Jenna's River Bed & Breakfast

I cannot recommend this place enough, it is simply the best place to stay at Lake Atitlan. The location is stunning, offering a breathtaking view of the lake and volcanoes from every room. The property is slightly removed from town, making for a quiet and peaceful stay. Access to Panajachel is easy via a tuk-tuk, taking less than ten minutes. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, featuring comfy beds, full bathrooms, daily towels/cleaning and wifi!. Service here is a highlight, the manager Yvan was an amazing host who was incredibly helpful and gave us many recommendations for activities and transportation getting around the lake. The food and bar service were also outstanding. Head Chef Norbert Cloutier, is truly a culinary talent. His Middle Eastern fare was world-class, delivering some of the best food I've had, even compared to restaurants in NYC where I reside. If you are traveling to Lake Atitlan, I highly encourage you to stay at Jenna's, or at least stop by for a meal!

Jenna's River B&B is a unique stay with a wonderful view! Each of the yurts is comfortable and "stacked" against the land leading down to the sea. There is also a little gem of a restaurant attached to the wonderful Jenna's River B&B. The chef is a magician. I was here for a pre-wedding Happy Hour and the next day for the wedding and dinner afterwards. The star of the Happy Hour was the fried shrimp. They were crisp and flavorful and served with the best spicy dip! The wedding meal was grand by any standard; everything was delicious, and the portions were huge. The staff was gracious and friendly, so attentive and enthusiastic. It felt more like being at someone's house than a restaurant. Short ribs, hummus, fish, salad, so many tasty dishes! The desert, and the wedding cake, was the best Dolce de Leche cake I have ever tasted. Bravo to the chef and Al Jouri Restaurant. It's worth the tuk-tuk ride there, but you won't want to leave!

Totally worth the very brief venture outside town for the unbeatable view, you won't be disappointed! ||Be sure to wake up to watch the sunrise from your own private covered patio or even from your bed. I also suggest sitting out to watch the sunset over the mountains from their restaurant. During the night we were able to sit and enjoy the moon reflecting on the lake.||The hotel has a wonderfully curated eclectic vibe. The complex is thoughtfully designed (but be prepared for some stairs - after all you're on the side of a mountain) and the gardens are immaculate. You feel as if your tucked amongst the forest in a private garden.||The staff were incredibly helpful. They arranged our professional private transportation to and from Guatemala City and helped us arrange trusted tuk tuks into town.||High speed wifi that's included enabled us to stream movies.||Can't recommend the on site Syrian restaurant's tasting menu enough! Enjoy incredibly fresh and flavorful authentic Syrian food made with local ingredients for their covered restaurant patio that overlooks the lake. Get there early as they will sell out or make a reservation. ||We enjoyed the coffee that was available all day and the included breakfast.

This beautiful and unique hotel on the hillside in Panajachel is absolutely stunning. Stay here if you want to have a truly relaxing time on Lake Atitlan. The location is a little removed from the town but the friendly staff will call you a 5m tuk tuk whenever you need. They have a great happy hour around sunset time. You can also enjoy Syrian food on the menu. We went in November and the sunsets were gorgeous. The rooms are clean, spacious, come with their own balcony area, and definitely unique. I loved my stay here and would recommend it to anyone who is visiting the lake for the first time.

Great location with a lovely atmosphere! We friendly welcome from the staff! Before our arrival, they reached out with useful information. Rooms are clean and are all facing the lake.|The restaurant attached to the hotel is incredibly! Unique in the area, it offers a Syrian cuisine worth a detour. Ask for their wine menu, you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing view of Lake Atitlán and has wonderful, friendly staff who make your stay pleasant. The atmosphere is peaceful and the location is perfect for exploring the area. However, the property feels a bit outdated and could use some upgrades and maintenance. For the price charged, a few improvements would make it an exceptional stay. Overall, it’s a great place with stunning scenery.

We had dinner there last night and it was truly sublime. Great views looking down on the lake, a fun cocktail bar and an extremely tasty and healthy dinner, in the restaurant, which has a range of dishes you won't find in most other places. (Our dinners were Mediterranean influenced). And the staff and the manager were all super-friendly. A bit if a schlep as you have to take tuk-tuks up and down the hill (to get those amazing views) but well worth it.

I planned a trip for my mom and I to Guatemala, it had always been a place I wanted to visit. When we arrived at Lake Atitlan we got a tuktuk to Jenna's, their What's App communication was SO HELPFUL. This boutique hotel is exactly the place you want to stay for views, food, and relaxation during your visit to Lake Atitlan. After visiting many of the towns around the lake and spending afternoons wandering through Panajachel, no other accommodation can compare. Unlimited coffee in the morning for my early-rising mom, Lino the tuktuk tour guide, and the most gorgeous view of the lake made this a trip to remember. Thank you Jenna's!
