Cute nature reserve with different fun activities. We walked through the butterfly dome (mariposario), through all of the bridges (fun but not recommended if you’re afraid of heights), and enjoyed pupusas from the restauran. I highly recommend it and it’s worth the GTQ80 per person. We did not stay in the hotel.

We did not stay in the hostel, but we did the Ultra X-Tremos zipline. Online they stress how important it is that you're a half hour early, but the guides were half an hour late. Not a huge deal since the guides were professional and clearly very knowledgeable. We felt safe and had a great time. I would recommend booking tickets online in advance.

I stumbled across the nature reserve when exploring. It was only 20Q to enter and well worth it! The mirador was insane! I went pretty early so nobody else was around and got to sit in the sun and journal on a bench with the most stunning view as my background!

Came here for the zip line and had such a great time. Thank you to the guides Alfredo and Moises, they were so kind and great with instructions! This was our first time ziplining, we did the ultra (longer hike but 100% worth it). We got to see some monkeys on the way up, they threw them some bananas. The butterfly exhibit was amazing and the beach had a nice quiet view of the lake.

Beautiful spot, full of lush jungle vegetation and hanging bridges, and trails that make you feel like you’ve stumbled into a jungle adventure film. The hike up to the waterfall was especially stunning and easy. the falls are an Instagram backdrop. Now, full disclosure: I may have accidentally created a wildlife incident. I tried out my best monkey call (clearly a hidden talent of mine), and suddenly every tourist on the trail froze in anticipation, cameras ready, whispering, “Monkeys!” … only to find out it was just me being me. Sorry, folks. The food at the lodge was ok, but nothing to write home about. The real surprise was the butterflies exhibit. It was great with our kids. Not going to do the zipline as I'm way to chicken. I'll stick to chicken noises. Worth a visit—for the views, the bridges, and maybe a laugh if you catch another amateur primate impersonator.

Beautiful park with an enclosed butterfly exhibit. Trails through the forest to a waterfall. Small little beach on the lake for bathing. Highly recommend if in Pana :)

Lot of trash in the water for a reserve especially for charging Q80. Reserves should be held to a higher standard in maintaining the environment. Thats what the money is for. Also no monkeys or any animals. Maybe bad timing. Butterfly dome was the best part but not worth the price.

The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. My wife and I got the iced mint chocolate coffee and iced dirty chai. Both drinks were one of the best we've ever had. The coffee had a full body and was not over powered by the milk or mint chocolate. The dirty chai had a well balanced spice and smooth flavor. The price to quality ratio for the bulk coffee beans was out of this world. Would highly recommend!

Had to go back a second time. Got the Incredible Hulk (mint and chocolate latte - 18Q) and the mocha (20Q). Both were amazing. I don’t normally like sweet drinks but they were well balanced.

Amazing coffee shop, do such good chai lattes and hot chocolates. Quick service and very good price, cheapest I’ve found In Guatemala so far (so this quality of coffee) 20Q for most things. Do alternative milks too. Super tasty

It's a small coffee shop and roasting place. They selected exceptional beans from Atitlan Lake area and loasted it professionally. All staffs are very kind. It's definitely recommended.

very welcoming staff - they help you with any question , politely and with smile 👍 I had capuchino with soya milk - be honest , I do not like taste of milk ( even I drink alternative milk everywhere - this one was a bit different . that’s why I can’t understand well taste of coffee) maybe I should come back for other options ) they accept only cash 💵

A delightful coffee shop, full of pro baristas serving Guatemalan coffee, that by many is considered one of the best in the world. The coffee is balanced, not too acidic, sweet with flowery notes. The lattes, macchiatos and cold brew with ice were one of the best we have ever tried. A wall proudly displaying their awards tells the whole story. We left with 5 bags of their beans. 🤘

My husband found this place! One of the things he did really well! Coffee taste so bomb and chill vibe!! I asked them where the coffee beans are from and they showed in picture of lake map I'm proud of them cause they are Korean😆😆👍👍👍👍 사장님 커피 진짜 맛있어요!! 건강하시고 오래장사하세요!

The music here puts you in a vibe to receive the food. The menu is small but there is something for everyone. The food is beyond tasty and the pepper sauce adds lovely variance to the meal. The restaurant is upstairs and has two floors. The waiters speak fluent English and are really pleasant

Amazing food! Most polite and friendly staff ever. Everyone has the biggest smiles. Creative smoothies and beautiful food with unique options. Hummin' toast was phenomenal. My partner had Bella's beats toasts.

Great little spot! Loved the food and especially the green smoothie. Just wish my time was longer in Panajachel to try more items on the menu! 100% recommend!

LOVED everything about this place. Great location with rooftop patio, delicious food and drinks, fabulous staff and service. Would have eaten here every day if we had longer in Panajachel. Thanks for a great experience!

We loved the Little Spoon! Stopped after finishing Acatenango for a well deserved lunch. The smoothie, tikka masala bowl, cheesecake, and bacon panini was delicious. The staff were friendly and spoke English. We will be going back again on this trip

We came here for breakfast and had the most delicious food with great service! Totally recommend to stop in for a meal. There’s 3 levels, so be sure to explore and see where you want to take a seat.

Food was great. Great value for money, nice atmosphere on the rooftop. Waiter spoke fluently english and very nice. Can highly recommend this place 👍

We only went here to drink something, the restaurant is really cosy and the atmosphere is nice. The service however is very slow (we waited about 20 minutes for two drinks). Prices are quite high but they are in a touristy area.

Beautiful breakfast spot with a gorgeous courtyard and colorful decor. We came by for breakfast and the food was good. Also the chia seed drinks were a great thing to try though the cups were a lot bigger than we expected.

Very tranquil environment with shade and plants bringing a lush peace. Food is very tasty. The menu has great options for all taste buds. Don’t come here if you’re in a rush. Quality takes a few more minutes. Many foreign travelers can be found glued to their phone finding their next adventure.

Great food and service. They do not offer credit card payment, just a heads up. I would visit them again. I attached pictures of the biggest hash brown I have ever eaten and my pancakes.

Very nice and relaxed place which is a bit of an oasis where you get away from the busy streets. Perfect place to work, read or contemplate life over a nice drink or some food. The breakfast menu is big! I had the fruit salad and two fried eggs, and with that two coffees. Considering the location and the beautiful arranged fruit salad the prices are very fair: 82Q including tip. Btw; it is the best fruit salad I have had on the whole trip.

This place never disappoints! I go to this place at least once every time I’m in Panajachel. Many things are made in house like the bagels, bread and more. There are vegan and vegetarian options as well. The food is great, the drinks are great, the ambiance is great and the staff is great!

Ate here for breakfast one morning and the food wasn’t bad. The prices are 2-3X more than anything else we had in Pana for the same, if not less flavorful, food. We didn’t feel the prices reflected the quality. They do have Hi Chairs available. Food took a while to come and 2 people in our party had significant tummy problems after eating there the rest of the day.

Excellent place for a drink and live music. I wouldn't recommend their food though

Great lively bar. Came for a few beers and a pizza. Food was actually delicious and the live band was amazing.

Cool place to hangout, listen to Rock music, have drinks and eat bar food!

Live rock music, tasty finger food, terrific service in an adequate cozy atmosphere

Very nice atmosphere and live music. We enjoyed our time there, it was packed of people ! The drinks was a bit expensive.

Super fun, friendly, safe place for food, drinks and music videos until live music starts at 9.

Would rate -1 if possible. I (1p) was sitting at the bar and the live band was starting to play and it was a bit too loud for my convenience. Barkeeper told me I could move to the table in the back (2p). Then the bouncer told me I had to go back to the bar. When I refused they just gave me the bill and told me to go. Not solo traveler friendly, they just want to maximize profits even when it means bouncing a paying solo traveler.

Maybe this is considered not bad Thai food for Guatemala. It's definitely not great. The reviews are incredibly generous so maybe I came with too high expectations. Would be considered meh-to-bad in places with good Thai food food. I got the Penang Curry with chicken for Q60. Came with good amount of meat and veggies. Food came incredibly fast though. I came in with a water bottle and they told me I couldn't drink it. I was the only person in the restaurant the entire time. Midway through the meal, I said I was going to drink my water outside and then the waitress said I could drink at my table but then the cook later said I couldn't again.

I ordered the green curry here, and it was surprisingly good! It’s not quite like having it in Thailand, but it comes close. The ladies running the place are really nice, and I love that everything on the menu is the same price, 60 quetzales. A great spot for a tasty and affordable Thai meal in Panajachel!

Amazing Thai food! We had a chicken green curry and chicken pa nang. Massive portions, so much flavour and only 60Q per dish. The staff are lovely and there are playing cards on every table. Recommend eating here!!!

I met Dao for the 1st time today. She is very sweet and cooks excellent food with good quantity at very reasonable prices (about $8 US as of this writing). She speaks some English, Italian, and Spanish in addition to her native Thai. My friends had the Shrimp Pad Thai while I had the Pad See Ew. Highly recommended if you're in the Pana area!

Delicious veggie pad Thai! A nice surprise to realize after a few bites that it not only had tofu but tempeh also!! Extra protein. Huge portion, great flavor. Saved half the meal and took it to go for the airport. Win!

Must have been the best Pad Kra Pao I've had outside of Thailand. While the atmosphere is nothing special, the food is great! Really recommend this place if you are looking for Thai food. Prices are also very reasonable.

Dao Thai restaurant delivered‼️ I've been to Thailand and the dining experience here was authentic. The service was gracious and the Tom Yum soup with shrimp and medium (requested) heat was on the mark. I am looking forward to becoming a regular customer since I recently became a permanent resident of Guatemala and am staying in Panajachel for several months. Further exploration of the menu will be a pleasure.

I didn’t have high expectations from the reviews but it was worse than I thought. The server recommended the chicken burger to me so I said okay to that. It is disgusting I can’t even take a full bite. And I got two unfortunately. The best part of the whole meal was the drink. Fries were mediocre and had no salt. The burger was soooooo dry and hard and I’m not picky.

Ok to be fair I did not eat here. But I had read on a travel blog (one focusing on traveling with kids) that it had this amazing, you don’t want to miss this breakfast. And when we arrived it was all burgers and looked like fast food. So just know that at least lunch isn’t anything special by the looks of it. It did take us a while to get there so I understand if breakfast wasn’t being served but a fast food, chain-feeling burger restaurant is the last place I’d want to eat in Panajachel and I was disappointed by the recommendation.

An American Diner breakfast "The Gringo". Free coffee refills. Eggs cooked to order. Great tasting strips of bacon. Loved the service too. After two months of travel, I needed this.

The pancakes are too big: two per person is largely enough! The granola was tasty, if you like cinnamon. Our plates arrived with twenty minutes interval, which is really bad according to my European standards. Good coffee, with free refill. Friendly but unexperienced staff. PS. THEIR PLAYLIST IS AMAZING 😉

Mister Jons is obviously catering to American tourists but we saw Guatemalans there too. The decor consists of old B-movie posters and star wars memorobilia. They have menus both in Spanish and English. The food is very good. We ordered the 2 for one special on Monday and paid 4$ usd for 4 double cheeseburgers! The buns are homemade bread and the whole thing was delicious. We also tried the bean and cheese burrito and mozzarela sticks. Everything was excellent. Our server was kind and helpful. The credit card machine wasn't working so we paid in quetzals which wasn't a big deal. Overall highly recommend this place.

This is one of the best value places in Panajachel... They have good food at a great price... For breakfast you can get a full meal either the "gringo" or "chapin" breakfast for just Q25 add Q2 so it's Q27 and you get unlimited coffee with it... The beer on draft is always Q10 (bargain) light or dark beer... Best crunchy tacos in town Q15 for 3 and some of the best offers in town like on Monday you get 2 doble burgers with fries and drinks for only Q40 that's only Q20 each as well as on Fridays 2 chicken sandwich meals for only Q40... This is a great place to grab something good cheap and quick in pana...

The milk shake is watery and tasteless. The bread is dry and half of the burger is empty. the fried chicken is hopeless. I feel sad the chicken died for this. If you order take away, be aware what they put in the bag. They forgot my fried chicken!
