"If you do stay in one of the properties this guy owns do NOT give him cash! He is a scammer, asked us to pay him cash because according to him he had not received payment from Vrbo/HomeAway and our pending charge on our credit card would be removed. He charms you with good customer service and seems trust worthy but DO NOT GIVE HIM CASH! We've been trying to get a refund for almost a year now and Vrbo hasn't done anything about it either! Will be reporting them to the BBB as well because they...

"Beautiful and peaceful place to stay at Lake Atitlán. Amazing lake and volcano views, very clean cabins, and a relaxing atmosphere away from the crowds. The hosts were welcoming and the location was perfect for exploring nearby towns. Would definitely stay again."

"Overall extremely poor. Construction littered the property, loud bangs and tools served as an alarm clock at 6am until the afternoon. Check in took long as the Vrbo listing address takes you very far from where the house actually is and communication proved to be difficult as well. Also lack of direction with garbage leading to a strong odor"

"This room had an AMAZING view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. It is a lakefront property with the room on the lower section facing the water. The bedroom and bathroom had amazing views and the hosts were very communicative for check in and check out. We needed to leave our bags at the property for a while while we did a tour and they were also able to help us store and retrieve our luggage when we were ready to leave."

"It is set out as a Luxury apartment but can't really qualify as such. It is nice, but quite noisy as it is right next to a restaurant with live music. Also quite smelly from all the restaurants' grey water just flowing into the lake outside the windows. The bathroom is also very damp with mold on the walls. Everything else was good though, and the hosts were very responsive."

"This place is across the street from the biggest party place in San Pedro. There is also an air hockey machine right outside the bedroom window that people played at any hour.
I left early and found a quieter hotel. The shower hot water didn’t work, and the toilet stopped having running water- the front desk staff was extremely nice and helpful, the owner was difficult and unpleasant."

"Nice property located very close to the pier and the shore. If you’re a light sleeper, this may not be the best location to stay. We were given earplugs on arrival but we didn’t need them, we were able to sleep well with the music. Internet was ok, most of the time unstable signal. We ended going to nearby restaurants with Starlink to complete some work. Our room was clean, nicely decorated, spacious and with beautiful views of the lake.

"My hotel of preference when I visit Xela, not only for its convenient location, but because the property is beautifully maintained, the customer service is excellent and the rooms are spacious, comfortable and modern."
"beautiful room. i stayed in the suite. i didn’t know the tree in the room was real. there were a few spiders. the bed was comfortable. sink water had a little smell to it. same as the toilet but they provided you was drinkable water. the food was good at the restaurant"
"So magical ✨ Such a beautiful place with wonderful staff! The room was gorgeous with a view of the water and the property is insane with so many places to sit and beautiful foliage.
We felt very welcomed and the staff are very accommodating. We didn’t utilize this but if you need they will hold your luggage for you after you checkout so you can keep enjoying the property! We booked kayaks through the hotel and highly recommend. The view is perfect!
We ate at the restaurant for dinner once and twice for breakfast. The quality was always great! We did enjoy the breakfast more than the dinner if you are choosing just one.
For transportation you can only access the hotel via lancha. Every lancha driver knows Casa del Mundo so they drop you right at the dock. Lanchas stop after sunset so you have to plan accordingly and this can make getting dinner outside the hotel tricky.
The hotel keeps everything on a tab for you and you pay at checkout. They take cash, Venmo, and PayPal so just make sure you are prepared. Can’t recommend staying here enough it was so magical!"
"Rosario and the groundskeeper Pancho were Amazingly helpful and the Location was perfect to visit San Marcos and San Pedro!!! The room was cute and the View was Beautiful :)"
"Great stay. I actually extended it for 4 days. The rooms are good, the pool and the restaurant/bar is nice. It’s very well located. The staff are all friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again!"
