Fodor's Expert Review Hotel del Patio

Corner of Calle 2 and Av. 8 , Santa Elena, Petén, Guatemala

Built in traditional Spanish style, this modern hotel is easily recognizable by its stone walls and barrel-tile roof. Rooms, some of which are in need of refurbishing, face a small courtyard with a trickling fountain. Ask for a room on the first floor, as these have much larger windows. The patio restaurant sits under big arches leading to the grassy courtyard, making it a much more pleasant place to relax than the musty bar.

PROS

  • rooms do the job at a decent rate
  • tranquil courtyard
  • close to the island of Flores
  • pool

CONS

  • not actually on the island
  • rooms show aging
