This place is spectacular in every way. Rooms are amazing. Staff are incredible. Food is delicious. This was our final stop of a two week journey to Guatemala. It was a wonderful ending to a fantastic trip. Carlos, Michelle, and Milton, among many others made this an experience to remember. If you’re looking for a small, quiet place to rest, relax, and enjoy the area, select a room now. You’ll not be disappointed.

Fantastic stay in all respects — the staff, carefully curated rooms and amenities, proximity to and availability of activities able to be seamlessly arranged, and the serene and secluded location were spectacular. Our stay at La Lancha was a truly special experience unlike any other we have experienced worldwide.

Fabulous hotel with unbelievable staff that go above and beyond in every respect! There is a great pool and a lakefront with amenities including SUP, and kayaks. The included continental breakfast is fabulous, as are the lunches and dinners. The sauna is a must. This is the perfect base for exploring the Mayan ruins and Flores Island.

The hotel is well designed. Rooms are cute and clean. Staff is amazing! Very relaxing environment right on lake Peten. You are definitely out there. So plan on having most of your meals at the resort. They did arrange for us to go to Tikal and Flores. Our guide to Tikal was amazing. I highly recommend this spot! Would absolutely go back.

What an amazing place. From the location to the staff to the natural environment and facilities, La Lancha is top notch. We had a large group (four families each with children) and La Lancha staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating for our group. We look forward to staying there again soon!

Beautiful hotel on the shore of a beautiful lake. Facilities are excellent, comfortable, even too perfect. Staff is super friendly and will help all your needs. My daughters (8 and 10) ranked it in their top 3 hotels they have visited because they had so much fun, especially in the lake and pool. Very recommended.

La Lancha Hotel is truly a gem. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed—warm, attentive, and always one step ahead without ever being intrusive. The attention to detail throughout the property is exceptional, with thoughtful touches everywhere that make the stay feel special and personal. What really stands out is their commitment to being truly eco-friendly, not just in words but in practice, while still offering comfort and quality at every level. Every interaction with the team reflected pride in their work and a genuine desire to ensure guests are comfortable and happy. Combined with the stunning natural setting and peaceful atmosphere, La Lancha delivers an experience that feels authentic, responsible, and memorable. We left already looking forward to returning.

I loved that the "room" was not connected to others and the location was not on the path to the restaurant, etc. The room was beautifully decorated and looked out to the vista. The staff and restaurant personnel were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We went on several excursions - to Tikal one day and the boat launch to Flores the next day - and the details were smooth and effortless.

Beautiful property on the lake and our room felt like a private escape. Excellent service with the staff going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and inquiring about our daily activities. They even packed breakfast for us when we left early for the Tikal sunrise tour and for the airport. My only minus was that I thought the food was slightly overpriced and some of the dishes lacked flavor. But overall it was great experience!

Lovely overall. Bed great but too big for room size and too high. Lunch and dinner service often slow.

The property is beautiful. We saw a lake otter, a crocodile and howler monkeys as well as many birds while visiting there and on the lake. The Lake View I room was much more than we expected. Two bathrooms!! One down side, maybe, are the steps. Eighty four from our room to the dining room and forty five to the pool. On the other hand we worked off our meals.

La Lancha is a beautiful place to rest and regroup. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a honeymoon. We were a little frustrated by the distance from normal amenities (alternative laundry services ie restaurants), but La Lancha is a perfect place to relax for a few days if you can afford US ñ-type prices on food. The food was exquisite. Some of the best we had in Guatemala in a month. The service was beyond perfect. We loved all of the staff. The room was lovely and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The lake and rope swing were fun. Monkeys greeted us the first morning. I would go bank for a special occasion.

The property is unbelievable! This is in an excellent location, very convenient for exploring Tikal. The lake side set up is beautiful with a dock and lounge area. They also provide boating transportation, kayaks, life jackets, basically anything you can need for the lake. There’s even a handicapped accessible elevator that can take you down to the lake if you have issues with steep steps. The pool side was awesome equipped with umbrellas and loungers. The restaurant served excellent food. The bar and drinks were amazing. The service was absolutely incredible, top notch. The room itself was nice with a working AC unit, ceiling fan, and mini fridge stocked. The bathroom was nice with a size-able shower with hot water. Overall, I was very impressed with this hotel. 100/10 rating.

La Lancha is an amazing place to stay if you like nature. We enjoyed every minute during our stay. The staff is very accommodating and provides excellent customer service. We enjoyed the sauna (temascal), swam in the lake and the hotel crew helped us coordinate a boat sunset trip to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The sauna and boat is at an additional cost but is definitely worthy, They offer free continental breakfast and the food is good! We rented a car in Peten which gave us the freedom of enjoying the whole area. But if you just want to enjoy the hotel is a good option too, its very relaxing, there’s a swimming pool and a mirador with a beautiful the lake view.there’s a lot of stars and it’s tiresome sometimes to go up and down but it was part of the experience that made it unique.. we did not have to worry about working out lol!

4/10 Fair

Hotel is beautiful, staff is friendly. But the food was not very good, and extremely overpriced for Guatemala. The breakfast menu was pretty large, for example, but the only "inlcuded" breakfasts were either yogurt, fruit, and granola, or 1 egg and toast. My husband asked for another egg and was told he would be charged. For dinner, the menu prices were insane, the portions were small, and the food wasn't great. I ordered a few of the vegetarian meals and one night I got a baked potato that was supposed to have grilled veggies on it for no joke-$30. It came with 2 tiny potatoes with maybe 1 Tablespoon of finely chopped (not grilled) veggies and the potatoes were raw in the middle. I had to ask for some tortillas because I was starving. My husband got a $40 steak that was small, just ok, and came with a side of chips with guac. and rice. And the problem was that the hotel is pretty far from the town so there weren't other options.
