La Lancha by Francis Ford Coppola offers a tranquil jungle-lakeside stay near Tikal, with private casita-style rooms and serene views, attracting travelers seeking nature, relaxation, and a peaceful base for exploring northern Guatemala.
Reviews consistently praise the warm, attentive staff who personalize stays, coordinate transfers and tours, and add thoughtful touches like welcome drinks and packed breakfasts. Food is frequently described as delicious, though prices align with U.S./Canada levels, portions or flavors occasionally disappoint, and only a simple continental breakfast is included unless you pay extra. Lakeside amenities stand out, including a dock, pool, kayaks and paddleboards, a temazcal sauna, and boat access, with a funicular or elevator assisting the descent to the water. Expect a remote, stair-filled property with limited nearby dining, plus a few reports of Wi-Fi, hot water, bugs, noise, or slow meal service; best for travelers who value nature immersion and comfort over in-town convenience.

La Lancha is an amazing place to stay if you like nature. We enjoyed every minute during our stay. The staff is very accommodating and provides excellent customer service. We enjoyed the sauna (temascal), swam in the lake and the hotel crew helped us coordinate a boat sunset trip to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The sauna and boat is at an additional cost but is definitely worthy, They offer free continental breakfast and the food is good! We rented a car in Peten which gave us the freedom of enjoying the whole area. But if you just want to enjoy the hotel is a good option too, its very relaxing, there’s a swimming pool and a mirador with a beautiful the lake view.there’s a lot of stars and it’s tiresome sometimes to go up and down but it was part of the experience that made it unique.. we did not have to worry about working out lol!

This resort is incredible and the service is fantastic! We took the boat from the airport to the resort and we were greeted with welcome drinks and a candle lite dock. Then we rode the funicular up to the resort. The meals were delicious! The setting was magical!

Beautiful hotel on the shore of a beautiful lake. Facilities are excellent, comfortable, even too perfect. Staff is super friendly and will help all your needs. My daughters (8 and 10) ranked it in their top 3 hotels they have visited because they had so much fun, especially in the lake and pool. Very recommended.

We stayed at La Lancha after touring Guatemala - we wanted to be near Tikal. Our stay was simply fabulous! Nestled in the midst of the jungle but on a lakefront La Lancha offered us a wonderful and relaxed stay full of beautiful scenery, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, canoe rides and stand up paddle boarding activity. We truly enjoyed our time here. The place is simply stunning with lithe huts (casitas) scattered in the midst of the jungle and a team of staff dedicated to ensuring our stay was pleasurable. Every detail was taken care of.

The property is beautiful. We saw a lake otter, a crocodile and howler monkeys as well as many birds while visiting there and on the lake. The Lake View I room was much more than we expected. Two bathrooms!! One down side, maybe, are the steps. Eighty four from our room to the dining room and forty five to the pool. On the other hand we worked off our meals.

Wonderful place nestled in the jungle by lake Peten itzá. The property consists of a cluster of casitas (huts) where guests can enjoy nature and relax. The staff are dedicated to making the stay truly enjoyable and look after all details - like a welcome drink and moist towel at check in, yo calling guests by name to make them feel at home. The property is stunning, there are cañíes, paddle boards, a stunning dock, a jumping rope - all the amenities to make for a wonderful stay by the lake.

The property is unbelievable! This is in an excellent location, very convenient for exploring Tikal. The lake side set up is beautiful with a dock and lounge area. They also provide boating transportation, kayaks, life jackets, basically anything you can need for the lake. There’s even a handicapped accessible elevator that can take you down to the lake if you have issues with steep steps. The pool side was awesome equipped with umbrellas and loungers. The restaurant served excellent food. The bar and drinks were amazing. The service was absolutely incredible, top notch. The room itself was nice with a working AC unit, ceiling fan, and mini fridge stocked. The bathroom was nice with a size-able shower with hot water. Overall, I was very impressed with this hotel. 100/10 rating.

La primer noche de estadía fue muy agradable, sin embargo, para la segunda noche experimentamos una mala atención y fallos en los servicios que nos prometieron. - La propiedad anuncia que tiene Wi-Fi, nunca funcionó de manera estable y nos impedía estar en contacto con nuestros hijos. - El agua caliente falló en el segundo día. - La limpieza de la habitación en el segundo no fue buena, la habitación olía mal. - Ofrecen un menú más amplio para los huéspedes que llevan tres días, pero no lo comunican y es muy desagradable ver a un comensal sentado a nuestro lado con más opciones de comida que nosotros, ya que aparenta un privilegio para ellos y una discriminación para nosotros. Si nos lo hubieran dicho lo habríamos entendido. Mi esposa ama las pastas y no tuvo la opción en su menú mientras veía como en la mesa de al lado degustaban un plato de pasta. Era su cumpleaños.

La Lancha is a beautiful place to rest and regroup. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a honeymoon. We were a little frustrated by the distance from normal amenities (alternative laundry services ie restaurants), but La Lancha is a perfect place to relax for a few days if you can afford US ñ-type prices on food. The food was exquisite. Some of the best we had in Guatemala in a month. The service was beyond perfect. We loved all of the staff. The room was lovely and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The lake and rope swing were fun. Monkeys greeted us the first morning. I would go bank for a special occasion.

I loved that the "room" was not connected to others and the location was not on the path to the restaurant, etc. The room was beautifully decorated and looked out to the vista. The staff and restaurant personnel were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We went on several excursions - to Tikal one day and the boat launch to Flores the next day - and the details were smooth and effortless.

Beautiful property on the lake and our room felt like a private escape. Excellent service with the staff going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and inquiring about our daily activities. They even packed breakfast for us when we left early for the Tikal sunrise tour and for the airport. My only minus was that I thought the food was slightly overpriced and some of the dishes lacked flavor. But overall it was great experience!

Hotel staff outstanding. General Manager made it a point to say hi every day and ask about our stay. Only negative is the boat ride from Flores to the resort. It can be very choppy and almost painful. But that isn’t the fault of the resort, just a fact of crossing a large body of water. Would stay there again.

The staff and restaurant personnel were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating.

Wonderful place nestled in the jungle by lake Peten itzá. The property consists of a cluster of casitas (huts) where guests can enjoy nature and relax. The staff are dedicated to making the stay truly enjoyable and look after all details - like a welcome drink and moist towel at check in, yo calling guests by name to make them feel at home. The property is stunning, there are cañíes, paddle boards, a stunning dock, a jumping rope - all the amenities to make for a wonderful stay by the lake.

The property is unbelievable! This is in an excellent location, very convenient for exploring Tikal. The lake side set up is beautiful with a dock and lounge area. They also provide boating transportation, kayaks, life jackets, basically anything you can need for the lake. There’s even a handicapped accessible elevator that can take you down to the lake if you have issues with steep steps. The pool side was awesome equipped with umbrellas and loungers. The restaurant served excellent food. The bar and drinks were amazing. The service was absolutely incredible, top notch. The room itself was nice with a working AC unit, ceiling fan, and mini fridge stocked. The bathroom was nice with a size-able shower with hot water. Overall, I was very impressed with this hotel. 100/10 rating.

Beautiful property on the lake and our room felt like a private escape. Excellent service with the staff going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and inquiring about our daily activities. They even packed breakfast for us when we left early for the Tikal sunrise tour and for the airport. My only minus was that I thought the food was slightly overpriced and some of the dishes lacked flavor. But overall it was great experience!

A beautiful boutique hotel experience in a jungle setting. Very attentive staff. It is remote so no where to walk to but most people do excursions during the day. Food was very good. Just be aware that food and drink prices are US/Cdn levels, not Guatemalan. That's the main trade off for staying in such a beautiful place. There is also a resident family of spider monkeys which made the experience unique.

This resort is incredible and the service is fantastic! We took the boat from the airport to the resort and we were greeted with welcome drinks and a candle lite dock. Then we rode the funicular up to the resort. The meals were delicious! The setting was magical!

Hotel staff outstanding. General Manager made it a point to say hi every day and ask about our stay. Only negative is the boat ride from Flores to the resort. It can be very choppy and almost painful. But that isn’t the fault of the resort, just a fact of crossing a large body of water. Would stay there again.

La Lancha is a beautiful place to rest and regroup. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a honeymoon. We were a little frustrated by the distance from normal amenities (alternative laundry services ie restaurants), but La Lancha is a perfect place to relax for a few days if you can afford US ñ-type prices on food. The food was exquisite. Some of the best we had in Guatemala in a month. The service was beyond perfect. We loved all of the staff. The room was lovely and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The lake and rope swing were fun. Monkeys greeted us the first morning. I would go bank for a special occasion.

We stayed at La Lancha after touring Guatemala - we wanted to be near Tikal. Our stay was simply fabulous! Nestled in the midst of the jungle but on a lakefront La Lancha offered us a wonderful and relaxed stay full of beautiful scenery, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, canoe rides and stand up paddle boarding activity. We truly enjoyed our time here. The place is simply stunning with lithe huts (casitas) scattered in the midst of the jungle and a team of staff dedicated to ensuring our stay was pleasurable. Every detail was taken care of.

The property is beautiful. We saw a lake otter, a crocodile and howler monkeys as well as many birds while visiting there and on the lake. The Lake View I room was much more than we expected. Two bathrooms!! One down side, maybe, are the steps. Eighty four from our room to the dining room and forty five to the pool. On the other hand we worked off our meals.

I stayed here with my son and his girlfriend and the setting is magical, serene and beautiful. We swam in the lake while watching a family of monkeys watching us from the trees and swallows dipped and flew over the lake. The service is very warm and friendly. We drank delicious cocktails, ate good food and recharges our batteries.

Hotel situado enfrente del lago Petén, con acceso directo al mismo y preparado para distintas actividades acústicas. Su estilo es de lodge africano, con habitaciones-cabañas. La nuestra era enorme, con vistas al lago desde su magnífica terraza. El desayuno, como es habitual en el país, hay que pagarlo aparte si deseas algo más que café, fruta y tostada. La comida del restaurante está bastante buena. Organizan excursiones y traslados eficazmente, aunque no sean servicios baratos. Habría que reprochar cierta ineficiencia administrativa (problemas pre-estancia con los medios de pago), pero una vez allí se esfuerzan por que todo sea perfecto.

Hotel is beautiful, staff is friendly. But the food was not very good, and extremely overpriced for Guatemala. The breakfast menu was pretty large, for example, but the only "inlcuded" breakfasts were either yogurt, fruit, and granola, or 1 egg and toast. My husband asked for another egg and was told he would be charged. For dinner, the menu prices were insane, the portions were small, and the food wasn't great. I ordered a few of the vegetarian meals and one night I got a baked potato that was supposed to have grilled veggies on it for no joke-$30. It came with 2 tiny potatoes with maybe 1 Tablespoon of finely chopped (not grilled) veggies and the potatoes were raw in the middle. I had to ask for some tortillas because I was starving. My husband got a $40 steak that was small, just ok, and came with a side of chips with guac. and rice. And the problem was that the hotel is pretty far from the town so there weren't other options.
