to walk to, super convenient as it is right by the bridge to walk to mall and even a Burger King. We utilized Tuk Tuks for transportation to Megaplaza mall (very cheap and only 8 min drive away. The hotel does not provide airport transportation but a taxi was only $10 USD a person. Our king size room was very spacious, comfortable bed with thin down comforter, lockable safe, English TV, 2 water bottles a day in room, dark and quite at night. The bathroom has everything you need, shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer. They changed towels and cleaned room every day. We had a shared small balcony and they even got us 2 chairs for balcony. The restaurant/bar was closed due to COVID. They have an indoor and outdoor pool as well as gated parking. Everyone at the hotel speaks English. They were able to set us up with super reasonable Tikal tour and boat tour around the island with pick up in front of hotel. We would definitely stay there again and recommend this hotel.

Good breakfast. Very good location

This cute little hotel has a great location on the island, steps from good restaurants and directly facing the incredible sunsets. The staff are friendly and helpful! I really loved our balcony for watching the sunset and hanging up our wet clothes. There is a tiny pool to cool off in the hot afternoons!

The hotel is perfectly located on the lake, next to the isthmus, allowing access to the island. The lake, the hotel grounds, rooms, kitchen - all have a good rest. Pay attention to the signs prohibiting entry with weapons ...

I stayed at this hotel for 1 night as part of a group tour. With a couple of improvements this hotel could be 4 star - if the hot water was more reliable and the wifi better quality in the rooms (it only really worked for me in reception). The hotel is located on the shore of the lake very near the land bridge to the island, about a 15 minute walk to the island itself (shorter if you walk faster). From what I gather this hotel is a bit better quality than anything reasonable you'd get on the island so maybe worth it, it gives the impression of a golf or boat club building-wise. We had welcome drinks of fresh pineapple juice on arrival. The hotel grounds are very nice, a small but lovely pool and a great view of the island. There is a lift in the hotel, but I was staying in an area of the hotel where I had to climb stairs to access. My room was very nice and a good size, with a massive comfortable king bed. Unfortunately I did not have a lake view, and I did see a couple of small lizards. It was air conditioned nicely. The wifi did not work well at all in my room. The bathroom was nice, it did not have a bath tub but the shower was large and had a waterfall head. However the hot water was unreliable, it only ever got lukewarm. The evening dinner menu looked uninspiring and expensive, but I did have breakfast at this hotel. There was papaya (?) juice and what I think was either porridge or rice pudding (it was very thin) available as buffet, but when I sat down I was given a menu to order off. I could choose from scrambled eggs, continental breakfast, healthy breakfast, or pancakes, I ordered pancakes which came with fruit and honey and were very nice. However I didn't realise that we could mix and match, and ask for additional items such as orange juice, toast, etc., so it would have been nice if this were explained. Overall this hotel was quite good, but needs to improve their wifi coverage and hot water quality to achieve 4 stars.

The hotel has a beautiful view of the lake, the sunset is spectacular, the colors that can be seen from the terrace are phenomenal. I went with my mother and my sister. The room was very suitable for the 3 of us, very large and comfortable beds. The hotel is not very new but ideal for resting.

Lovely hotel, well situated, nice rooms and excellent on site coffee shop. The only issue we had was that the roof top bar was closed for refurbishing which was disappointing as it has panoramic views of Flores. No advance warning given. The noise from the work was constant so no chance for a siesta. One day work went on until 6.30 pm… we expressed our frustration and at first we were offered complimentary breakfast which we weren’t happy with so they kindly offered to reimburse one nights cost. Pool is tiny .. really just a glorified jacuzzi and room for only 3 sun beds.

The second stop of our full country adventure brought us even deeper in the jungles of northern Guatemala to the immaculate Jungle Inn Tikal and its manager Rene. He keeps the place very well run and must not ever sleep because we never saw him not working. He is very proud of his position and the surrounding hotel complex is absolute proof. While at Tikal, we met a genuine diamond in the rough with Mr Cesar. An English speaking guide in the area where I wanted to understand the most was a Godsend. Not only did he speak English, but also Spanish and very good bits & pieces of pretty much every language out there. His speaking ability isn’t what makes him special though. While on his tour, he makes you feel that you are part of the Mayan community and you are living their history in real time through your own set of eyes. We were kept entertained by Mr Cesar’s story telling and excitement and love for his job for the whole tour. If anybody reading this decided on a trip to Tikal, do not settle for subpar. The Jaguar Tikal Inn AND Mr Cesar are the only way to go. Mr Cesar, I personally want to thank you for the wonderful time we experienced with you.
