Socialtel in Lake Atitlan was AMAZING! It is a beautiful place, very helpful kind staff, clean, spacious, and in a great location. They have daily activities and you get a free welcome cocktail. My favorite part was breakfast! Where else can you get free breakfast of steak and eggs?! Ooof, elite experience! Will definitely recommend or come back! Thank you so much!

This hotel really captured the summer spirit! The check-in was smooth and welcoming. The welcome cocktail at The Beach bar was a lovely start. The pizza there was just right to keep the summer feeling alive. The outdoor gardens are beautiful, and at night, the lighting creates a bohemian atmosphere. After checking out, I paid to park my car overnight at the hotel so I could head to San Marcos La Laguna for a short stay.

This was a beautiful hotel with excellent service. Note that this hotel chain is very focused on a younger crowd so expect dance music from breakfast onwards in the bar/restaurant as well as lots of ads and evening activities focused on partying. The organized outdoor activities such as hikes and lake tours were great and the staff were very helpful.

The hotel age is apparent, and it would benefit from maintenance. Additionally, some of the promotional images are misleading. I specifically booked this hotel based on picture depicting two hands framing a volcano view; however, this particular viewpoint is not on the premises. It is approximately a 10-minute walk away, and access is coingent upon purchasing a yoga class
