WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel is the height of luxury in the Peten, a charming eco-retreat and 300-acre private nature reserve overlooking the Quexil Lagoon. Here, modern architecture melds seamlessly with the surrounding tropical rainforest and beautiful lake views to give guests an oasis of peace and tranquillity broken only by birdsong and the chorus of resident wildlife. The rooms overlook the forest or lake (or both!) and are housed in freestanding, wooden bungalows each offering an abundance of space and light. The in-house Shultun restaurant offers indoor/outdoor dining with sweeping views across the lake and delivers signature Guatemalan flavours using international techniques. The main lodge also houses a comfortable lounge that opens onto the deck and half moon infinity pool ringed with loungers. The magnificent site of Tikal lies over an hour away but stick to the reserve and you can enjoy guided wildlife, biking and kayaking tours or simply take advantage of the spa and wellness centre. There is even an on-site museum hosting archaeological pieces from the surrounding Maya Biosphere Reserve. Las Lagunas is the most comfortable option in the area and the perfect spot to wind down after a busy itinerary.
