What guests think

At Hotel Posada de Don Rodrigo Panajachel, travelers praise the lakefront location with stunning views, friendly staff, and clean grounds and rooms, while noting firm beds, dated areas, spotty in-room Wi-Fi/hot water, pricey dining, and some pool or slide maintenance.

Guests like the gardens, family-friendly pool with a slide, hammocks, and the small on-site museum; secure parking is a plus. Many enjoy the on-site restaurant, though several say prices are high and choices limited, with few vegetarian options. Rooms are often spacious; however, many mention very firm mattresses, limited or ineffective AC or fans, occasional noise, dated fixtures, and inconsistent in-room Wi-Fi or hot water. Expect a scenic, convenient stay with warm service and some trade-offs in room comfort and value.

Second time at La Posada de Don Rodrigo and I would come back again. The place is beautiful with an amazing view to the lake. The staff is extremely nice and always ready and willing to help. They have a lake view restaurant with excellent traditional Guatemalan food. The pool was clean, the patio was also clean and nice to rest on the hammocks. The staff helped us get a boat to cross to the towns across the lake and we had a great time. This hotel is in a very convenient street which you can come out at night and buy stuff, food, see the lake and take amazing pictures. Parking on site, WIFI, museum on the premises and restaurant. Excellent place I would recommend for a family trip.

Beautiful hotel on a beautiful property. We loved the location, the big blue slide, and the hammocks. Staff were all very nice. The restaurant was a bit pricey so did not eat there. We were supposed to get free drinks but unfortunately we were not told it was for only certain types so ended up paying. Walkable to many restaurants, souvenirs, and ferry docks/boats. A little warm at night in the room but slept with the windows open and felt very safe. Bed was a bit too firm. Overall, would stay here again.

Perfect spot to organize any escursions and lake walkway. Pretty landscape. Confortable ammocks. Swimming pool wasn't totally ready for guests (i guess is low season). No spa as advertised (they call a masseurs to ur room if needed). Just sauna. Little museum very informative on site enclosed in the ticket. Very ospitable and accomodating staff.

The best part was the Museum. It has beautiful mayan pieces. And the underwater exhibition was very nice. Service was good but restaurant is very basic. It is sad that the hotel is in front of the lake and the only thing you see is an ugly toboggan.

El hotel se sabe que es antiguo, y sigue siendo bueno pero si creo que le falta actualizar algunas cosas como poner por lo menos un conector más. Tuvimos un incidente con mi beba de 2 años, la teniamos jugando en el pequeño espacio que tienen para bebés dentro de la piscina, ella jugando tranquila ahi se cortó el pie, solamente nos llevaron un botiquín, no hubo una disculpa o un apoyo adicional, y eso que la cortada fue porque tienen azulejos quebrados y otros rajados en esa área. Deberían de tener todo en mejores condiciones.

Hotel is very outdated. Not very clean, either. Had to ask staff to clean our bathroom/sink because there was dried mud all over. Very few towels. Old and uncomfortable beds.

It was a lake front property very clean and friendly. They also had a contact as a guide for the lake that was over 5 stars his name was Hugo. The restauranr manager victor was very professional. Food was the only thing that needed some improvement but overall was an awsome stay. The gardens and the hammocks were relaxing. We will be back.

The grounds of the property were beautiful and its location was great! The staff were friendly and professional. That being said, the wifi connection was not strong in my room which was very disappointing because I needed to work while there. The water in the bathroom was lukewarm at best and it was pretty outdated. The walls were very thin so you could hear everything, I slept with a white noise sound on my phone at night to lessen the sounds of the neighboring guests. Overall it was over priced in my opinion.

The hotel was very nice and beautiful, but for the very high price it would be highly recommended that they buy pillow top mattress covers or new mattresses. Both of our rooms had beds that were very hard and extremely uncomfortable, my husband and I, and our friends in the other room could not sleep for most of the night because of it. Other than that it’s a beautiful place and the staff was very courteous.

The location is good. Im upset you advertise infinity pool and luxury yet ot is the opposite. Room was clean but that every hotels policy so no difference in that. I paid for an infinity pool looking over the lake and nothing. Definitely not booking here again for the amount I paid for the one night is not worth it. No AC in the room i understand is abit chilly in panajachel but in a room it gets hot.

Location is almost perfect!! Beautiful view, boats are really close, food is great, what i did not like was a lady that was in the welcome office that was not really nice when we check in, but it was the only one, the rest of the staff were great and the “vip benefit” was a joke!! A mini beer (cheapest one they have) and for my girlfriend a natural juice in a glass like two inches tall and mostly full of ice, very dissapointing “VIP benefit”
