3BR Villa in Panajachel

Alejandro

Excellent, 2 months ago

An excellent place to rest once you finish the walks and excursions in the area. Everything is clean, as shown in the photos. The amenities shown are as shown in the listings. Recommended!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Maria Elena’s place! The location was absolutely ideal - we could walk to the water to catch a lancha to the surrounding towns within minutes. We were also able to walk to Calle Santander (Main Street in Panajachel full of shops and restaurants) within a few minutes, and Pedro was always available to open the gate for us upon our return. Grounds were immaculately maintained and gorgeous. We are also happy we chose Panajachel as our home base, as it was easy to find everything we needed and a great hub for the lanchas. Definitely a perfect place to stay when visiting Lake Atitlan!

Everything was perfect, a pleasure to stay in this house

Host Response

Thank you so much for your feedback, we look forward to seeing you again.

Great location near the main attractions, you can walk to Santander Street and the pier, close to restaurants. The place is beautiful and in a safe location. The house is very clean and tidy, equipped with everything you need (kitchen utensils, bath towels and pool). Beautiful landscaping, clean pool and jacuzzi, shared with the other 3 villas. Very quick communication and Pedro's service was very friendly. A family place to rest. Totally recommended.

This space is beautiful! We stayed here a few nights. We loved being able to walk to the lake in just a few minutes and also to Calle Santander for shopping and restaurants. In a bustling city this villa felt private and peaceful. We loved having ping pong and foosball and the jacuzzi in the evenings! Maria Elena sent very clear instructions and check in and check out was super easy. The kitchen was clean and fully stocked and we were able to cook breakfast every morning. There was a small market across the street where we could buy ingredients. Just fyi only one bedroom is private. The others are loft style. Our group didn’t mind this at all, but wanted to note it in case your group is looking for more privacy. Overall 5/5 stars, and I would definitely stay here again!

This was such a lovely time for me and my host family! We came to Panajachel as a way for me to say thank you for everything they do to help me, and María Elena’s place was perfect! The house is beautiful and very clean, and the pool, jacuzzi, and ping pong table were so nice for relaxing and enjoying our time together. Even though the city is loud and busy, the house and yard are so peaceful and calm. It’s super walkable to lots of great restaurants and things to see and do. I would love to stay here again!!

Host Response

Thank you for your feedback, it was a pleasure.

María Elena was always very responsive when sending her a message. Our shuttle arrived hours before check in and they gladly stored our luggage while we explored and even tried to get us into room as early as possible. Pedro was very nice in helping us check in and overall just a friendly person! The gate definitely made us feel super safe and knowing Pedro was there was reassuring. The pool was beautiful as well as the surrounding greenery. The only thing i wish i would have known prior was that the rooms upstairs are loft style meaning they are not enclosed. You can hear the noise from downstairs so if someone wanted to go to sleep earlier than others this was a little difficult. Even still we loved our stay and I would definitely recommend it for your stay in Pana. Everything is walkable and we enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant right next door. Thank you Maria Elena and Pedro for everything!

Great place to stay All that you can expect and such more more even things that i did not imagine

(English below) This location is great! You are minutes away from the docks and Lake Atitlán only minutes away. Villas are also located near great restaurants like Deli Jazmin and several great cafes, including I love you on the other side of the street. Panajachel's nightlife is higher up in town, about 10 minutes on foot. You can also walk into town to see the market and grocery stores. The venue has a large wall that protects it from the outside and a person who is available almost 24 hours a day for any needs they may have on the villa premises. To enter the property of the villas, you must ring the bell each time, but you have a set of keys for your private villa to enter. There are 4 small villas or houses that are all located together within the property. The 4 villas share a common space that includes a small pool, pool for infants, hot tub, ping pong table, foosball table, and grill. We visited in December so the pool water was very cold to use the pool even in the day. The jacuzzi was a little hot but not like other jacuzzis. We noticed that the villas workers were trying to compose it but the water didn't warm up well during our visit. Each of the 4 villas is identical from the inside. On the main floor of each villa there is a kitchen, dining room and living room. Next to the living room, separated by a door, is the master bedroom with a private bath. Upstairs there are two loft/loft type sleeping spaces, one with two queen/double beds and one with a queen/double size bed. The two sleeping spaces on the top floor are loft/loft spaces and do not have full walls that separate them from the rest of the house. This means that people who sleep upstairs have no privacy. The house is made for a couple sleeping in the master bedroom and the kids upstairs. Or if this is a group of adults, just be aware that people sleeping on the top floor will not have privacy. There is a shared bathroom upstairs. The bathrooms and house were fully equipped for sleeping, cooking, and eating. While there was hot water for the house, just keep in mind that hot water lasts about 10 minutes, making quick showers the best. Overall, we had a great stay and loved the quiet, quiet quiet space. We hope to visit again! / This location is great! You are just a few minutes from the docks and Lake Atitlán.

Overall we had a great stay and loved the quiet and calm space. We look forward to visiting again!
