Great stay- we will be back!
My cousin and I spent just one night at El Carmen, and we wished we could have stayed longer. The beds were very comfortable, bathroom was newly renovated, and the rooftop restaurant was lovely. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Nice hotel. Would stay there again.
The hotel is very close to Parque Central, so it's very convenient. Only stayed one night, but the staff was very helpful with booking the shuttle to Lake Atitlan the following day and having our clothing washed the same day we arrived. I would recommend it.
