Just looked at some of the other reviews and cannot grasp the unfounded gripes. This hotel is Shangri-La!!! The grounds are gorgeous and kept meticulously beautiful. It was like spending time in a private, luxurious forest. Staff was helpful and attentive to all requests. An ATM in town gave me a receipt saying they had given me money but no... More

I found this hotel very overrated by the community. What I liked: 1) The location is naturally beautiful 2) The main dining room is really nice 3) The staff is very friendly 4) The food is pretty good What I didn't like: 1) The town of Santiago is just terrible. Going to another town may be a better choice. 2)... More

I just got back from 3 nights at Posada de Santiago. If you're looking at Santiago Atitlan, this hotel really is the one of the few choices and possibly the best one, but not without its shortcomings. We were there during rainy season, which I don't recommend anyone. It poured all day, every day. There was nothing to do and... More

En route to Lago Atitlan, an American ex-pat we met in Guatemala City told us that the Posada de Santiago was a "slam dunk" as the best choice for lodging at the Lake. And based on my time at this special hotel, I can't imagine there's a better place to stay, either at Lago Atitlan or anywhere in Guatemala, for... More

The cabins big, the restaurant is delicious, and it's all surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Oh, and the front desk staff was extremely accommodating. All around an awesome hotel. Very easy to catch a tuk tuk or pickup into downtown Santiago, which is a sweet city in and of itself. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone not turned away by... More

I just got back for a 10 day trip around Guatemala and the Posada de Santiago was by far my favorite stay. The cottages are lovely, we throughly enjoyed making nightly fires in the fireplace. The dining room is fantastic, and I'd say serves some of the best food in all of Guatemala. The people working here are so warm... More

Amazing hotel if you look for romantic and quiet room. the view is amazing, the food in the restaurant is great, the rooms are amazing - we realy recommend this place!! its a bit far from the village but it worth it... there are taxi's every minute if you want, and the market on Friday's is really nice also.

I've stayed at the Posada on multiple occasions since 2004. There is a broad range of room styles and prices available, wonderful food, great pool and jacuzzi, etc. The best thing about the place, though, is the staff. Some have been there for over two decades, and the sense of family among them is easily evident. David Glanville, the owner,... More
