Best San Jose Hotels

I stayed here 1 night and it was a bit of a walk from the main street. I wouldn't usually mind, but because I was tired from a 6 hour tour from Tikal earlier in the day, walking a few blocks with 16lb backpack in tow in 103 degree weather wasn't really what I would've prefered to do. The reason being that vans/tour buses are not allowed past the main street because the streets are not wide enough. Once at the hotel check in was a breeze and Chonita was vey kind and informative. Not much of a view from the lobby or outside, but once I reached my room, the view of Lake Peten Itza was amazing. I was on the third floor, no elevator. Again, usually not a big deal, but I'm 47 and bad knees. Hot and tired from walking and traveling all morning, it was tiresome. The room was very clean. Air conditioning is a must and there's worked great. There's a mini fridge loaded with different types of drinks. Beer, soda. water and even offer small bottles of wine and liquor along with a price list of what each item will cost. TV, wifi worked well. My room was located right besides the outdoor community deck. For most of my stay it was empty and it was nice to sit outside and lounge reading a book and enjoying the views. At night time some other guests were out on the deck and I could hear their conversations, but it wasn't botheresome because I was exhausted from my day, I went to sleep right away. You must take advantage of the sunrise, perfect view to watch it come up around 5:30 am. I was still in my pj's and was not surprised to see more guests awake and enjoying it too. Overall experience was good. They offer free breakfast at an affiliate hotel, I chose to eat at La Casona, which is literally down the block about a 5 minute walk with a great view of the lake. Then before I left I took a swim at another affiliate hotel, Hotel Peten, which is about a 10 minute walk.

Some reviews say that this is an old and dirty hotel. Yes, it is indeed an old building but very clean. Towels are super soft and smelling really nice, and the best is one of the most comfortable I slept in. The view is amazing, decent swimming pool. My review is 4 star because I belive they miss some basic necessities such as a hair dryer at reception that you could borrow. All in all it is a decent hotel for the money.

Lovely hotel, well situated, nice rooms and excellent on site coffee shop. The only issue we had was that the roof top bar was closed for refurbishing which was disappointing as it has panoramic views of Flores. No advance warning given. The noise from the work was constant so no chance for a siesta. One day work went on until 6.30 pm… we expressed our frustration and at first we were offered complimentary breakfast which we weren’t happy with so they kindly offered to reimburse one nights cost. Pool is tiny .. really just a glorified jacuzzi and room for only 3 sun beds.

Good breakfast. Very good location

This is a basic hotel, and has everything you need while you’re in Flores. I had room 21 on the first floor overseeing the lake. The music at night from the bar across the street went until 1am. I called the reception a few times and they “played” surprised… They knew very well the music is super loud and goes well after midnight, but said couldn’t do anything as this is a different business altogether. Either pick up a higher floor OR choose a room that is NoT facing the lake, otherwise you will have to listen to a lot of rancheras until the wee hours of the night…

This cute little hotel has a great location on the island, steps from good restaurants and directly facing the incredible sunsets. The staff are friendly and helpful! I really loved our balcony for watching the sunset and hanging up our wet clothes. There is a tiny pool to cool off in the hot afternoons!
