Guatemala Day 11: Lake Atitlan Hotel

When we left Antigua, Steve commented to Guillermo that the Hotel Porta Antigua was probably the most beautiful hotel we had ever stayed in. His reply? "Just wait." Hotel Lake Atitlan is what we were waiting for. I'm not sure I could say it was MORE beautiful. Antigua is town; this is country. But WOW!



Here's the view from our balcony.



We arrived right at sunset, checked in and headed for the pool area for pictures. Atitlan is a crater lake formed by an ancient giant volcano and surrounded by younger volcanoes, all dormant.

When we woke, Steve pulled back the curtains, and I took this without ever leaving the bed.

Breakfast with a view.

The whole hotel is a work of art. Each chandelier in the outdoor eating area featured different birds.

The inside dinning room has an aviary for the wall not facing the lake.


The rooms and corridors are lined with art.




The grounds are a place to wander or sit and read a book.






And one last sunset in Guatemala.
