Lomas de Zununa is located near the village of Zununa and accessible by road via San Pedro or by public boat from Panajachel. The hotel has its own docking pier, boat, Kajacs, etc.
When arriving at the hotel's pier you can call the staff via the intercom to collect your luggage.
The hotel is built 160 meters above the lake level, giving its stunning and wonderful, exclusive view over the lake and the volcanos in front. From the morning when you wake up till the evening, you enjoy this exceptional view, unique for this location.
The hotel offers really excellent gastronomy, especially the fish from the lake (filet with herbs i would recommend) is like an angel that strikes your tongue...
The water is excellent for swimming and snorkling gear is available.
the hotel is labeled ecologically friendly and fully staffed with the local people from the village next door -who also participated in the build phase and the road access- and fully supports the local village economy in a sustainable manner.
Staff is dressed in traditional garments.
Food is fresh and energy is provided from solar cells.
The owners Thierry and Maria are passionate about servicing their guests and happy to accomodate any request.
Wilst being there, there were plans to provide as well excursions or shuttle service by air, as the owner has a small aircraft.
it all adds to the exclusive and yet very accessible experience of a unique location, local tradition, excellent kitchen and a genuine personal welcome.

Lomas de Tzununa is in an absolutely stunning location on Lake Atitlan near the village of Tzununa as opposed to Santa Cruz La Laguna suggested on this site. The rooms are clean, bright and airy all with lake views although the beds are on the hard side. We stayed for four nights and by the end of our stay were beginning to tire of the menu in the good restaurant. If you are staying here there are no alternatives nearby. Although the menu does cover a good range of meals and prices we did feel that maybe a typical "meal of the day" might add a bit more variety. Continental breakfast included in the room is very basic and for my "full american" I got a small portion of scrambled eggs, four small very crisp bacon slices and two small slices of watermelon extra.
Access is from the hotel dock via 400 plus steps. Not for the faint of heart but if you are up for it well worth the effort. You can also walk from the public dock at Tzununa, same elevation gain, much longer path. It would be nice if the hotel could run some sort of shuttle arrangement here.
Maria will help with any guests' plans and it was a pity that we did not get to realise this at first as we had an aborted attempt to get to the market at Chichestenango on the third day of our stay.
All in all though a wonderful place to stay and relax with the occassional foray on to the lake visiting the villages.

Cozy little hotel with gorgeous view of Lake Atitlan from every room. In September my boyfriend and I were the only guests at this hotel. We had the whole place to ourselves. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Enjoyed an afternoon by the pool, took a ferry to San Pedro for dinner, and kayaked and swam in the lake next morning. While in the room, we just sat and stared out the balcony. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Escape from the touristy bustle of Panajachel to this gem of a hotel.

If you want a few days relaxing in fabulous scenery with wonderful food then this is for you.

Its quiet and relaxing in the extreme. Rooms are lovely, all with lovely views from their balconies. There is a nice pool (although we were so relaxed we couldn't even be bothered to swim!).

The food was of excellent quality. I highly recommened both the black bass in herb sauce and the homemade ravioli. We also very much enjoyed the typical Guatemalan breakfast.

We didn't realise there were lots of steps to the hotel from the hotel boat dock area. Thierry was very good about collecting us from a differfent dock where we could be transported by car to the hotel. I am not so mobile so this helped me a lot.

There is a wonderful balcony area from the restuarant where you can enjoy the fabulous views. Underneath the balcony is a nice shady comfy area with a sofa and book area. We whiled away some hours here enjoying the peace.

In the evening Thierry would play some guitar. It was all very serene and pleasant. We were extremely sad to leave here and would have been very happy to have had a longer stay.
