Top Hotels Near Tzantizotz Nature Reserve in Santa Cruz La Laguna from NZ$28

"This hostel is a great choice in Santa Cruz. It's right in front of the dock so no rolling your suitcase over rocky paths. It's also a 4 minute walk to the party hostel Free Cerveza if you want to get that energy and use their dock, and a 10 minute walk to nice kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. I stayed in a Private the whole time. The first was Balto and the second was Toliman. Toliman was gorgeous and had a lake view - would be great for a couple. I think I preferred Balto because at night it was cozier and quieter. Family dinner is wonderful at this hostel and such a core part of the experience. I participated every night and loved it. The food was great and the company was amazing. There are also different activities each night and the Open Mic Night is a blast. People from all over the town come for it. The highlight was Sam who was our hiking guide for the sunrise hike. The hike itself was gorgeous; on top of that Sam was really an expert not just with knowledge of the area but also with ensuring our safety and enjoyment. It's technically a short and easyish hike but I have chronic pain and limitations. Sam ensured that I was doing okay, had me hike at the front of the pack to help control the pace, and even gave me cookies because the sugar helps your body. We also learned so many interesting things about the volcanos, the lake and the local Mayan culture."

"We stayed in the panoramic room and it was even better than we imagined. The view from the room was incredible. The bathroom was very clean. The space is open, yet it still felt very private. We felt like we didn’t need to leave to enjoy our time at the lake, but we did venture to neighboring towns around the lake. It is easy to catch the ferry from the public Tzununa dock, which is a 10 min walk or 3 min tuktuk ride away. Each morning and evening you can head to the restaurant for breakfast and dinner eaten with the hotel owners and other guests. The owners were very nice and great cooks. We were first time “glampers” and had a wonderful experience at El Picnic. We would recommend it to everyone. Just be aware that the entire place is on a hill and you must be able to go up and down stairs. There are also some bugs of course, but you are glamping so you must expect it. The bed was warm and there were extra blankets provided in case you need it. We didn’t need it. We also asked the hotel owners to arrange transport to and from the lake, which made our trip planning easier. "

"One of the best hotel experiences ever. The staff is kind and prompt, the food is fresh and delicious, the rooms are stunning, the views are stunning and the grounds of the property are a small paradise. You felt you were in your own little heaven. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – An Unforgettable Stay at Jenna’s BnB! I can’t say enough great things about our experience at Jenna’s B&B. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully handled. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for a romantic getaway — but what truly made our stay exceptional was the incredible service. A huge shoutout to Adrina, who went above and beyond for us. She helped me plan a surprise proposal from beginning to end, coordinating every little detail with so much care and enthusiasm. She made sure we were comfortable, informed, and taken care of throughout our entire stay. Thanks to her guidance and support, the proposal went perfectly — something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a place that feels special, personal, and genuinely cared for, Jenna’s B&B is the place to be. We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. Highly, highly recommended!"

"This spot was booked for our honeymoon. The lake town is vibrant and full of energy. We loved this establishment because it captured the beauty of the lake while allowing us to enjoy our time away from all the noise. The staff here made us feel fantastic and knowing they have a restaurant on site where all the staff get to know your name was fantastic. We went from town to town after our stay here and I wish we stayed in this hotel for the whole time. "

"Good "

"The exterior is why you’re here - the room’s themselves are solid but not standout. Still a great stay overall; highly recommend. "

"Excellent property would totally recommend "
