Casa Palopo is heaven on earth. Every part of the hotel is thoughtfully decorated and stunning- with the kind of originality one can only find in an independent boutique hotel. Refreshing pools surrounded by curated cactus gardens, backed by the mountainous jungle and overlooking the teal Lake Atitlan. Kayaks and paddle boards are provided to make the most of the lake. The restaurant serves incredible cocktails and cuisine. The team is friendly, fun and very attentive. Little touches make the stay pure magic- a selection of wellness drinks to start your day and a unique gift in the room each nigh.

Nice hotel, food was not great. Expected more for 700 per night room. Not much to do. Weather is hit or miss. Pool is underwhelming. Don’t order fish and if you can eat dinner at the restaurant down the hill instead. Fabian

The lake view is magnificent but the acces is very difficult. The staff is friendy. I did not like that the security asked my name several times and it seems like i was not welcome in the hotel. However after i checking the staff It is very dificult to get in to my room. The rooms are not accesible for people with health concern. I love the view but i would never visit the hotel again it is crazy the amount of stairs. I was feeling. Really bad because i was not able to brith do to efort because iI am asthmatic

Avoid Casa Palopo: Guatemala is/was going through a political unrest situation with protesters blocking the roads. The US embassy advised anyone to stay clear or the road blocks/areas which also pertained to the roads to Late Atitlan. We found out the day we got to Antigua about the unrest and that the roads to Lake Atitlan are closed. Having booked for the day after we got to Antigua, we contacted the hotel and after several hours they said that we won’t get there unless we take a helicopter which was out of the question (financially and safety wise). We talked to several people in Antigua and most of them were going to visit Lake Atitlan as well. ALL of them got refunded due to the circumstances, however Casa Palopo did not. They charged us the hotel room for 2 nights with no explanation. (We did book through Expedia and they contacted the hotel every day for 8 days and the hotel refused to give us the refund, although Expedia mentioned several times that considering the circumstances it should be not issue to cancel the reservation and get the refund). Obviously money is way more important for them than the safety of their guest. I highly suggest to stay clear of this hotel as unknown circumstances may arise and the hotel WILL NOT work with you not matter what. We spent several hours on the phone with Expedia and emailing Casa Palopo and at the end they decided not to refund our stay!!

We booked the Casa Palopó as part of a friend's 50th birthday celebration about 4-6 months prior to the arrival date. Unfortunately for us, the Guatemalan elections caused civil unrest and because of this, we ended up having to cancel last minute (about a week's notice). The hotel was incredibly difficult to get a hold of, and when we finally were able to get someone via a web-based chat, they assured us that we'd be able to get a refund for our cancellation. Mind you, this was all before our stay was scheduled. However, after the dates of our stay passed, they came back to us and refused to give us the refund of over $1,000. We will be pursuing a chargeback with our credit card company, and we will most certainly never be booking with this hotel (or any of their associate properties) ever again.
