Xeabaj II : locations de vacances

My colleague and I came for a work trip but also had a few days to relax and enjoy San Marcos. We truly had a gem in paradise with tremendous views and peaceful decor on the inside. Augustus was so helpful with everything and made us feel right at home.

We had a beautiful stay at Casa Paloma. The pictures truly do resemble the gorgeous location and it was a bit of peace we needed. The amenities such as the yoga platform, sauna & private dock were great. We also LOVED the food for breakfast and dinner and would recommend utilizing that. I will say we encountered some scorpions but that's a part of it! We felt lucky to wake up with that view everyday :)

All the good things!! Leisa is very proactive and highly responsive. When staying in a remote place, that is incredibly helpful. The house itself is exactly as described, but the pictures do not do it justice! The garden is awe-inspiring. It is not my first trip to Guatemala and I saw several plants I hadn’t seen before! Each room has doors that open into the garden. We were only there for three days, but I could have lived there! The kitchen is fully equipped - I saw several gadgets in there. Thank you again!!!

The view of the lake was spectacular, the bed was very comfortable, and the house had everything we needed. It’s about a 10-minute walk to town - close enough for convenience, but far enough away to feel a bit separate from the bustle of San Marcos. Although the gate is right off the road, it’s sat down away from the road so that you don’t hear any road noise. Mary is an excellent host, very personable, responsive, and knowledgeable about the area. Her guidebook of activities and restaurants is amazing. She suggested some lovely local hikes for us that were off the beaten path. The kitchen is adequate for light cooking, which is all we needed for a shorter stay. The neighborhood is not the quietest, as it’s fairly dense. There’s construction going on starting early in the morning, and often music or parties nearby at night (but they did not go late). But I think that would be true anywhere in San Marcos with a view of the lake. Overall it was a great spot for our trip to Atitlan.

We absolutely loved our stay - the views are unreal, it was so beautiful to wake up every morning and drink coffee while overlooking the lake. Our kids had a great time exploring the property and swimming in the pool that was the perfect temperature. The hot tub had the perfect view of the volcano and was super relaxing. Great location, and Eliseo was so helpful. Can’t wait to come back someday!

The house is very beautiful. A lovely design and filled with beautiful touches and artwork. An amazing view off the veranda, and the gardens are relaxing and full of birds. We all enjoyed the clean pool very much too. Overall it was an amazing place to relax and recharge. There is a walk up to the local village of Santa Clara or tuk tuks to take you up the hill, and the village has a produce market on Saturdays. We also recommend CECAP for great meals with the best view, as well as fair trade traditional handicrafts. It was easy to get a boat at the public dock. It’s probably easiest to arrange your own driver and boat to the private dock as then it’s easy to contact them if they do not turn up or know where to go (problems we had through no fault of the host). Definitely shop in Pana as the shops are very small in Santa Clara. Be aware it was hazy every day for 6 days and apparently this is common in April (or other months too?) because of cane burning. However, the advantage of the

This was a beautiful spot! the view really was incredible. The place was clean and well equipped, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. as a few other reviews said, there is a restaurant next door that played loud music in the evening, but it was always over by 9:30pm so it didn't affect our sleep.

Jorge was an amazing host and must try if staying in Lake Atitlan. Ill start off by saying the process was smooth, I was coming in from Panajachel which, Jorge also assisted with the Private boat ride to the private dock right in front of the property which by the way was an amazing experience and view just to get to the property. When pulling up to the dock housekeeper was waiting for us to welcome us and show us the property, house keeper also provided some wood for the fireplace which we used on two separate nights. I felt bad at times because how often I would reach out to Jorge for recommendations and assistance for things that were local, he literally treated our group like a resort concierge but he didn't mind and was very helpful and responsive. Overall the stay was an amazing experience and would definitely go back. Jorge was an amazing house and Thanks again.

Les membres de la famille Magri sont tellement gentils et accueillants. Gerson m'a accueilli à mon arrivée et a été présent très rapidement en cas de besoin. Le logement est charmant et bien entretenu. La cuisine est bien équipée et fonctionnelle, il y a de l'eau purifiée et le nécessaire de base: sel, poivre, huile d'olive, vinaigne balsamique. La famille a un excellent restaurant italien juste en face, bistro Isabela.
