Maravillosa experiencia en Santiago Atitlán

Hermoso lugar situado en frente del lago de Atitlán. El personal del hotel Bambú cuenta con excelente servicio, la comida es deliciosa y el lugar cuenta con hermosos jardines, una piscina que la mantienen muy bien, y unas vistas espectaculares desde el área del restaurante al lago. Nuestro viaje fue de un grupo familiar y quedamos invitados a regresar.

Lo mejor es el servicio de su gente, muy amables y listos para ayudar. La tranquilidad del lugar. Para escaparte unos dias y realmente descansar. Sugeriria incorporar ventiladores o aire acondicionado. Fui en verano y el calor soportable pero hubiese sido mejor con aire. Bien cuidado, solo un comentario...en mi habitacion habia hormigas muy muy pequeñitas, que a lo mejor fumigando no existieran.

Nice hotel, quiet and very zen. The grounds are simply perfect with lush gardens, the pool, the spa and the sauna. The staff is professional, pleasant and helpful. We had a little mishap at the restaurant, but they resolved it perfectly. The only minor downside is the rusticity of the room, but it didn’t bother us that much since the rest was so nice.

Atitlan lake is one of the only places that you feel peace and quiet but hotel bamboo is a perfect place to enjoy everything. We love to come with the entire family to enjoy the nature and the good food of the hotel. We strongly recommend this place for everyone who love to be surrounded by nature.

Our experience overall was outstanding and the grounds were incredibly beautiful. The only complaint was the pool was quite chilly, which was a bit disappointing for our kids.

Peaceful hotel on the shore of Atitlan Lago.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we arrived late in the day, the staff were rushed off their feet working for a wedding. One of the staff quickly came to help us check in and organised a pizza for us as it was all the kitchen could manage. We sat at a table outside right next to the lake - a beautiful place for a restaurant. The gardens were very peaceful and we spent much time on our verandah watching the humming birds. There was a hot spa and an outdoor pool, the use of both were great ways to get over the long walks that we took each day.

Santiago Atitlan visit.

Very nice, comfortable property. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Two times they helped me find a place to watch the MLB playoffs. I am an early riser and each morning I was served coffee earlier than the restaurant opened.

Not great

The staff was great! However, they could not make up for the mold covered bathroom or the rock hard bed. The location is not great. Not too many choices for restaurants. We do not recommend this side of the lake.

Nice hotel with a beautifull park near the lake.

Very nice, relaxing place. Huge garden with a great swimming pool. Restaurant is good and comfortable with poosibility to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff is working hard to give you a nice vacation. We like Santiago more than Panajachel, it's less crowdy and more authentic.

Nice hotel, needs some love

First off the hotel is outside of town and is quiet. Situated on a beautiful lake with stunning views. The gardening is gorgeous and the pool, hot tub, sauna, and restaurant are nice. Staff are wonderful as well. That said, the hotel could use some love. There's a bit of mold in the bathroom and things are a bit outdated. No safe or hair dryer on the room. Overall the hotel is still good to stay at but could be stellar if they put a little love into it.

What a wonderful place.

This place was absolute luxury from the top notch customer service to the outdoor hot tub. We loved being able to relax at this hotel and they even arranged a boat back to Pana right up to their dock.

Beautiful spot on Lake Atitlan

This is a beautiful hotel just outside Santiago Atitlan with it's own dock. A little challenging to get to from Antigua. You have to take a car to Panajachel and then a boat, but totally worth it. Hot tub, pool, lovely gardens and great kayaking. Restaurant is pleasant but best food in town is Posada de Santiago.

La comida y el servicio es bueno. El personal atento. Hay cosas que no son convenientes como el no poner jabon en el cuarto. Unicamente dejan shower gel aun en el lavamanos. Las camas muy duras pata mi gusto. El paisaje es fabuloso.
