Quetzaltenango : locations de vacances avec petit déjeuner

Es un lugar muy tranquilo e increíble para conocer, el equipo es muy amable y muy amigables, se siente como estar en casa. Las instalaciones son únicas y el hecho que sea sustentable hace la experiencia diferente a un hostal normal! Espero volver algún día de nuevo!

this stay in Totonicapán was truly something unique and life changing. Carlos and his whole family are pillars of their community who strongly advocate for the preservation of the local K'iche cultural and linguistic heritage, artistry, and traditional agrarian lifestyle. While I was with the Chaclan family, I felt so honored to bear witness to the traditions of their community, and their eager willingness to introduce me to their way of life was something unlike I had ever experienced beforehand. after this visit, I plan to come back to Totonicapán periodically to further study the area. I encourage any visitor to the Guatemalan highlands curious about the local traditions to book a stay with this family, as they will ensure you are taken care of as a member of their own household, and provide you with information about anything on the area that piques your curiosity.

This location is part of Xela-AID. everything about it is perfect. Breakfast is served buffet style. The staff are incredibly friendly and very helpful. Staying here will give you the opportunity to experience highland culture in comfort. You will also be abke to interact with the local population as you wander the narrow streets of San Martin, observe Mam women weaving, children playing, and so much more including an excursion to Laguna Chicabal which shouldn't be missed. I can't wait to return to this special place. And I must emphasize again the wonderful hospitality!

I booked 3 rooms for 5 people. we all collaborated on the reviews we wanted to write so this review may look like another one. Eco-guest house is part of Xela-AID. Everything about it is perfect.

This is one of those out-of-the-way gems and it happens to be for a good cause, too. We were looking to climb to the sacred lake Chikabal early in the morning to get the best views and stay cool and so wanted to get closer than Quetzaltenango (It can be a 40-miniute or more drive in depending on traffic). This popped up as a much-closer alternative, and had great reviews on food and location so we grabbed it and were not sorry. As it turned out, it is part of the "Xela AID Complex" which serves the local indigenous community with a number of services. The cool thing about that is that because of that, we got to meet local children, too. They were super-inquisitive about who we were and where we were going to hike. Fun to practice our Spanish with them! This accommodation had excellent food, excellent service, nice people (we met Fernanda, Maria Julia and Alberto). Fernanda ran the restaurant ("El Comal") and got us off bright and early on our climb with sack lunches she prepared for us which was great because we were hungry once we got to the top. It is a several hour climb, great payoutt (worth the 500 or more steps we walked up and down!) Glad we took the time to see this, stayed over two nights in order not to rush. We were surprised to find such a well outfitted place in this rural community and are sending friends there later in the summer who also want to climb to the crater lake and maybe take weaving lessons. There is a great little free-trade cooperative, by the way, if you want to buy weavings from the actual artists. Great place! We loved it!

Eine tolle Option für einen Aufenthalt in der wunderschönen Bergregion bei Quetzaltenango. Der Empfang durch die Leute vom Hotel war äußerst freundlich und die Zimmer sind hell, geräumig, schön dekoriert und sehr klug mit kleinen Details ausgestattet. Tolle Aussicht! In jeder Hinsicht merkt man, wie ambitioniert die Leute hinter dem Projekt stehen, zu dem das Hotel gehört. Wir sind leider nur eine Nacht auf der Durchreise geblieben, haben uns aber fest vorgenommen, wiederzukommen. Hier kann man Guatemala ganz von innen kennenlernen :) Ein herzliches Dankeschön!
