Super impressive place! The greatest part about this spot is the people who work here. From Edith who showed my daughter enormous kindness allowing her to try her hand at making some tortillas to Jose who gave us a delightful explanation of the garden to all of the restaurant and hotel staff. The food is really great and super fresh and the Room was great.
We explored other towns both days as well and found getting around easy with the public lanchas, though private ones were available as well. The staff were helpful with figuring out plans.
Highly recommended!

I can’t quite describe what an oasis this is. It is truly magical. We were here as a large group for a week and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. The restaurant was so accommodating, they learned our names, let us pre/order meals and went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable. Laundry was easy, lots of little markets to pick up water and snacks. We had all ages with us from kids to seniors and everyone felt extremely at home. The grounds are immaculate! Highly recommend!

This is a serene, special place that I'm so thankful we visited. My 5-star rating is hardly enough to emphasize the quality of this stay, especially at the rate per night.

My first impression was how kind the staff was, then how gorgeous the grounds are. We traveled in a larger group, so I was able to check out a few different rooms, each in a different area of the hotel--all of the accommodations we had were spacious, well-taken care of, and cozy in ways that made us ready to stay past our booked check-out. And this was all before we even stopped by the restaurant (which served a range of traditional food and some innovative dishes at an affordable rate, something I highly appreciated as a foodie), or before we arranged tours to kayak and explore their organic garden (at no cost) or to hike through the rainforest to birdwatch for quetzals.

We had great access to the lake and market too, but there was plenty to enjoy at the hotel for those in our group who stayed back. The wifi was strong for those who were working, and the drinks at the bar were strong and tasty for those who were not. Can't wait to come back!

Highly recommended! The food is unique and the service is outstanding. Just the place to go for a relaxing holidays. The place is surrounded by a lot of nature and has its own orchard from which they harvest their own vegetables and plants. Also is right in front of the lake with direct access with a beautiful dock for taking the best pictures of the lake. Definitely coming back

What a gem of a place. Our stay at Hotel Tolimán was a little slice of paradise. Their expansive gardens were perfectly maintained and soft grass made for an ideal sunbathing spot. My friend and I rented the hot tub for a few hours each night; it’s tucked away and private—perfect for a relaxing debrief of the day’s adventures 🥭🌵🌊🌼

Each morning we enjoyed a delicious, traditional breakfast, “desayuno chapin” of scrambled eggs, refried black beans, queso fresco, fried plantains, and chirmol (tomato salsa). The fruit juice was fresh and sweet. Not to mention the view 🤩

The staff were all helpful and friendly and provided excellent service. The grounds were quiet yet lively, even at night. We felt safe and at ease.

The town itself is not touristy at all; mostly locals and local businesses so no one really speaks English outside the hotel. There are only a few other restaurants around. The hotel is the hub of tourists of all origins, and everyone was very friendly.

Just a heads up to those who plan on visiting different lakeside towns daily—plan ahead and around the boat schedules! To reach other towns around the lake, you have to get to the main boat launch in Panajachel then catch another boat from there. There are only a few boats that go to and from the hotel a day; however the front desk staff is super helpful and will provide a schedule for you!
