Art & Coffee

I did not go to hotel the road was super bad I paid for but I lost my money because I did not go. I was so scare driving to and they told me I cant go by car that I have to leave the car and go by boat . So I did not go and I went back to Antigua and rent a hotel , I did not use my room in the lake Atitlan hotel Art & .

The sleeping rooms, beds, pillows all excellent. If you want your room cleaned - meaning wastebasket in bathroom where you place your used toilet paper and other garbage - or the floors swept or the garbage bucket on your veranda you must order in advance OR talk nice to the owners and hire someone to do this (pay the cleaner directly). We met only one of the managers: they own a house across the street an airbnb. so all a bit confusing! The food and staff: they need more staff as the one who is there is run off their feet. They sleep in a little room off the kitchen. When we were there they were just beginning the delights of ownership and finding their way. Airbnb style but yet trying to be hotel-ish. If airbnb they need to provide cooking facilities for folk as well as cleaning supplies, knowledge of where to empty waste baskets, basically better clear communication with residents. Wonderfully tho was their willingness and desire to serve, help, and be kind. Thank you for that!!! If you want to be in the centre of village their place and Han's! A downside to Art&Coffee is that the owner seems to be Guatemalan? but the managers are European/american/Guatemalan mix and seems everyone has a wonderfully mixed idea on what to do and how to do. Meanwhile, food list is Indian-ish - the best was tipicos, the basic breakfast, except not everything was hot or warm but we put that up to so many folk running around with one or two persons trying to do it all. Not the most quiet of places either as they are trying to have live music, games, yoga and all sorts of things there - but then again - the whole village is a delight of sounds, announcements over the loudspeakers, holy roller pentecostal singing, dogs and others barking! Hope the place stays simple and not get all weird like the other towns around Mother Lake.
