Casa del Mundo has rooms built right into the cliff edge and so all offer lake views, and it's a great place to catch a memorable Lake Atitlán sunset.
There’s a small hot tub where the sun terraces overlook the lake, and it’s possible to swim in the lake around the hotel.
The hotel offers a wide range of activities including hiking trails, volcano hikes, kayaking, swimming in the lake, visits to Mayan villages or simply relaxing around the hotel.
OUR OPINION:
Casa del Mundo is a charming property with superb views of the lake and excellent staff, however, there are numerous stairs throughout the hotel so the property may not be appropriate for those with mobility limitations.
