La Fortuna at Atitlan

This is the most magical place in the world! I simply could not recommend this place enough. The views are stunning, the food is INCREDIBLE (and the room service option is amazing), the staff is so friendly and helpful, the bungalows are so unique and beautiful, and the serenity of this place is second to none. Traveling as a young gal, I felt safe here the entire time. I would catch a boat during the day into San Marcos or one of the other towns on the lake, spend the day there, and then come back to La Fortuna at around 5pm and enjoy a drink at the bar and a wonderful meal looking at the volcanos. ||Highlights of this place: Paddle boarding during the quite morning looking at the volcanos, eating the best food ever on my bungalow front porch, enjoying the serenity of a peaceful rainforest rain from my cozy bed, having an avocado margarita from the bar every night watching the sunset, getting an incredible massage on my first day there, laying on the hammock on my front porch (room Suite 2) reading my book.||I am so glad I stayed here! A huge, huge kudos to Gabriel and Diego who were wonderful hosts during my stay here, making sure I had everything I needed. I cannot wait to visit again in the future :)

An Unforgettable Stay – Truly a Hidden Gem in Guatemala! I had the most incredible stay at Hotel La Fortuna — it’s honestly one of the most relaxing and special places I’ve ever visited. Everything about it was perfect: the peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful design, the lush surroundings, and the attention to detail throughout the entire property. The staff were kind and welcoming, my Boogaloo was amazing, and the outdoor shower was a highlight. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and truly disconnect. La Fortuna exceeded all my expectations. I can’t wait to go back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable getaway. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you're looking for a great "glamping" experience, this is the place. La Fortuna at Atitlan is an exquisite 6 bungalow resort tucked into the jungle on a former coffee finca. If you want to get close to nature without living in a tent, La Fortuna will give you the jungle living vibe, with deep relaxation of body and mind.||The resort cannot be reached by road, only by boat which makes it even cooler to me. I imagined the old "Fantasy Island" TV show as I arrived, welcomed at the dock by Gabriel and three dogs, all very welcoming and glad to see us. Our three hosts, Gabriel, Isabella, and Enriqué provided the highest level of service, filling all positions from concierge to bartender with a smile and service-excellence attitude. If you're lucky enough to meet Enriqué's Chihuahua, "Casino", then you'll really have a smile on your face.||La Fortuna is a family owned "Nano Boutique" hotel that is entirely off the grid. That doesn't mean they are lacking any of the modern amenities, just that they do it smarter. For example, the sauna is in a converted VW bus, and is heated by wood burning fire along with the hot tub.||I was especially impressed with the restaurant and the price of the food and drink. Considering that you're quite secluded here, they could take the opportunity to charge a premium for food and drink, but they don't and the value is really high for what you get. We ate dinner every evening here, a fixed offering menu that was outstanding. They even have a wine cellar to choose your dinner bottle from.||Our bali hut was really comfortable and tranquil tucked into the forest, but I'll warn you to bring plenty of bug repellent lotion or spray because your open to the forest hut is also open to all flying creatures.||If you're camping averse like me, this is as close to camping as you'll ever come, but you'll feel a oneness with nature that you don't get at a larger hotel. It's a unique experience I'd recommend for everyone (except children).

This was an amazing pit stop in between days of intense travel. It was relaxing and absolutely stunning. Gabriel and Enrique welcomed us immediately and made our stay incredible. We ate in the dining room both nights and it was enjoyable to talk and meet with different travelers (option to eat in your suite). A beautiful wine cellar and great cocktails. They do not offer day passes for people not staying on the property which was a great benefit for the guests that are here. ||A must do to decompress. We will be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Stay in Paradise – Deluxe Suite 5 We had an absolutely amazing stay at La Fortuna Atitlán, and it was the highlight of our time at the lake. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and personalized, making us feel completely cared for and relaxed. Deluxe Suite 5 was a dream—private, beautifully designed, and perfectly positioned for stunning lake and volcano views. The room felt like a peaceful oasis, with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. Waking up to the sunrise over Lake Atitlán was pure magic. The staff went above and beyond, arranging smooth boat transfers, delicious meals, and everything we needed to make our time stress-free and unforgettable. If you’re looking for luxury, tranquility, and authentic Guatemalan hospitality, La Fortuna is simply unbeatable. We can’t wait to return—thank you for such an extraordinary experience!

We loved our stay here and appreciated all the extra touches which included laundry service. The food was reasonably priced, the staff was super kind (we really loved Gabriel) and the views were outstanding. We stayed in the largest house and it was incredible.

Me and my boyfriend loved staying here. The location was out of this world, the food was amazing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the staff were all great, for the most part. The only issue we had was with Steve’s attitude over email. He was rude to us when we misunderstood the boat prices, which were not explained sufficiently in the first place. We were also shocked when one of the receptionists repeatedly blamed one of their new employees for making very inconsequential errors such as the timing of dinner. Overall, the experience was amazing and they really pay attention to the details in the bungalows, but the service could be improved.

My girfriend and I had an absolute amazing experience staying at La Fortuna for three nights. The level of care and service from the staff was above and beyond and they thoroughly made sure your stay was as comfortable as possible. The cabanas were very private, clean, and in cool locations dispersed across the forest and the main lobby had incredible lake and views of the volcanoes. I would highly recommend for a couple visiting Lake Atitlan.
