Picturesque Boutique Hotel in Tikal

By David Miskit

Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel

Nearly two years ago, the Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel opened. Its interior layout is so impressive

that the hotel merited an article completed by Hotel Chatter, which detailed the hotel, its

amenities, its location and other various appeals.

The boutique hotel is located on a two hundred acre private reserve, directly between Tikal and

the local airport. As a result, there are only three options as to how to reach the hotel.

Consumers can rent a car and drive the seven to eight hour drive all on their own. Alternatively,

public transportation is provided in the form of a bus ride that takes a slightly shorter time frame, at

seven to eight hours.

Finally, there is a single one hour flight that is provided for convenience.

With such long and extensive traveling methods just to reach the hotel, guests don’t merely stop by to

snap some pictures of the establishment; overnight stays are typically the only answer for consumers.

Being in such a remote location, the design and surrounding area of the hotel has a deep

emphasis on staying in touch with the outdoors, working around an existing lagoon and jungle

provided by the private reserve area.

The Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel consists of a meager seventeen suites. Each room is separated by the central lobby and situated by a lagoon that

runs the length of the hotel.

This design allows for beautiful views from every room, of a variety of intriguing items—from the

lobby to the in-house restaurant to the pool. Most suites, however, focus on views of the lagoon and

jungle near the hotel.

In the case of the suites, no expense is spared. In room amenities include hot tubs, enclosed decks

and wood paneled rain showers. Rates for a night’s stay at the hotel start at three hundred

dollars.
