Hotel Casa Palopo

Everything! Staff, installation, details, food, pool, etc

Nothing

The property is absolutely gorgeous, the staff is attentive and the restaurants are spectacular

It is a bit far from the main attractions, the public transport system doesn’t reach it so you need to coordinate a private boat to visit the towns. The breakfast included is just fruit and bread, if you want anything with sustenance you have to buy it a la carte.

A beautiful hotel, the details and design of the hotel made it a little like heaven. Watching the sunset over Lake Atitilan with lightning dancing in the sky was magical. The staff were fantastic,

The staff was very friendly and the highlight of my stay! The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very cute. I loved the paint kit they provided. Gorgeous landscaping on the property. Kinnik restaurant was incredible.

The location is very far from everything and all the food is extremely over priced on the property. I was also expecting to have air conditioning in the room, especially considering the price point. My shower was dirty and had some sand on the floor and bugs on my floor and soap holder. There’s no place to fill up any water bottles yourself ( I drink a lot of water) so I had to keep messaging and asking for more water to my room. There is nothing walkable except Kinnik, so be prepared to just stay put. There are no TVs in the room either and an extremely small not well stocked gym. They told me there was a hot tub and another pool, but no one ever showed me where it was they just kept pointing and I tried looking for it for an hour one night and never found it. Over all, disappointed with my stay and wouldn’t recommend. For the same price point there are way better options! But if you just want to lay back and bird watch this is a perfect spot. Everything is way over priced though be prepared. I asked about a yoga class and they said it would be $185USD. I’ve been all over the world and I have never heard such an obnoxious price in any other country. Same for their cooking class. Just go into town and you can take one for 30-40$USD at this place it was almost $200. I just don’t like feeling like a place is milking me for money. Also at the end of my stay they added on an extra charge that they said they give back to the community. I had asked them to remove it, I just buy local goods that’s how I give back to the community. They didn’t remove the charge and it was another situation where I felt taken advantage of here. Very disappointing overall.
