Fantastic stay in all respects — the staff, carefully curated rooms and amenities, proximity to and availability of activities able to be seamlessly arranged, and the serene and secluded location were spectacular. Our stay at La Lancha was a truly special experience unlike any other we have experienced worldwide.
Fabulous hotel with unbelievable staff that go above and beyond in every respect! There is a great pool and a lakefront with amenities including SUP, and kayaks. The included continental breakfast is fabulous, as are the lunches and dinners. The sauna is a must. This is the perfect base for exploring the Mayan ruins and Flores Island.
The hotel is well designed. Rooms are cute and clean. Staff is amazing! Very relaxing environment right on lake Peten.
You are definitely out there. So plan on having most of your meals at the resort. They did arrange for us to go to Tikal and Flores. Our guide to Tikal was amazing. I highly recommend this spot! Would absolutely go back.
Our stay was beyond great! It was amazingly beautiful, fun, and peaceful!!! The staff is the nicest, most accommodating, and friendly!! The food is fresh and SO DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend this hotel!!!
Our favorite? Pool, lake, howling monkeys, spider monkeys, the food, our bungalow… literally everything!!!
What a treat to have stayed in this hotel in the middle of the jungle and with a beautiful lake Peten Itza view. Tranquility at its best! Great location to head out to Tokal.
La Lancha Hotel is truly a gem. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed—warm, attentive, and always one step ahead without ever being intrusive. The attention to detail throughout the property is exceptional, with thoughtful touches everywhere that make the stay feel special and personal.
What really stands out is their commitment to being truly eco-friendly, not just in words but in practice, while still offering comfort and quality at every level. Every interaction with the team reflected pride in their work and a genuine desire to ensure guests are comfortable and happy. Combined with the stunning natural setting and peaceful atmosphere, La Lancha delivers an experience that feels authentic, responsible, and memorable. We left already looking forward to returning.

Beautiful hotel on the shore of a beautiful lake. Facilities are excellent, comfortable, even too perfect. Staff is super friendly and will help all your needs. My daughters (8 and 10) ranked it in their top 3 hotels they have visited because they had so much fun, especially in the lake and pool. Very recommended.
What an amazing place. From the location to the staff to the natural environment and facilities, La Lancha is top notch. We had a large group (four families each with children) and La Lancha staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating for our group. We look forward to staying there again soon!
The place its magical, staff is very attentive.
Our ac was not working when we got there they fixed the issue with inn minutes, after that everything was just perfect , i stayed in june 3 and going back again in august… had the best time !
Beautiful stay. The rooms are stunning. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. Would definitely come back. Sad to be leaving
