Really exceptionnal location ! The lake can be your pool. Magical !!
Only thing the isolation is not good. So next day it was not possible to have a nap. Other than that, be prepare to pay by cash.
Hotel was beautiful, however it is isolated. Has restaurant on site but otherwise you need to take a boat to all activities. Boats are easy and cheap, but inconvenient if you enjoy any sort of late dining or want to experience any night life. Views at this hotel are truly amazing but be prepared to hike up a lot of stairs. Our room did not have AC or a fan- it was able to cool down enough for us to sleep (in December) but would be weary to stay here during hotter summer months. Staff was friendly and helpful
Our experience in La casa del mundo was amazing. Friendly staff, good amenities and great price for one of the most beautiful hotels we've been to

This property was beautiful. The location was ideal and so easy to visit the little towns around the lake by public boat. You could make it anywhere around the laje in under 10 minutes. The staff was amazing, food was great, the views were stunning. Everything had so much character. We had the best time and we'd love to go back.
I loved staying at Casa del Mundo. I had a birthday to celebrate I requested to decorate a table for extra charge. I called them and they planned everything to perfection. A variety of flowers on table, candles and petals on the floors. So romantic! I am so satisfied with their service. Amazing views. Worth every penny I paid . Thank you to all Casa del Mundo Staff. I’ll definitely come back.
The most beautiful place! The landscaping is absolutely stunning and there are so many little private nooks to relax. The food is a bit bland and overpriced, we walked to Jaibalito for better ans cheaper food.
Casa Del Mundo is very beautiful and clean. The staff and the manager are very nice and works efficiently with passion. We enjoyed our stay a lot. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for nature, relaxation and great service. It was worth it!
Love this property .. it’s relaxing , quiet , good food ..amazing view .. staff are great ..
but the stairs makes my sore legs and knees more esp after all hiking and volcano trekking !
I fell in love with this property. It has the most amazing views and hammocks at your disposal. There’s so many amenities to enjoy and the food at the restaurant was amazing. Very convenient and the staff was my favorite part. They were very sweet and super helpful.
Pictures don’t do it justice. Situated in the side of the mountain, lots of steps so if you have mobility issues I would not recommend. Seating areas throughout the hotel which was great for us to catch the lightening storm. I wound up sick and wish I had felt better to do more exploring. Love that there is a path from the hotel to walk to Santa Cruz and jaibalitos. If you’re planning on any water activities morning is the best time.
The hotel is beautiful and the staff were more than amazing. The only thing we didn’t like how you still have to pay for every single amenity. The food was really good but also super super pricey.
One of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever stayed at. I love how eco friendly it was and the plant identification cards all over. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and swimming in the lake was so refreshing. I had such a lovely stay here and I will surely be back again!
Staying at Casa del Mundo was a unique and memorable experience. The hotel has its own stop so transportation on the lanchas is convenient. It’s located a few stops away from other towns on the lake, and as it’s more secluded that other hotels, it’s relaxing and quiet. During the day you can visit other towns and experience nature, great food, and culture, then come back in the evening to decompress.
This was one of my favorite hotel stays in 30 years of global travel. I’m a budget traveler that values natural beauty and unique locations over fancy amenities or 5 star service, so that’s my reference point. La Casa del Mundo is located on a beautiful part of Lake Atitlan with amazing views throughout the day and night. Being on a cliff, you’ll walk up and down a lot of stairs, but there are many places to have a seat and enjoy the views while you catch your breath (if needed). Also, being on a cliff, there were several jumping spots into the lake.
My wife and I walked to both close villages and enjoyed slightly cheaper options on those excursions.
The staff were very service minded and spoke much better English than my limited Spanish. Also, though we stayed in a budget room with a shared bathroom 10 feet away, it was no problem. Also, the shower was a separate room than the toilet so that made sharing very easy.
Lastly, the grounds are beautiful and my wife and I took scores of amazing photos of the grounds and the views of the lake and volcanoes.
It’s a bit remote to get to, but if you’re game for getting a bit off the beaten path and are able bodied to handle a lot of stairs, I highly recommend La Casa del Mundo!
