Hotel El Sol

Nice hotel with really clean floors, comfortable beds, and basic services. The owner is very helpful when you need it. Located on the quieter side of town, this hotel is about 1.5 miles from the Embarcadero for San Pedro and San Juan. Laundry services are available for a reasonable price. Breakfast is also available for various options.

Nice owner, and in a quiet part of town

The property was nice but there was no one at the front desk except during check-in so we couldn't get any help with tours or anything like that. Location is a bit out of the way but there are some local food options nearby Location

Property is clean, safe, and quiet . Staff is great! Property is about 15 minutes walk to restaurants in central panajachel, or you can tuk-tuk for only 5 quetzals to the restaurants' area or to the pier area.

Hotel Sol is an excellent choice to stay when visiting the Panajachel area. Unlike many other places in the area, the building is secure, very clean, the rooms are big, the shower (hot and cold water) actually works, and the staff are attentive and helpful. Although the hotel is in the periphery of Panachel, for less than $1 (5 quetzales) you can hop into a tuck-tuck and go anywhere in Panajachel. I have stayed in several places in the area and Hotel Sol is my number one choice.
