Hotel Mikaso at Lake Atitlan
A waterfall of brilliant bougainvillea cascades from the terrace and balconies of Hotel Mikaso, where shiny blue and white ceramic tiles sparkle in the sun at San Pedro's most charming, cleanest place to stay.
A three-level building with in-your-face views of San Pedro Volcano and the lake, Mikaso possesses such romantic, Colonial-style charm in such a picturesque setting, that you would not be surprised to see Indiana Jones discussing crystal skulls with a Maya shaman on the rooftop terrace.
The twelve rooms, all with gleaming bathrooms, high ceilings and ceiling fans, are distinguished by tile floors, wooden carvings, wrought iron and other atmospheric touches that give Mikaso a personality missing at other hotels in the area. With wall-length windows on three sides, the spacious dining room on the top floor provides a dramatic backdrop for the town's only genuine Spanish cuisine.
Gourmet Mediterranena Cuisine
Paella and Spanish omelets are some of the choices that you won't find elsewhere. They also serve Grilled Steak, Fish Parmesan, Spanish Sausages and other tasty specialties. A fine wine list and full bar offer top-notch selections, and for dessert, the Chocolate Fondue for Two is highly recommended.
Things to Do at Hotel Mikaso
Mikaso Cinema is the only place in San Pedro showing Spanish-language films with English subtitles. Wednesday and Sunday nights feature documentaries, comedies and other films from Spain and Latin America.
When not dining or watching a movie, you can access free WI-FI or play cards or other games in the dining room and on the terrace. The lovely garden is perfect for relaxing during the day.
Close to the Santiago dock, Hotel Mikaso is just a few steps from some of the town's top Spanish language schools, La Piscina for swimming or sunbathing, and nearby bars and restaurants. A well-lit, paved sidewalk leads from the lobby almost all the way to Seventh Avenue.
Reached by tuk tuk or lancha to the hotel's private dock, Mikaso is the jewel of San Pedro lodging, an enchanting place to stay, dine, relax and enjoy your vacation.
