Three star rating because there were more cons than pros. Pros: the lake views, the relaxation and unwinding, lake access. Cons: Location - almost “private”, away from main town (you can walk to two towns from the location), pretty much stuck there after a certain hour if you don’t want to pay extra for a private boat to go to another town or to get back Room: Tiny, cluttered, no TV, no AC, lighting was horrible (on the plus side; no scorpions or spiders in my room during my stay) Not handicap accessible. Steep stairs. I didn’t mind but beware because those stairs are the only way up and down. Food: if stuck in the hotel, they offer food but it is not the best. Not even average. Got food poisoning my last night there from my last meal there. Had the sesame fish sticks with salad and rice. I wouldn’t stay here again for all those cons. But I would however pay for a DAY PASS (50 quetzales) to enjoy the views and relaxation spots all over the hotel for the day.

Beautiful hotel but terrible room.
I would love to give this place 5 stars, it is objectively an extremely beautiful location, however the room that we were shown was quite honestly shockingly bad. We booked a standard room that does not have an en suite. The room they showed us backed directly onto the restaurant (with a shared window that had to remain curtained at all times), the only bathrooms being through the restaurant and two flights of stairs away. I can’t imagine anyone who would be happy with this arrangement, having to scooch past people having their breakfast to use the bathroom first thing in the morning. We asked if there were any other rooms and it seemed as though they were expecting this complaint. The staff here are lovely but whoever designed this room was not thinking of the guests. So I would stay again, but I would call beforehand to ensure I was not in room 5. I am not sure whether any of the other rooms are equally poorly designed.

A really cool property. Nothing is included though (kayaks aren't included, breakfast isn't included...). For the price you pay, it seems a little odd. I would still recommend, but just for one night.

It’s a beautiful property, a great part of the lake. The staff were always super friendly and helpful, many of them spoke English and the ones that didn’t were very patient with our sub-par Spanish, excellent at charades. The restaurant was nice, well priced and plenty of delicious options. We liked the communal feel with everyone in the hotel having to eat there, it was super cozy. My only note is that I would’ve liked a few more lights along the paths at night since it was very dark and slippery in the rain season, but, with flashlights it wasn’t too bad. Very beautiful resort, we enjoyed our time immensely

Its undeniable that this hotel is located in an amazing location and is a stunner. The rooms are humble but have the basics you need. We walked to the nearby town but it wasn't worth it. I would recommend taking the boat instead and explore the other charming towns nearby. Here are 2 things that I wish I knew earlier. The hot tub needs to be reserved but if you get a spot when the sun goes down, you will sit in complete darkness. The food at the restaurant costs the same as in the US. We paid on average $15 per meal. There aren't other options as the boats don't run past a certain hour. Additionally, be prepared to commute 5 hours to the airport. We spent $135 on a private shuttle. Uber is unreliable but you can use a shared shuttle if time is not of the essence.

Breathtaking
Casa del Mundo was a wonderful surprise. The place is breathtaking in all senses. Wonderful views of the lake and volcanos, and also many stairs that when you get to to room you are out of breath. But totally worth it. The food is excellent!!! And the service very good. The gardens and decorations are beautiful. A place I will definitely will return.

Absolutely stunning property. Arriving to the main dock and seeing the hotel will take your breath away. While it's one of the most gorgeous hotels I've been in, it certainly is not the most comfortable. I would still recommend this to anyone who doesn't mind less-than-ideal amenities. There are a small number of public showers that you must share with the other guests. There are also only shared bathrooms. Your bedroom is essentially a small room with just a bed and a small table. It wasn't the most comfortable sleep, and we weren't able to open the windows since there was so screen and some bugs outside. The best part is getting out of the bedroom and taking in the sights around you. There are hammocks, lounge chairs, hideaways all over the hotel to just sit back and read a book or take a dip in the lake.

The view is outstanding. And the workers on property were very helpful. But for the price the room was small, and bugs were prominent, even for Guat stays. Internet was virtually non-existent. For us, there was much better value for the price elsewhere

What a view! Very cool and unique property! You feel like you are in your own little world! The food is delicious in the cafe, the staff is friendly and accommodating, the decor is is filled with local art and woven bedding all with informational placards about the artists, the beautiful landscaping and florals are also all noted with placards making a simple walk through the property an educational adventure! The swimming area in the Lake is so delightful and the sauna and hot tub under the stars is a dream! Early morning is the best time for a swim, kayak or SUP when the lake is flat and crystal clear! It is so convenient that you can take a public boat right from the property dock to any of the neighboring villages at just a few dollars each way! I would definitely stay here again and again! :)
