Romantic Hotels in Alta Verapaz

"Love the location"

"Very happy with this experience we had here. I highly recommend it. It's a very nice place and has excellent service."

"Good"

"No running water in the whole building in the morning. Otherwise it was an ok stay. Staff very friendly. "

"Beautiful, picturesque, antique-filled hotel with 20ish rooms surrounding an open, vibrant garden. Lovely. Highly recommend. Would stay again without hesitation."

"If you want to have a local experience and get to know the local indigenous people, I highly recommend El Portal. It is owned and run by people from the local community. It is right next to the river, the caves and the pools of Semuc Champey. So from your room you can just walk down the river and have a swim, while chatting with locals. All the staff are very friendly and are happy to help you with anything. Make sure to not confuse their silly humor with anything negative ;) We absolutely loved our experience here, after having seen other hostels in the area. Few things to take into consideration: 1. The restaurant is very nice. The food is not of the highest quality, but it is delicious and gets you through the day. 2. You are INSIDE the jungle. Don't be afraid of crawling things, you are in their territory. They dont hurt you. 3. The rooms can get quite hot. And there are no fans as the electricity is very limited (only available in the evenings). All in all, the price/ quality is just perfect. And I would love to come back! Go experience the local community, not the hippie backpacker hostels."

"The nature theme like experience was awesome!! Lots of gardens and very cute cabins with all necessary stuff!! I would definitely come back for peace and quiet. "

"It was a beautiful hotel and restaurants. The breakfast was very good.lots of good, safe parking. No one spoke English but we're patient with me using my phone translator."

"Super nice place, lovely, super helpful staff! The showers weren’t hot, but not freezing. Great base for exploring the area. We hiked to the top of one of the mountains with a guide arranged by the manager. THEN floated through a cave on tubes. Super fun day! "
