LEISURE

Set in fragrant gardens our Jacuzzi, lakeside sauna, palapa and sunbathing deck command dramatic views. A selection of body treatments are offered on our spa menu.

Maya Kaqchikel with ancestral pride, unique charm and a gentle hospitable manner are eager to present their service skills to you. The highlands are rich in indigenous tradition and culture, so as is their custom our female staff wear traditional dress. The lodge has archeological displays of ceramic, stone, obsidian, and jade artifacts from the lake basin.

Nature reserve paths traverse Mayan trails and ceremonial rocks. In testimony to its ancient past, after rain one can sometimes find a piece of obsidian flint on the paths around the area. Palm thatched pavilions offer panoramic views of the entire lake. For adventure enthusiasts the grounds have rock cliffs for climbing, rappelling and cliff jumping. The lake can be explored using our kayaks and canoes.

You will be part of an authentic and original experience!
