Tzampoc Resort

e stayed at Tzampoc for 4 nights. (Saturday, February 17th to Wednesday the 21st) Our room was $300 a night and definitely lacking in some areas. First and foremost, there was NO safe or mini fridge. At $300 a night for a bougee resort where they clean your room each day I thought this was bizarre. They also only had shower gel and shampoo. No conditioner or body lotion. At $300 a night, come on!! We had some issues throughout our stay which I did voice to the staff as I don’t like having to make negative reviews. When we arrived, we had just finished hiking Acatenango. Eros gave us his WhatsApp # if we needed anything. We had leftovers from lunch, so I went to the restaurant to ask for some silverware & napkins so we could finish it. They told me silverware and napkins were for dine in only (even though I did explain we were staying there and wanted to finish our leftovers). Fine. I contacted Eros and he brought some. First I showered then my fiancé did. At the end of my shower it went from hot to warm then my fiance didn’t have hot water at all. Another morning, my fiance showered and didn’t have any hot water again. Mind you I hadn’t even showered before him. We told them and they took care of this as they have solar panels that heat up the water. On the first night our TV was also static so we couldn’t really watch. We told them the next day and they fixed that as well. So hot water and tv they did take care of. I will give them that. Breakfast was great each morning. What really set me over the edge was on our last day we finally decided to soak up the infinity pool. I went down to the pool first and started ordering aperol spritzes for my fiance and I. When he arrived at the pool, he had a water bottle. The bartender told him he could not bring it into the pool area. Bizarre. I ask the bartender if we could bring the water from our room that the resort gives us. He said no. There was no water offered at the pool and we had to BUY bottled water at the pool even though we were buying cocktails AND food AND were guests at the resort. By the way, we ran up a tab that was equivalent to $100 USD. After this I voiced my complaints to management. They said the reasoning was because in the past people have put liquor in water bottles. Ok that’s fair if you don’t want people bringing it in for that reason, BUT you should have filtered water at the pool then and not make people pay for it. Other hotels that weren’t nearly as high end a this one had water out for guests to consume whenever. All in all, this place is overhyped. I will say the breakfast was great, but instead of staying here, I’d recommend buying a day pass for the pool at $25 USD and having cocktails and food there for the day. The staff was very kind, but I can tell the owner runs a tight ship. He’d be around yet barely say hello. Even after I voiced my complaint about the water they still charged me and btw, my fiance and I are in the hospitality industry and tip generously.

Privileged location to enjoy stunning views. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Prepare to negotiate plenty of stair. If driving, going up to the parking area can be challenging.

Stunning location! We absolutely loved our two day stay here - highlights were definitely the private balcony with incredible view (all rooms have this), the beyond stunning pool with view, the delicious cocktails that were served at the pool bar, the beautiful breakfast area! The staff was super friendly and helpful. It's about a 15 min (fun!) tucktuck drive from Panajachel where you will find great restaurants.

Amazing place!! My husband and I just left and we had an amazing experience. We were upgraded to a junior suite at no additional cost and so very thankful. The suite was beautiful and clean. So many room amenities we appreciated. The hotel itself is in a great location where it’s just outside of the town but not so far that it’s completely secluded. The food and staff are amazing. The only tough thing I would say is the it’s so high up that sometimes we had to walk up the long steep driveway because car or Tuk Tuk couldn’t get up. But overall definitely worth the stay. The view is something out of a movie!

With breathtaking views, the most attentive staff I’ve ever experienced and excellent food, this place exceeded all expectations. Can’t recommend this place enough. Would be perfect for a couple, or a small group of friends.

One of the best views of Atitlan lake (panoramic). Nice greek villa-style hotel, with very gentle personel. Food is great, and the vanilla ice cream is one of the best I've tasted in Guatemala (Desserts are above average!) I also recommed taking the sauna. Entering the hotel is a chilling driving experience, with a very inclined 1 lane street. Can be dangerous, therefore my 4 star rating.

Excellent

Extraordinario nivel de servicio y, sin duda, tiene de las mejores vistas del lago de Atitlán. La habitación fue extraordinaria, muy amplia y cómoda, la tuna con vista al lago fue una grata sorpresa!!! El acceso puede ser complicada por la subida y las curvas cerradas para llegar al hotel, pero igual se puede resolver y el personal del hotel está al pendiente en todo momento para subsanar este tema.

Cuartos con humedad, sucios, llenos de zancudos, arañas y otros insectos, áreas comunes descuidadas y sucias, pésimo hotel
