"We stayed at Casa Zacapa this past September for our wedding celebration, and it truly made our entire trip unforgettable. Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful, but having this home as our base took away so much of that pressure—our stay was absolutely seamless from start to finish. ​The host went completely above and beyond. From thoughtful welcome details that made us feel instantly at home to seamless coordination with parking, every detail was handled with care and responsiveness. The house itself has all the amenities you could need, offering comfort, space, and a warm atmosphere. Whenever family and friends stopped by to visit and congratulate us, everyone commented on how beautiful and welcoming the space was. ​On top of the outstanding hospitality, the location couldn't be better. We were just five minutes away from everything local, making errands and meetups effortless throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a comfortable, stress-free stay with exceptional hosting in Zacapa, we highly recommend Casa Zacapa !!"

"We would stay here again. The location is great, just a couple of blocks from the city center and only a 20-minute walk to the ruins entrance. Breakfast was awesome. They made us a nice vegan plate with beans, tortillas, fruit, coffee, and orange juice, which we loved. The AC cranks if you're looking for subarctic temperatures. The shower took a second to warm up, but it was nice and hot. Tip:  The street dogs, most of which are very friendly, meet in front of the building every morning at 6:00 a.m. Before we arrived, the hotel helped us arrange transport to our next destination (Santa Ana on a shuttle for $55 each)."
