"Beautiful hotel with amazing gardens! Delicious food at the restaurant! Great service. The front desk arranged for a ride for us to Panajachel after we missed the ferry. Such an amazing, relaxing place! "
"The view and entire ambience was so beautiful, staff were kind and welcoming. The rooms are very basic but clean and comfortable but the view of lake Atitlan from my room was divine! That made up for the room being basic . "
"It was a great experience. The host was great communicating and really helpful. The property is walking distance from the pier and from the main area of respaurants and also really close to the Nature Reserve Park. I recommend :) "
"Fantastic place! We stayed for two weeks while my daughter was volunteering nearby. Comfortable, clean, excellent food and they went above and beyond to take care of anything we needed. "
"You could write a book on all the wonderful things about El Picnic.
Jochen&Gaby have crafted a serene and beautiful experience with some of the most amazing views of Lake Atitlan.
Stellar views, thoughtfully designed rooms, relaxing lounge area, and delicious meals.
It's a glamping experience that provides a great hub for checking out the other lake towns. Easy to get around via tuktuk or the ferry.
Gaby was also so incredibly helpful and always available for any questions, suggestions or...
"Visitors must be aware of the steep, difficult climb from the main road. Fit folx in their 20s and 30s won't be too fussed, but we're pretty fit for our 50s and it was a real effort. Handrails leading up to the yurts would make an excellent safety addition.
We stayed in the top yurt (#4) and the views are tremendous and worth the big climb. We requested breakfast delivery in the am and it arrived on time! Delicious.
Recommend this relatively new destination!"
