Ojala Hotel occupies that spot with a mix of private rooms, suites, and dormitory beds, built to suit both backpackers and travellers seeking more privacy. Rooms carry blackout curtains, fresh linens, and bathrooms that have been recently redone; dormitory guests share bathroom facilities. Guatemalan textiles and pottery appear throughout the property, set against a contemporary design that runs through the public spaces. The garden was built from nothing and now anchors the ground floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rooftop terrace looks out toward the surrounding volcanoes, a spot for a drink at the end of the day. It is a good perch at sunset. Ojala Cafe, the hotel's own coffee shop, sources beans from small farms near Antigua and pours them through staff trained to talk through origin and roast. You can start the day there, in the garden, before the streets fill. The hotel arranges private tours and local transport through a partner travel company, Road Runner Guatemala, useful for day trips to Pacaya volcano or the hike up Cerro de la Cruz. Antigua's former convents and ruined churches, including Santo Domingo and La Recolección, sit within walking distance, alongside the city's markets and artisan shops.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43907148218427,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/ojalahotel4.jpg?v=1785777755"},{"product_id":"casa-morasan-quezaltenango-guatemala","title":"Casa Morasan","description":"","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43907148382267,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/17648555326985915cfd8b3e52d781f4c258c442cb15da9701fmv2.png?v=1785777756"},{"product_id":"hotel-gringo-perdido-el-remate-guatemala","title":"Hotel Gringo Perdido","description":"\u003cp\u003eHotel Gringo Perdido is a lakefront hotel wedged between the Cerro Cahui forest reserve and the shore of Lake Peten Itza, in Guatemala's Peten region. The main road to Tikal runs three kilometres away.

It is a compact stay, built low against the treeline rather than over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreakfast and dinner are included and served in an open dining room that looks onto the water. A lounge bar sits beside it. Guests reach the private beach on foot; kayaks are available for paddling out across the lake, and yoga classes run on site. Wildlife moves through the grounds unprompted: birds and, at times, monkeys use the same tree cover as the guest rooms. A swimming pool sits above the shoreline with a clear view across the water, and Wi-Fi covers the public areas. Guided cultural tours to the nearby Maya sites can be arranged from the hotel, and the surrounding biotope is open for walking. Evenings are quiet, marked mostly by the sound of the lake and the jungle settling around the property.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WETU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43907156410427,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/6776\/2747\/files\/1750369392208__MG_8716-1920w.jpg?v=1785777800"}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/collections\/country-guatemala.oembed","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
