Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Tolimán
San Lucas Tolimán, Sololá, 07013, Guatemala
Any lodging with its own heliport must cater to an affluent clientele, right? Yet rates are very reasonable here. Opt, if you can, for one of the 14 rooms across the street from the reception. They are scattered throughout a pleasant garden. With their stucco walls, big wooden doors, armoires, antique furniture, tile floors, and hammocks in the breezeways (and some rooms with fireplaces), they echo an old Guatemalan hacienda. Eight other rooms sit either above the reception area or near the parking lot. Beef is the specialty in the restaurant ($–$$), along with great lake views.
PROS
- friendly staff, terrific value, beautiful garden
CONS
- town is not as interesting as some other lake towns, rooms around parking lot are smaller
