I have stayed at Posada Los Encuentros about 4 times and every experienced has been great. I have stayed in the little bungalows and in the suite with room for 6 people and private kitchen and all rooms have been clean and cozy. It is very safe and the staff is very helpful. I'm positive that my husband and I... more

On a solo trip to Guatemala, I was searching for a hotel that was safe, clean and economical. All I needed was simply a place to sleep since I would be spending most of my time exploring and photographing the area. I booked six nights at Posada los Encuentros. It turned out to be the best decison I made for... more

We stayed at Posada Los Encuentros for three weeks in February, and were delighted with our stay. The location away from the noisy main street, yet only a 10 minute walk from either the tourist area or the mercado for wonderful fresh fruits and veggies, was perfect. The room was not fancy, but it was very comfortable and had a... more

We have stayed at Posada Los Encuentros many times as a couple, with friends, and with family. Each time the visit has been excellent! We love the thermal spa on chilly nights and the free continental breakfast in the morning. This is undoubtedly the quietest place in Panajachel! Also, the owner is an American so it's nice to have an... more

Unfortunately, we have to agree with the other people who stayed at this once-lovely hotel on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala in May 2008. The room was dirty, the hot tub was filthy and dangerous (slippery mold growing with a huge ant nest due to it not being cleaned), there was dog poop on the sidewalk in front of the stairs, broken... more

The room was stuffy and smelt unclean, the heavy rugs were filthy and the fresh water outside looked very dubious. Thick layer of dush below th bed and around the room. One look at the hottub and we declined...it needed to... more

Seven of us spent three nights at Posada Los Encuentros following a recent service project in Guatemala and would definitely return. The owner and manager are long-time residents and very familiar with the area, culturally and environmentally sensitive. Most helpful in arranging transportation to and from Pana and suggesting activities around Atitlan. Pleasant courtyard and breakfast area and spacious rooms.... more

This was our first trip to the highlands of Guatemala and we picked Posada Los Encuentros based off the excellent reviews received. We could not have been happier. The owner, Richard, and manager (all around giver of information and good conversation) Christian were wonderful hosts and were able to provide us with experiences and information we never would have discovered... more

Thank you for making my stay a wonderful experience after some other disappointing previous lodging. I was in #6 upstairs apartment overlooking the lush gardens and only 5 steps away from the wonderful mineral fed hot tub what a treat everyday , I could even have food delivered from a nearby restaurant and for my wine needs , the owner... more
