“Very pretty and clean and friendly but comes at a cost. No wine choices”
Spotless. Wonderful friendly attentive staff. Facilities by the lake were great. Peaceful. Some cabins had great views but most don’t.

“Wonderful!”
We absolutely loved La Lancha! The grounds are beautiful, the casitas are very comfortable and nicely decorated and the food was good. The pool and the lakeside jetty are very nice. We also tried the temazcal, the traditional sauna, which was a wonderful experience. The thing that stood out most to us was the staff. Every single person was extremely friendly and they were all super helpful. We had a very early tour one day and had to leave for the airport early another day, and both times they prepared a nice breakfast to go for us. Can’t recommend this please enough!

“Jungle gem 💎”
Beautiful hotel located on a stunning lake. Pool and lakeside dock are great, as is the lakeside sauna. Casitas are small but well equipped. Saw spider monkeys from our room. Food options are tasty, and staff are super helpful and friendly. Only a few bugs around at dusk, but by wearing long sleeves at dinner, this isn't an issue. We took their Tikal tour and had the best guide ever.

“Magical and Unforgettable Stay”
This place is so beautiful and relaxing that it's hard to even put the experience into words. The attention to detail is truly remarkable. Inside the room, you'll find everything you need and even more. A funicular takes you down to the private marina, where you can enjoy paddle boarding or simply jump into the lake for a refreshing swim. The temazcal sauna was an unforgettable experience; deeply relaxing and unique. I’d especially like to thank the staff for making my birthday so special with thoughtful room decorations and a surprise cake. Every moment here was filled with care and magic.

“A huge thank you to the staff at La Lancha. Staying here was a special treat for us (more than our normal budget) but wo”
The beautiful scenery nested in nature. The staff are SO LOVELY, kind and attentive and helpful- they all made the stay extra special. The breakfast view of the lake and the wonderful array of birds and animals (spider monkeys!) that can be seen from the property. The relaxing pool area and mirador too! 🩷 great location for tours to Tikal, Yahxa etc. Wish we had more time to explore more of the area and do a bird watching tour too.

“Magnificent lakeside hotel to relax”
Great location, beautiful decoration, superbe views from the restaurant, very nice swim in the lake and to have the stand up paddles and canoes. Rooms are very comfortable and well equipped. Fun little cable car to go up and down to the lake. Restaurant offer is great and the staff is very dedicated and attentive.

“Great for Tikal”
Lovely location. No view from our room but great views from the pool and restaurant. We could easily hear our neighbours in the adjoined next room. So, did not feel very private. Room small and could do with some TLC ie. curtain had a hole, bathroom lights kept flashing on and off. Staff very friendly. Food tasty and portions very large. The proximity to Tikal is a bonus.
