Los Almendros de San Lorenzo

This is an outstanding small boutique hotel in Suchitoto, a small historic town on a beautiful lake about an hour from the capital. The hotel is only about 15 years old but the house that it is in is 220 years old. And incredibly decorated. The service was great. The front office manager Lis was super helpful. If you are coming to this country on business extend your stay by a couple of days and stay here.

1/10 experience. VERY LOUD MUSIC was playing the whole night due to location. We asked about the noise earlier in the night and the front desk said that it would end at 9 which was not the case. Fireworks going off in the am as well. Got zero hour of sleep so ended up leaving back to the coast the next day. There was a French make manger that was bit helpful one bit and basically just tried to convince us that it wasn’t a problem. This town is beautiful and there are lots of nice places to stay but I would avoid this hotel. Hope this helps.

Our visit this month was the 5th time in the last 19 years that we have eaten at San Lorenzo. We have spent the night two times previously.|Our food for a party of five was delicious, in beautiful surroundings and reasonably priced with gracious, friendly service. ||San Lorenzo is such an incredibly beautiful place to eat and stay. The owner has done an excellent job of maintaining this truly elegant lodging and restaurant. ||We can’t wait to return for an extended stay! It is one of my favorite places!

Excellent staying at this hotel for two nights. Excellent customer service from the front desk to waitresses in the restaurant. Room was spacious and super clean. A few blocks from center of the town. I parked my car outside the hotel. The pool was clean and even though it rained quite a bit when we stayed, they did clean all the amenities and hotel quite well.

Lovely historic hotel in a fabulous location. Wonderful breakfast. Lots of antiques and art work. Nice pool for cooling off. Highly recommended. Owners were very helpful with travel tips for other parts of the country. Preferred smaller room by the pool in the corner for more privacy

Visited April 2024. We had dinner at this Boutique hotel. The relaxed atmosphere and Latin furnishings added to the experience. The food was with a mixture of Latin and Caribbean flavours superbly put together and totally delicious. Excellent prices including the drinks and cocktails - loved every minute.

I chose Los Almendros de San Lorenzo Boutique Hotel because it’s the most expensive in town (well - when you’re traveling alone and you don’t know what to pick this is the nature reaction). I originally paid $211 for a Lakeview room, but upon arrival, there was no lake view. The staff kindly showed me a second room, also labeled as a Lakeview room, which was also a spacious two-story room, with a fridge. However, the bathtub was dusty, and a large tree blocked the lake view, making it essentially non-existent. The hotel agreed to refund me for the Lakeview room and rebook me in a standard room (cheaper book directly with the hotel at $120) which I appreciated. Throughout the process, the staff were friendly, smiling, and understanding, which was a relief. However, when I returned to my room after 10 PM, there was no Wi-Fi and no hot water in the shower (no fridge in this type of the room) I informed the night staff, but he didn’t speak English well and told me to wait until the next morning. After a full day of hiking, I really needed a hot shower, so this was disappointing. Despite these issues, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly. I enjoyed sitting in the garden for breakfast in front of my room, which was fantastic. The location is perfect, with easy access to the waterfall, the church, and the city center. Street parking in front of the hotel is convenient. This is an honest review of my stay. I’m curious about Casa 1800, as it also looked nice when I passed by and had dinner there. I hope Los Almendros de San Lorenzo can improve the shower and Wi-Fi situation in the future to make this a better place to return to. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality.

As we arrived, we learned that staff would help us with luggage at the street entrance and valet park our rentals car a couple blocks away. The process worked for us — we like to walk around charming towns, not drive. As we explored the hotel interior we were delighted with the layout of varied guest room designs around a central courtyard and swimming pool. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The food was very good. We met the ownership and chatted about travel around the country. They advised us with our own travel plans and affected outcomes for us in a positive way.
