My mom and I will be arriving in Guatemala City at about 9pm on a Sunday night in February. We need to be in Antigua on Monday morning. -- What are your suggestions on the safest and most tourist-friendly hotels near the airport that can arrange transportation from the airport to the hotel, and from the hotel to Antigua?

I've read about Dos Lunas, but if we are willing to pay a little more.. are there better options? My mom is getting older and I'm trying to make this a smooth and enjoyable trip for her.

Thanks!!!

We fly in just after 8pm and have arranged a shuttle to Antigua for that night, something you, too, could consider. A few weeks later we're staying near the GUA airport due to an early morning flight to Roatán and have chosen Villa Toscana. A few weeks after that we'll fly back to GUA in the evening and leave for home early the next morning so we'll stay there again. It's a bit more expensive than Dos Lunas (which I'm sure we'd be fine with) but we decided to splurge just a little.

Thanks! I just looked into HoJo and that does have good reviews.... It looks like they are very reliable with the shuttle pick-up and helpful in arranging transport to Antigua. We might go with that one. -I love Fodor's forums. Cheers.
