"I felt so welcomed and taken care of at Taitza. The owners and staff are kind and instrumental in facilitating my time navigating around Flores and Tikal. The property is a fair distance from the island but I was given boat rides to the city to meet my Tikal tour and my plane. Beautiful property, delicious food, highly recommended."

This is amazing hotel. The service is top quality. Employees are friendly and very helpful. We stayed at a room with king bed. It's three times the size of a regular hotel room. Our room was overlooking the lake behind the reception. Behind the water is an amazing forest view. I preferred it to the rooms overlooking the bigger lake on the other side of the property. You can relax in the hot tub watching the forest, listening to the howling monkey shout. Such a unique experience.. If you are a...

We loved out stay at Casa de Don David! The grounds are beautiful and the rooms were comfortable for our visit to Tikal. The food was also delicious. The staff helped us arrange a driver for airport pickup and dropoff as well as transportation to and from Tikal. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

We spent 2 weeks touring Guatemala, attracted by its natural beauty and the Mayan civilization. Hotel Bolontiku is one of our best part. Initially we didn't know that it's a hidden jewel on the lake. We took a taxi following Google Map. It is very wrong - the hotel would pick us up at the port of Flores!
The hotel with 15 suites were built on the cliff, with each suite hidden in the trees. The view is fabulous. The environment is so natural and serene. Yet, we got high speed internet and...

Not too small. Not too big. But the rooms are nicely-sized. And while the hotel does not have central air conditioning, the in-room units are powerful, which is an absolute necessity (for me, at least) in the very hot, very humid rain forest of the Peten. The rooftop bar is a lively place to be in town, but it quiets down very nicely when it is time to go sleep. The rooftop pool is small, but (a) the hotel is not that big, it won't be crowded, and (b) it's big enough for cooling dip when the...

The hotel, consisting of separate cabanas, is conveniently located on a main road near Flores, Guatemala. We arrived in a high-roof van with a roof rack and were able to access the property without any issues. We greatly enjoyed the grilled dinner for 4. The pool was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

The property was amazing.. the staff was great. A gem in an unlikely location. Although there was no other hotel like it around, it was a 5-7 minute drive to the Island of Flores where all the night life and restaurants are. Would definitely come again.

Beautiful setting for a hotel, on the beach of Lake Peten Itza and inside the Guatemalan rainforest! You can see and hear howling monkeys on the way to your room!

One of the older hotels on the island but going strong. Clean and up-to-date rooms. I had one of the cheaper ones overlooking the pool. Staff was helpful and friendly. Packed breakfast and taxi were arranged for my early morning flight (before regular breakfast service)
