"Pros: This is really a quite spectacular location on Lake Atitlan, and makes for a great spot to explore from. There are a few cabins on the property, and this one is the furthest away from the lake, but also the highest, so you still get a great view. The kayak rental on property is incredibly convenient. Oh, and the couple who own the property are lovely and willing to help out with anything. There are some very friendly dogs on the property who might want to relax on the patio, but for me... that was a plus. :)
Cons: As other reviews mentioned, the bathroom is on a separate floor, BUT it is still private. So while slightly inconvenient, I would definitely not let that be a deal breaker for you. There are a few bugs on this side of the lake, so wear sandals at night, and maybe don't keep any open food in your room. (Learn from our mistake there.) The place is in the wilderness, but that's also what makes it really nice and relaxing." ~Austin
"Pros: Loved the location on the water with the hills and the bush behind. A short walk along the lakeside path takes you to a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars. The Lake Atitlan boat taxi dock is just a 5 minute walk along that path. You can also walk up to Santa Cruz village for the exercise and views. The CEPAP building is in the village and sells beautiful local textile crafts and serves delicious meals, snacks and coffee. The Santo Cruz village market is on Saturdays if you need some produce and you can buy local avocados from local vendors daily. From Los Elementos you can access a trail that takes you up and down to a neighbouring village Jailbalito. A great walk and a lovely, quieter, less touristy spot on Lake Atitlan. Visit Bistro Indigo if you walk to Jailbalito! While at Los Element of be sure to go out on SUP or kayak in the mornings before the wind comes up. We did 2 tours with Los Elementos, the cooking class and the Upper Mayan Trail. Both amazing experiences. Be sure to get your mountain legs on before attempting the Upper Mayan Trail LOL. At Los Elementos you can create a vacation that combines relaxation with physical activity and challenge along with local cultural experiences.
Cons: Nothing" ~Luanne
