I've stayed at Posada los Encuentros five or six times since 2007, with the most recent stay being last week (early April 2009). Having traveled to many places and staying at numerous hotels/hostels throughout the country, I can say this is my favorite place out of all of them. Richard, the owner, is the most friendly, helpful, and nice guy... more

We stayed at this hotel for 10 days. We enjoyed the spacious room and the hot tub a lot. Richard, the American owner, is very friendly and helpful. Ask for the book he wrote on the culture around the lake of Atitlan. This brought us to very interesting place and made us meet very interesting people. Christian, the German manager,... more

I have stayed at Posada Los Encuentros a couple of times and both times have been an excellent way to relax and enjoy the sights and frendliness of "Pana". Great location because it is not on the mainstrea of the center of all, parties, market, but close enough for a ride on a "tuc tuc" for a couple of dollars.... more

I have stayed at Posada Los Encuentros about 4 times and every experienced has been great. I have stayed in the little bungalows and in the suite with room for 6 people and private kitchen and all rooms have been clean and cozy. It is very safe and the staff is very helpful. I'm positive that my husband and I... more

On a solo trip to Guatemala, I was searching for a hotel that was safe, clean and economical. All I needed was simply a place to sleep since I would be spending most of my time exploring and photographing the area. I booked six nights at Posada los Encuentros. It turned out to be the best decison I made for... more

We stayed at Posada Los Encuentros for three weeks in February, and were delighted with our stay. The location away from the noisy main street, yet only a 10 minute walk from either the tourist area or the mercado for wonderful fresh fruits and veggies, was perfect. The room was not fancy, but it was very comfortable and had a... more

We have stayed at Posada Los Encuentros many times as a couple, with friends, and with family. Each time the visit has been excellent! We love the thermal spa on chilly nights and the free continental breakfast in the morning. This is undoubtedly the quietest place in Panajachel! Also, the owner is an American so it's nice to have an... more

Unfortunately, we have to agree with the other people who stayed at this once-lovely hotel on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala in May 2008. The room was dirty, the hot tub was filthy and dangerous (slippery mold growing with a huge ant nest due to it not being cleaned), there was dog poop on the sidewalk in front of the stairs, broken... more

Posada Los Encuentros was established by the current owner who lives on the premises and has always been directly involved in the management of this unique lodging. Tropical climates support an abundance of natural life that constitute a special challenge to manage without the heavy use of pesticides. We respond immediately to any complaints of discomfort caused by our environmental...

We stayed here in May and although the staff were friendly enough the place needed a darn good clean. The room was stuffy and smelt unclean, the heavy rugs were filthy and the fresh water outside looked very dubious. Thick layer of dush below th bed and around the room. One look at the hottub and we declined...it needed to... more

Tropical climates support an abundance of natural life that constitute a special challenge to manage without the heavy use of pesticides. This is especially so in July which is the rainy season in Guatemala, heavy with humidity. We respond immediately to any complaints caused by our environmental connection with nature and we repair damage/problems to our facility as quickly as...

Seven of us spent three nights at Posada Los Encuentros following a recent service project in Guatemala and would definitely return. The owner and manager are long-time residents and very familiar with the area, culturally and environmentally sensitive. Most helpful in arranging transportation to and from Pana and suggesting activities around Atitlan. Pleasant courtyard and breakfast area and spacious rooms.... more
