It was a perfect place for my family of nine to stay including two small kids. The lake is stunning and the house is spacious. There are plenty of places to hang out in the house and on the grounds. The pool is shaded for the first half of the day and then gets lots of sun in the afternoon. The lake is very refreshing. Overall, it felt very homey, peaceful, relaxing, and was a great place for our family to stay together and have some bonding time. The only things I would prepare yourself for are a lack of AC in the main space (although the bedrooms do have a great AC) and bugs inside. Definitely keep your food in the fridge or in cabinets. But we were totally fine with this. In fact, the kids loved seeing geckos occasionally on the walls. Camille is great and super helpful and responsive!

We loved our stay at this beautiful lake house, it looked just liked the pictures and the views were amazing. The groundskeepers, Milton and Rosario, were helpful and attentive! The road to get to the home is very rocky and and hard to navigate, so definitely need to be prepared for that element and make sure to bring plenty of food and water as grocery stores are not close to the location. This is not an issue with proper preparation and the location was still worth it! The host was helpful, provided quick responses to questions and good recommendations for local activities like a fantastic boat ride around the lake. We had an incredible trip!!!

The location of the house and the view is beautiful, pool and backyard was a great place to hang out with my family and kids. The only down side was there was no working tv, and master bathroom vaulves was leaking and toilet tanks had problems and had to keep checking the inside of the toilet everytime it was used. Overall all it had a beautiful view inside and outside the house, only downside was needs a few updates (tvs and bathrooms) and highly recommended to have a 4x4 car to get here

Thank you Omar for your update ! We will definitely have a look at that and get it repaired.

The location was peaceful and serene with an unobstructed view of the lake and volcano. Amazing stay. A bonus was that it was a birder’s paradise with many species of birds around the trees on the property. The pool was amazing with a great view from the lake right from the pool. We also enjoyed having a lot of space in the house and on the property. It was very quiet at night and in the early morning.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Lake Coatepeque! The house was beautiful and exactly as described. The view was incredible, the house was clean and spacious. We felt safe staying at this property as there was a guard present. Camila was very responsive and kind throughout the whole stay. Although the view and home were worth every penny, here is the important things you MUST know. You cannot get to this properly without a 4x4. The road up was treacherous and difficult, a 4x4 vehicle is not just recommended, it’s a necessity . It takes at least 20 minutes of difficult road conditions to reach the home, and the driveway is steep. No close restaurants, the closest would be at least 30 minutes. A few amenities did not work properly, some rooms had hot water while others did not. Overall it was a wonderful stay if you plan to stay in and relax.

Our stay at this Airbnb was both memorable and enjoyable. Upon arrival, we encountered a temporary power outage, which was resolved after a few hours. It's worth noting that the property does not have emergency lights or candles, so it's a good idea to be prepared for such situations. The presence of a friendly and helpful groundskeeper on-site added to the overall positive experience. While the common areas lacked a television, one of the bedrooms did have a TV, providing some entertainment options. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with two refrigerators, a deep freezer, an oven, and a grill, made cooking a breeze. But what truly sets this Airbnb apart is its secluded location and breathtaking views. If you're seeking tranquility and stunning scenery, look no further. This property offers a perfect retreat for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the cities. Trust me when I say, heed their advice about needing a truck with all-wheel drive! Overall great time!

This is the perfect vacation home for multiple families or one large family. It is incredibly kid-friendly. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. We loved that each bedroom had a bathroom. The main living area is a beautiful open concept overlooking the picturesque lake, and there is plenty of space in the exterior to lounge and play. The amazing family that live on the property were accommodating and very helpful with preparing meals, cleaning, and assisting with setting up activities and excursions around the lake. They made the experience stress-free and enjoyable for the whole family. You will not regret your stay here!

This house is amazing from the exterior. It’s located on the lake and the view cannot be beat! The views, the pool & many places to relax outside made the property super enjoyable. The interior maintenance is lacking. Especially since there’s “building staff” that stay at the property. No hot water in the 2 upstairs bathrooms, 3rd bedroom shower floods the bathroom due to non-adjustable shower head. This left our group of 6 with one shower to use out of 4 bathrooms. Broken door locks to exterior, lights out, TV’s didn’t work, water damage in bathroom walls. We reported the no hot water, was told “it should work,” and although the maintenance was dispatched, they just told us the same. No one looked at the issue. We got 1 towel per person. After having to use 2 to clean up the water on the bathroom floor, the cleaning lady, told us the owner only allows 1. No hand soap, 1 washcloth, no bathmats, W/D is for staff not guests. Listing needs work. Not clear that the staff lives there

Host Response

Melody thank you for staying with us.. the hot water is working there is no chance only one works when there is a hot water tank simultaneously. If it works in one works in all, sounds like respectfully you turned on the wrong faucet. The guard came to you and clarified it was working . We will clarify to guest which is which Washer / drier is available for guests, the staff does the laundry for the guests. :)

Ok so the place definitely is above and beyond the photos. It’s just gorgeous and well appointed and very spacious, view is just stunning. Beds are comfortable too so that was a bonus. It’s definitely a place where you want to stock up on food and just camp there and not leave. Partly because it so great why go anywhere else but also the road to and from is a little challenging for the last few kilometres (we were warned though). But 100% worth it!

Perfect place to enjoy the coatepeque Lake, creating memories with my family with the enchanted view.The house is perfect stay even on a rainy day, (the was not my experience ) but the house allows you to enjoy the view of the lake from the rooms, living room,beautiful home tastefully blends with modern decor with rustic mountain style. Comfortable rooms and spacious bathrooms.Arriving feels like coming home. Definitely recommend it. Had a relaxing stay, I truly enjoy nature and the breathtaking lake view.Camila always in excellent communication.

Host Response

Thank you Millie for your descriptive review! Always a pleasure to have you !!

Camila's place is heavenly space. The view and tranquility that you experience there is what we all need to disconnect. The place is perfect, super clean and tidy, and we were greeted at the wonderful entrance. I don't have any complaints, everything was super good. Only if it is necessary to arrive by high car, on the street. But the bad stretch, to get there is short, with care any car can arrive. Definitely worth booking, everyone will want to come back!

The place is exactly what it looks like if anything the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s beautiful. A few points to make clear the road to get there is not the greatest and you. For sure need 4x4. The doorman is there in case any inconvenience he makes sure the gate gets closed at night and feel safe. The directions Camila sends are straight to the point with pictures no way to get lost. However when you do go in you will think twice before leaving again considering the roads other than that it’s exactly what the pictures show but better !

This property is beyond beautiful! The house was very spacious, equipped with everything you need, and very clean. The view was to die for. The pictures don’t even do it justice. It was worth every penny staying in this beautiful home. The host was very nice and provided very detailed instructions to get to the house. 4x4 vehicle is necessary to get to the villa as it’s a little remote. Request the pool to be heated at least one day in advance because they use gas as the heat source and it takes time. Will definitely stay here again!

The house is truly beautiful! The glass walls in the living room are breath taking. The lake is beautiful and right there. Do listen to the other reviews, you'll need a 4 x 4 or a pick up truck. The roads aren't that bad but the houses driveway is extremely steep. We had a pick up truck and had some trouble because it was raining when we got there. Make sure to take beverages and snacks because you do have to drive out to stores & restaurants. But other than that as long as you're ready you'll enjoy it. The host was very responsive & accommodating. The caretaker is also there incase you have any questions about the house/area.

I have to say that this beautiful place I give 5 stars because it is very very nice , beautiful , clean and updated . Love my family and I made us, the truth is it's very nice, but the only thing I didn't like was that I wasn't told that the street to be able to get there needed a 4x4 car and I wasn't prepared with a car like that , so I hope my comment can help someone prepare with a good car , because the truth is it's worth renting that house no one who spent a day there can say that they didn't like it.

The location and house was spectacular! The only thing is the arrival to the house on the road but Camila (super host) was in continuous communication and I send good address signs to find the house. The house itself looks exactly as they show it. A beauty!

The house is spectacular, the view is unique and Camila is a first-class host.

GET THE POOL HEATED BEFORE YOU ARRIVE!!!! this house is nice and the view is BEAUTIFUL. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I don’t feel that I got the experience I expected with the price I payed. The host does not clarify in the description that the pool must be heated and payed separately to be able to use it because it’s pretty cold YEAR ROUND. I booked this house for the infinity pool and the view. We arrived at 4PM and we immediately wanted to enjoy the pool/lake since we were there for only one night, but the pool was freezing. I asked the caretaker to heat the pool and he said I needed to contact the host and that it would take about 7+ hours to heat. I contacted the host and she gave me the price to turn on the heat and said it would be heated in about 3 hours. I payed the caretaker $120 and he turned on the heat, it was 10PM and the pool was still not warm enough to enjoy. So the host definitely lied and the caretaker was correct that it would take 7+ hours to heat. We got up around 8AM, check out was at 11AM so we were able to use the pool for about two hours and I payed $120 for that. I would have appreciated a heads up from the host that the pool needed to be heated before we arrived so that we could enjoy it.

The house is very nice and comfortable, Rosario is very helpful in the kitchen and with the service, but the best thing is Camila, a super host. I'll be back and for more days.

The house and the view was just beautiful.. As a host Camila is great her communication is awesome.. Make sure you driving 4x4 the roads are very bad on my way to the house we got lost we started asking to the neighbors if they knew how to get to this house.. neighbors was giving us directions but they also told us how dangerous can be and not to continue because on the roads somebody can stopped us and steal our stuff… Unfortunately we didn’t believe them and we continue driving to the house once we got there we decided to leave due to how dangerous the road and outside the house can be… All my family didn’t feel safe at all.. If you decided to visit this place make sure you bring your food, once you got there I would recommend not to go outside the house there’s no restaurants, no supermarkets nearby.. Base of my experience I will highly recommend to bring your own security

Host Response

It was unfortunate you guys left after being there for 15 minutes. Thank you for your review; the place is safe, nothing has happen to any guest or us in years. No security is needed . Hope you can give it a chance sometime soon

The roads are bad wouldn’t recommend once we got there we decided not leave due to how dangerous the roads can be but if you plan to just stay there and not leave the house is fine no air conditioning just in the rooms doors don’t lock and someone can come in and out the “guards” came in and out when they wanted to so be careful leaving stuff when leaving the house

Host Response

Thank s for the review. Air conditioning are in every room and stated nowhere does it say that living room area ( an open room) would have air conditioning . All rooms can be locked and there is a door ahead of every hallway which also locks. Nothing was missing from your belongings so I don’t understand the comment or the lack of doors not locking.

Lindisima casa! Perfecta para un finde de descanso.

The bed was dirty with blood stains, the maid said it was normal and didn’t pay much attention to it. Had to sleep in a different bed. Locations roads were not good at all, and overall I felt it was way overpriced for the experience.

Host Response

Paris, thank you for your observations. Rest assure that the 2 millimeter stain on the sheet was not blood, and for any future guests, the sheets have been changed. Also, I would strongly advice to arrive early , it’s detrimental to the whole experience if you arrive at night and checkout is early, so there is no time for you to enjoy the beauties of the property.

This is a beautiful place with an amazing view of the lake. Internet worked great and plenty of space for everyone. Only con is that to get to the place, you need a pickup truck for traction. Once you enter the place the way down is very steep and it’s difficult to go back up for a SUV 🚙. You will burn the rubber on your tires at the very least. Going in a pick up truck is ideal. The host was great and nice. I would stay at this place again but would take a pickup truck 🛻. We damaged our vehicles when we were leaving the house.

Amazing place to stay on Lake Coatepeque. I loved this house so much we didn’t want to leave. Beautiful place. House keepers make you feel like royalty and take care of you each and everyday. Avoid leaving the house on Sundays because traffic is insane. Lots of people come to the lake this day. Traffic won’t stop until about 7pm. Make sure you get a Jeep or 4x4 car to rent. Necessary for the road to get to the house. (This is very important) Beautiful drive in and the view will take your breathe away. If we get the chance to come back we will absolutely stay here. Camila is absolutely wonderful and her communication timing is in real time through WhatsApp. Thanks again Camila! 6 STAR rating if possible!

Great place to spend a calm weekend

The house is magical, the view of the lake spectacular and a perfect weekend escape! Our host was excellent in terms of helping us out with all our needs and questions. The house is well kept, modern and clean. There is a guard and cleaner available at the property which ensures your stay is safe and hassle free! Tips: bring entertainment or a good group of friends as you don’t have TV or reliable WiFi in the communal rooms. Make sure you have a vehicle available to you throughout your stay that can navigate dirt roads as there is no other way to leave the property. Bring food, including everything you may need to cook (oil, S&P) since there are no shops or supermarkets nearby. Finally, you will love your stay in this beautiful Casa, especially if you’re looking to relax and soak in the natural surroundings!

A luxury experience. The house is really beautiful, I loved the layout and decor of the spaces, and most importantly, the cleanliness of the whole place. The location is perfect for privacy but even more so for the panoramic view of all Lake Coatepeque; and the view of the Ilamatepec Volcano from the main room of the house is spectacular and incomparable. It's equipped with everything you need, and more-it's great for large groups. The green areas of the place in perfect condition. The people who take care of the house are very attentive and were attentive at all times, adding that our stay was a better experience. In short, Camila's house is paradise and she is an excellent host!
