Lodges in Panajachel

Truly, truly, truly amazing. The views, the staff, the food, the rooms were excellent. Could live there forever 😀

I had a small room for myself and it was really comfy! the room was really clean and the owners were soo nice! I can highly recommend to stay there!

It's such a beautiful and tranquil place. The breakfast was delicious and the views amazing.

My husband and I stayed at Casa Awanima in January. The road to Casa Awanima is not to be called a road, but a concoction of rocks and dirt. But once you enter through the gate, you are in a completely different world of calm, relaxation, and joy. It is so remarkable how Kenzie (absolutely wonderful host and the owner) made the piece of jungle into a piece of paradise. We stayed in the main house. The room has a huge balcony with a hammock and chairs, and most importantly the phenomenal view of the lake and surrounding volcanos. Even from your bed you can enjoy the perfect view of a sunrise on the lake. The room has a toilet and a sink. There is an outside shower that you reach by crossing an open door kitchen. Yes, it might be quite surprising for many of us- the kitchen has all the parts of the true kitchen, but it is fully open to the outside, no doors. If you want to make your own meal, all is at your disposal. But you also can indulge into fantastic local cuisine for breakfast and lunch enjoying wonderful view of garden, lake and volcano. The garden- it is so well maintained and so rich in various plants and herbs (which you can use for your morning omlet or cup of herbal tea) that you do not need to leave the property if you just want to relax and enjoy the day. There is beautiful deck for yoga and the best part - the sauna and a cold plunge which you can enjoy in a complete privacy. I booked this place for three nights without having prior reviews, and I am so happy to say that it exceeded my expectations. Five stars honestly!
