Hotel Chinimaya

Attractive colonial-style hotel with a colonnaded ochre exterior, simple but cheerful guestrooms and a peaceful courtyard area.

The attractive and peaceful colonial-style Hotel Chinimaya has a lovely colonnaded exterior, a leafy courtyard and a cheerful, sunny colour scheme of oranges and yellows. The location allows easy access to the centre of Panajachel without subjecting guests to the noise and bustle of the town centre.

Accommodation is simple but inviting, with patchwork bedspreads and plenty of light streaming into the spacious rooms. The friendly staff will go out of their way to make your stay an enjoyable one.

What our clients say

  • Highlights:- difficult to decide as there were so many Tikal was amazing, Lake Atitlan excellent with our best guide but there were so many other wonderful places and people 

    TG

  • Guatemala is just a lovely country coming to terms with tourism. However the hotels (except the quality in Coban) were beautifully maintained and in wonderful locations. The sites we visited were wonderful and the stay at Chiminos Lodge was an experience of a lifetime.

    P

  • Most memorable experience: "Talking with fisherman and sons at Livingston and sharing their excitement when looking through binoculars for the first time. Volcano erupting at Antigua."

    MT, Exeter

  • Antigua at Easter time is unbelievable. The stay at Chiminos was extraordinary. Tikal lives up to its' billing, but then the sites at Aguateca and El Ceibal were in their own way equally as exciting.

    P

  • The combo of Guatemala Highlands and Honduras/Livingston offered the experience of a variety of settings and cultures.  I must say that Antigua and Atitlan were stunning!

  • The stay at LA Lancha and visiting Tikal and Yaxha.  Also, our stay at Chan Chich
