Vacation rentals in San Andrés Xecul

Mary is an excellent host. She responded in minutes, often in real time to any questions we had. She always had wonderful suggestions, and her knowledge of Lake Attilan’s villages is superb. We really appreciated her help. The house is a bird lovers dream. A large tree on the side of the huge picture windows is a bird magnet and we loved getting up early to watch and listen. When I sent her a picture of a bird, she responded with pictures of possible birds from a book, immediately. The view is fabulous! The house is tidy, clean and well supplied. San Marcos is such a chill place to stay. The stroll down to the boats is a pleasure and we enjoyed it immensely. This is a place we could return to easily.

We had a great stay at Augustus’ place. Taking the path along the water, it’s 5 min walk to the main pedestrian street of San Marcos. Place was spotless, and the view and entryway patio is awesome. There were some water issues of first days, heat and pressure, we let Augustus know and he was able to resolve quickly. Thanks for a great stay!

All the good things!! Leisa is very proactive and highly responsive. When staying in a remote place, that is incredibly helpful. The house itself is exactly as described, but the pictures do not do it justice! The garden is awe-inspiring. It is not my first trip to Guatemala and I saw several plants I hadn’t seen before! Each room has doors that open into the garden. We were only there for three days, but I could have lived there! The kitchen is fully equipped - I saw several gadgets in there. Thank you again!!!

We had a beautiful stay at Casa Paloma. The pictures truly do resemble the gorgeous location and it was a bit of peace we needed. The amenities such as the yoga platform, sauna & private dock were great. We also LOVED the food for breakfast and dinner and would recommend utilizing that. I will say we encountered some scorpions but that's a part of it! We felt lucky to wake up with that view everyday :)

The house, the lake, the views, the staff…all absolutely incredible! The house is ideally located within 5-10 mins walking or quick tuk tuk to San Marcos, and equipped with everything you need - pool, hottub, kayaks, loads of cooking supplies, more than enough towels etc. The rooms were huge, beds comfy and the caretakers available to help with anything and everything. The hosts were super responsive and the chef for hire cooked amazing meals. San Marcos has the cleanest water for swimming, and the national park with cliffs to jump or swim from is just a short walk or kayak away. The entire stay, just like the lake, was magical for our family of 5 (2 adults, 9 yo, two 7 yos) and not one we will ever forget!

The house is very beautiful. A lovely design and filled with beautiful touches and artwork. An amazing view off the veranda, and the gardens are relaxing and full of birds. We all enjoyed the clean pool very much too. Overall it was an amazing place to relax and recharge. There is a walk up to the local village of Santa Clara or tuk tuks to take you up the hill, and the village has a produce market on Saturdays. We also recommend CECAP for great meals with the best view, as well as fair trade traditional handicrafts. It was easy to get a boat at the public dock. It’s probably easiest to arrange your own driver and boat to the private dock as then it’s easy to contact them if they do not turn up or know where to go (problems we had through no fault of the host). Definitely shop in Pana as the shops are very small in Santa Clara. Be aware it was hazy every day for 6 days and apparently this is common in April (or other months too?) because of cane burning. However, the advantage of the

This was a beautiful spot! the view really was incredible. The place was clean and well equipped, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. as a few other reviews said, there is a restaurant next door that played loud music in the evening, but it was always over by 9:30pm so it didn't affect our sleep.

We had a fantastic stay and the check in process was very easy - they even allowed us to drop off our bags earlier than our check in time. The apartment was clean and had a brilliant view. We would highly recommend staying here :)

Had a great time, loved it!
