This place is as magical and special as it gets. Put it on your bucket list. It's stunning!!!
This is not just a wonderful hotel, it's paradise on Earth...The moment you get to the Hotel you just don't want to ever leave. I spent 3 days here but really felt like 1 month. It's not just an hotel, it's a spiritual retreat with gardens and a pool to make you forget the three beautiful Volcanos. Really!!! It's only a few hours away from USA. Once you get to the Airport, a car will pick you up and bring you to Lake Atitlan. Then the hotel will arrange for a boat to get you to Casa Prana as it's only accessible from the Lake. It's that easy.
Once you get to the hotel, you will feel right away the incredible energy of the land. The owners discovered this part of the lake 15 years ago and built initially a holiday retreat for themselves. There was absolutely nothing before. So every element, every stone had to be brought by boat. Which seems like a monumental task.
I can not imagine the amount of work, passion, sacrifices and dedication it took them to create this beautiful place in this part of the world. And once you get here, you can see how much love they put into it.
They decided a few years ago to open the doors to the public. With only 8 rooms it feels very special and intimate. The crew is incredibly caring and thoughtful and the food is absolutely delicious and super healthy. Most of the food comes from their own vegetable garden.
I met the owners who have an incredible sense of hospitality and clearly do their best to make their guests enjoy their stay as much as possible.
You will spend your time deciding where you could have breakfast or lunch as the crew will set up the table wherever you want on the property.
The Gardens are to die for. Every single corner has been designed by the owner and up to 8 gardeners take care of the land constantly. I was blown away by the amount of beauty in this place. I felt grateful I was allowed to stay here and will definitely come back for a longer stay.
So if you are looking for a place to rest, recharge your batteries and feel spiritually nourished, this is the place to go. I should also mention that the hotel can arrange any activities you want to do. That said once I got here I just forgot about everything else and allowed myself to let go and enjoy "being". A big thank you to the owners who created a healing place for people to come, rest, reconnect with themselves and get in touch with the beauty of life and the sacredness of Lake Atitlan.
