Porta Hotel del Lago

My stay at Porta Hotel del Lago with friends was excellent. We had rooms with awesome views of the lake with the volcano in the distance, The comfortable rooms seem to have been recently renovated, and they are very clean. For me, perhaps the best part of this hotel is the interior design. A very creative designer has incorporated typical fabrics (of which there are thousands) and motifs in very clever ways. The colors are bright and appealing, and there is always something to attract your attention. The staff is very pleasant and helpful, and the location is within easy walking distance of the main shopping street with its craft shops and restaurants.

Hot tubs didnt work, but they give you a pass to another hotel to use their hot tubs. No fridges in room. No ice machines. breakfast not included. You can hear EVERYTHING when someone walks down the hallway. Outside bar (that looks so great online!) was closed the whole time we were there (I assume its seasonal). mold on bathroom ceiling. No A/C or heat in the room. There is an old tower fan that is the only thing you have for air movement. Room service got our order completely wrong (we ordered vegetarian and they sent us a big steak lol). Just kinda an odd place. They do have an ATM and secure parking though. And its right near the boat launch to go to other villages. Would not stay again. Go to the Ritz the down road instead.

Our stay here was AMAZING!!!!! All of the staff from reception to all areas of the hotel were great, welcoming, helpfull. Made us feel great. Lake views from 5th floor are awesome!!! The pool, perfect. See you all next year!!!

Very comfortable and nice stay here in Pana, but the gym was lackluster and food options minimal.

Nice property at great location. Parking was great also. Screaming children in the hallways. Someone literally blew a trumpet in the hall at 7am, one of the guests I assume.Next to Lake Atitlan very beautiful. Expensive drinks and food on site, but a few restaurants in walking distance. Tuk Tuk rides are cheap and can take you anywhere.

Pros: Close to ferry terminal, restaurants and bars. View was nice across the road to beach. Basic breakfast but filled the void (included in the room). Room was spacious and the bed was comfortable (we like firm beds). Filtered water was provided and the small refrigerator was in working order. WiFi was adequate. Cons: Beach across the road had the seaweed problem and too dirty for swimming. No air conditioning in the room, shower had little water pressure with cool water (hot water was non existent) The hotel was just a little too old for our liking. If we were to come back to San Pedro we would pay a little more for a nicer accommodations.

I stayed in this hotel for the first time in 1995. My last stay was three years ago and the hotel was showing ¨wear and tear¨. Well.......what a wonderfull surprise with all of the wonderfull renovations !!! The hotel is in GREAT Shape !! From the new floor coverings to the room furnishings........and the fabulous views of the lake and the volcanos.....this hotel is a great value for what it delivers!! I highly recommend it.

nice hotel and service but the wifi doesn't work at all!

Wonderful views and really closed to the lake. Very nice comfortable beds! Only issue is their wifi doesn't work most of the time!!!
