"I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars.
The location is beautiful. Breathtaking views. I prefer a more laid back and quiet vibe. Kula Maya and the town of San Marcos provided that. But when my group and I wanted to have more of an outing, San Pedro was a short ferry ride away. It felt so remote and convenient all at the same time.
On top of that, one of the members in our group suffered from appendicitis in the middle of the night on our first night's stay here. We were so scared and the night security guard went out of his way to find us a tuk tuk driver to drive us to the hospital in San Pedro. Following the initial emergency, all the staff at Kula Maya were so attentive to our needs. They were ready to arrange transport for us at a moments notice. I cannot say enough positive things about Kula Maya. Just book your stay here, I promise you won't regret it. It was better than anything we could have imagined.
Thank you for a memorable stay Kula Maya! We love you!"
"Excellent stay. Excellent restaurants close by. Excellent views of Lake Atitla...

Great location. Minutes to lake front.
They have swings and hammocks close to the lake. The hammocks were extremely comfortable and one can sleep soundly to the sound of wind and wave. There are excellent views of the massive lake Atitlan from choice
locations scattered across the property or directly from your room that has large picture windows. There are outstanding restaurants providing all varieties of cuisines and we easily found vegetarian and vegan options. The town and street side shops are available within a few minutes. Five minutes walk will take you to a transcendental beach from which
mountains, mists, clouds merging with peaks and fresh air rejuvenate you.
There are local laundries that provide pick up and drop off service and fold clothes.
So far we didn't find scorpions as noted by a guest
The staff and the hotel owner were quite helpful and held our bags while our room was getting ready. I didn't experience the rudeness as described by an experienced guest in reviews.
There is a coffee roaster shop and cafe serving exceptional Guatemalan coffee within two blocks of the hotel.
Highly recommended. You will get a room facing the lake and sleep to the sounds of wind and wave."
"Room was clean and modern. Breakfast was delicious. Beautiful view of the lake. I feel the state of the pool and bridge over the pool should be updated. I thought it was a larger property than it was. Loud music playing by the pool and heard in the rooms until after midnight. "
