Weather was cloudy. So the hot water tank had no hot water. Remember it’s not the USA, they don’t have hot water heaters. They have have black tanks on the roof. The pool was also cold. The staff are logistical wizards and super friendly. They make some mean pancakes and eggs for breakfast.

A unique experience not to miss.

Overall we would come back to stay again. There is room for improvement and facility freshening. Our room was mostly comfortable and the air conditioning cold. The included breakfast was good and plentiful. Medelin the manager is outstanding, she is so helpful and eager to please. We would come back just because of her positive attitude. Keep in mind you are staying at a horse ranch. With horse smells and noises outside. None of this bothered us nor did it affect us inside. This was a unique experience that we enjoyed.

We had most memorable time staying in this hotel. The staff did everything to make our stay comfortable, we had very personal treatment. Ranch hotel is a beautiful Spanish-style modern building surrounded by nature with open terraces, hammocks to relax, stalls with horses and lake view. It has a pool but we swim instead every day in pristine waters of the lake with the access right cross the street. Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish, but manager Medelllin is bilingual and help us to arrange our time, helping with tours and providing info about area, restaurants etc. She addressed all our needs and even provided as with sandwiches and snacks when we had to wake up at 3 a.m to go to Tikal for sun-rising tour.The room is in colonial style, big, clean, and air-conditioned. The horses on the ranch are beautiful and we had 3 hours horse riding tour, my first time on horse, but it is unforgettable experience, I felt very comfortable and safe. The view of the lake from the top was fantastic. El Remate is a small village but the area is very accessible: lake, bird watching, restaurants, everything in walking distance. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon.

Super cool hotel

One if the coolest hotels we have ever stayed. Love that the room accommodated a family of 5. Having breakfast included was so nice . Clean pool and beautiful lake were what put this place over the top. Only bad thing I can say was that the beds were hard.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Palomino Ranch hotel. The best part was the hosts and staff. The hotel is safe, secure, clean, and quiet. We enjoyed a horse back ride, which I would highly recommend. The lake is clean and beautiful, we swam in it daily. The pool is also clean and enjoyable. A couple recommendations would be a lamp on the nightstand (only light in the room is a bright chandelier) and a wifi extended to reach the guest rooms (though this may not be an issue for most people, we need wifi to work even while on vacation, sadly). I HIGHLY recommend this hotel!

La peor experiencia que jamas repetiré.

Muy mala experiencia, un hotel descuidado, basura y des aseo por todas partes, reserve para 3 personas con desayuno y tuve que pagar un desayuno por los dias que estuve porque no cubría sino 2 personas y lo peor fue el el recibimiento y atención del encargado del hotel quien siempre estuvo descalzo, sin camisa en pantaloneta con una forma de presentación desagradable y grocera para ser el administrador de un establecimiento donde uno va a descasar con la familia y es en realidad grotesco.

Es un hotel ESPECTACULAR quedamos enamorados del ambiente, del anfitrion Juan Jose, del personal, las habitaciones muy simples pero sumamente acogedoras. Francamente un hotel bello. Si te gustan los caballos disfrutaras viendolos, un muelle de ensueño y un amanecer increible.

Nettes Personal, schöne Lage am See

Wir haben zwei Nächte verbracht. Das Zimmer war okay, sauber, die Betten bequem und die Dusche bietete genügend Warmwasser und Druck. Der Pool war nicht gerade einladend, das Wasser dreckig, der Allgemeinzustand renovationsbedürftig. Ein Nachtessen haben wir im Hotel eingenommen und schmeckte überraschend gut, ebenso kriegt man zum Frühstück eine leckere Eierspeise. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Eine Tour in den Nationalpark Tikal kann an der Rezeption gebucht werden. Die gesamte Hotelanlage wirkt ein bisschen verbraucht und hätte ein Facelifting nötig. Auch als keine Pferdenarren hat uns aber das Ranch Konzept gefallen, jedoch stimmte das Preisleistungsverhältnis (im aktuellen Zustand der Hotelanlage) aus unserer Sicht überhaupt nicht! Gegenüber vom Hotel befindet sich ein Holzsteg, von dort aus kann man den wunderschönen Sonnenuntergang am Lago Peten Itza geniessen.

Peaceful Palomino

When I think back on my trip to Guatemala, one of the pictures that comes to mind are the beautiful flowers sweeping across the walkway at the Palomino Ranch Hotel. The setting here was lovely and serene. The kindness and helpfulness of the proprietor and his staff was exceptional. The food was delicious and we enjoyed huevos rancheros breakfast on the house. The pool was lovely and was open early and stayed open late into the evening with beautiful foliage all around. With its Western theme including stables, I took advantage of a horseback ride through the countryside with an outstanding kindhearted guide who pointed out the wildlife and assisted me with saddling on and off. The proprietor arranged my tour to Tikal which is very close to the hotel. I highly recommend staying at this hotel on a quiet part of the lake and if I am ever able to visit the Flores area again, I will definitely stay at the Palomino Ranch Hotel.
