Don't be afraid to take the tourist buses. They are inexpensive, relatively safe, and provide an opportunity to meet some very interesting people.

Hotel

There are simple sleeping rooms in a quiet, secure building. The owner and his brother are your hosts. The service is unobtrusive. There is nothing fancy about this place, but it has great access to everything. The central market is right across the street. The shower has hot water, but it uses an electric heater and is not what we US citizens expect.

Hotel

Our room was small but clean and very safe. We had hot running shower, which my wife really appreciated. The entrance was secure and there was a pleasant patio where one could sit.

Casa del MundoBest of IgoUgo

Hotel

Heavenly. This is one place I highly recommend if you get anywhere near Panajachel. It is quiet and remote. I spent an afternoon sitting and napping in a hammock as I looked out over Lake Atitlan. A wonderful experience that included family-style dining. A great way to meet people from all over the world.
