Their exquisite meals were served in an open air bar high up overlooking the lake and volcanos in the distance. We would not hesitate to recommend this unique property with its open air rooms. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alejandro Apr 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a true gem hidden in the jungle of Lake Atlitlan ##### Alejandro Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nery Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is an excellent place if you want to disconnect from the city, the landscapes are impressive ##### Nery Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francisco Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staying at The Picnic Hotel in Tzununa was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we arrived, the owner and staff welcomed us with such warmth and friendliness that it felt like coming home. Their hospitality made our stay incredibly personal and special. The hotel is nestled right in the heart of nature, offering a peaceful, grounding atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the volcano and overlooking the serene Lake Atitlán was nothing short of magical. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and truly appreciate the beauty around you. If you’re looking for an authentic, soul-nourishing escape in Guatemala, The Picnic Hotel is it. Highly recommended! ##### Francisco Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josephine Dec 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El Picnic is a magical, unique, once-in-a-lifetime stay! We booked the honeymoon suite (worth the extra!) and were pinching ourselves every day we woke up at the magnificent view and nature. The bed was super comfortable. Our hosts, Gaby and Johan were so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Thank you for creating a little paradise! ##### Josephine Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bilal Jun 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities You could write a book on all the wonderful things about El Picnic. Jochen&Gaby have crafted a serene and beautiful experience with some of the most amazing views of Lake Atitlan. Stellar views, thoughtfully designed rooms, relaxing lounge area, and delicious meals. It's a glamping experience that provides a great hub for checking out the other lake towns. Easy to get around via tuktuk or the ferry. Gaby was also so incredibly helpful and always available for any questions, suggestions or booking help. Jochen is modest about his culinary skills but they were plated beautifully, great portions and above all delicious. The mental recharge you get from the well maintained and beautiful grounds is unparalleled. Only word of advice is that bags with shoulder straps are prefered because there are steps and its easier to climb without rolling luggages. Do yourself the favor and book this amazing retreat with picture perfect views of the lake. ##### Bilal Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is beautiful.

Waking up to views of lake atitlan was a highlight of our trip. The service, food, and property were great. The town is not as great, it wasn’t a town at the top of my list to explore while in the area, but visiting El Picnic for a night was an unforgettable experience and definitely a highlight of our visit to the lake overall. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aditi Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities LOVED our stay at this property!! The room was so unique and had absolutely stunning views of the lake. It was also furnished and decorated well. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and we had a good time chatting with the other guests and the owners. I wish we stayed longer than one night! Would highly recommend El Picnic to those visiting the lake - it’s an incredible experience. ##### Aditi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian May 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Jorges was great really welcoming and friendly.

Gaby and Jochen were wonderful hosts, making us feel at home immediately and throughout our 3-nights stay. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious and accompanied by great conversations with our hosts and the other guests. Time passed much too quickly, as there is so much to see and explore on and around the lake. ##### Dominik ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tonya Dec 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If you want to wake up to the most beautiful view of Lake Atitlan and connect with nature you have to stay at El Picnic. We had the most amazing two night stay there. The food and drinks were top notch - Johan is an excellent chef. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinner with Johan, Gaby and the other couples. We just happened to be there during a meteor shower too and we saw 10 shooting stars from our patio. It was perfect! The two resident dogs were sweet and greeted us every day. The walk to the boat doc is only about 10 minutes (or you can take a quick tuktuk) so you can easily explore the towns around the lake. I’m so thankful we found this hidden gem. ##### Tonya Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the views from our room, it’s always great to have then owners caring for the guests.
