I can't believe anybody would give this place 5 stars. The pool, landscaping, and restaurant are fine, and it is centrally located in Panajachel, but the rooms are a mess from beginning to end: - You can literally hear everything outside and next door. Paper thin walls. - Bathroom is a disgusting joke: shower head caked in god knows what,... More

Grounds are very nice here. But so much else is wrong. No one at front desk speaks English, so trying to get issues addressed was very difficult with my poor Spanish. Biggest issue is that walls are PAPER THIN. You can hear everything in adjacent rooms. Everything. Curtains don't completely close, so difficult to seal out light. 'Hot' water is... More

Compared to the USA the room would be a Motel 6 accommodation. It is located in the center of town. Excellent location. The grounds and pool are excellent. The use of palm trees in the landscaping is very special. The extra water bottle outside the rooms is a very good idea. The breakfasts is complementary. If you like eggs and... More

Our group of 19 was well served and promptly. Good food. Restaurant decorated in tropical jungle style we experienced first in Chiapas, much appreciated. Did not stay at this hotel, but pool area looked great.

Short distance from the shore, in the middle of the actions, yet back far enough from the street to keep the noise down. The garden is attractive, with a small pool. The restaurant is set back in the garden, and gives a nice atmosphere. Breakfast was decent, with typical egg, bean, toast, and fruit. And was included. Pleasant clean place... More

The hotel has large airy rooms some of which look out onto a cold water swimming pool. Very few people swam because of the coldness of the water. The gardens are a peaceful sanctuary in the midst of Panajachel. The hotel website does not mention their rates but we were quoted $340 US for 4 nights. We were a bit... More

Pease ignore my rating of the fitness center and... More

Hotel is situated on one of the main streets - Santander - and is just a two-minute walk from Lake Atitlan. It couldn't be more convenient. However, it is set back from the street, so no noise. Lovely grounds with pool, wifi. I was on my own and felt very safe. The staff was very helpful and courteous. Other reviews... More

Walk off the busy main street in Panajachel to discover the tranquility of beautiful Hotel Dos Mundos. Rooms are attractively decorated in Guatemalan textiles and look out over the lovely pool and gardens; lots of hot water and free wifi add to the pleasure. It's a short walk to the waterfront and the lanchas waiting to take you off to... More

Stepping off of Panajachel's main road, Calle Santander, and onto the property of Hotel Dos Mundos, you enter into a tropical and peaceful sanctuary. Talk about ambiance! The architecture, gardens, pool and decor are gorgeous and a perfect parallel to the beauty of Guatemala's Highlands. Rooms are very clean and cozy. Food is fantastic. I highly recommend dinner at their... More
