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.

What a treat to have stayed in this hotel in the middle of the jungle and with a beautiful lake Peten Itza view. Tranquility at its best! Great location to head out to Tokal.

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.

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

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!

Incredible!
This resort is incredible and the service is fantastic! We took the boat from the airport to the resort and we were greeted with welcome drinks and a candle lite dock. Then we rode the funicular up to the resort. The meals were delicious! The setting was magical!

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!

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.

A beautiful boutique hotel experience in a jungle setting. Very attentive staff. It is remote so no where to walk to but most people do excursions during the day. Food was very good. Just be aware that food and drink prices are US/Cdn levels, not Guatemalan. That's the main trade off for staying in such a beautiful place. There is also a resident family of spider monkeys which made the experience unique.

Magical lake setting
I stayed here with my son and his girlfriend and the setting is magical, serene and beautiful. We swam in the lake while watching a family of monkeys watching us from the trees and swallows dipped and flew over the lake. The service is very warm and friendly. We drank delicious cocktails, ate good food and recharges our batteries.
