Our stay at Luna Azul was perfect. I loved that you are on the edge of the fracas of downtown. Erin was wonderful, generous, accommodating, and over the top attentive to our needs and desires. Thank you so much. Especially thanks for taking such good care of my girls after we left. xoxo - Sand

San Pedro Luna Azul Casita
Public feedback
We had a wonderful stay in San Pedro! The place is located an easy 8 minute walk from the center of town. The place was very clean and well furnished. It's a bit hard to get a sense of the layout from the pictures: You walk in the front door into the master bedroom. Connected to the bedroom through a doorway (no door) is the main bathroom with tub/shower and toilet. Both the bedroom and bathroom have doors to the kitchen/living room area. Off the kitchen area there is a doorway (with curtain) to another small room with a single bed. From the living room, a door leads to the patio, which has access to a small bathroom with a washing machine. Overall, it was perfect for us. The patio had amazing views of the lake and we had a fire a couple nights in the living room. Wifi worked great. Erin was a very welcoming and helpful host who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was nice. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the wonderful stay, Erin!

Luna Azul is just amazing. The location is a few minute walk from the center of San Pedro but the distance is welcome to get away from the noise. Instead, you can hear the waves of the lake from your room. Breakfast is super delicious and everyone works to accommodate your schedule. You also get great local recommendations. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Highly recommend!

Erin met us at the door and graciously walked us through all the details of the place, including giving us a local map with suggestions for dining, drinking, and excursions. She also cooked us a delicious breakfast daily. The area is a bit off the main strip and therefore quiet, but it's an easy walk to town and the main dock; the best of both worlds. Also, the shower is hot and the water pressure is great (not a given when traveling here). Thanks, Erin and Solina!

Easy walking from the busy central area of San Pedro. The courtyard with birds chirping hummingbirds feeding and butterflies all around was a peaceful oasis after a day of hiking or visiting other villages. The room was lovely and cleaned daily. They did our laundry and served big cooked breakfasts every day. We had plenty of water hot and drinkable. Wifi better than we found it in Mexico. Erin was a wonderful host helping us find everything we needed from replacement glasses to language schools and the best places to eat and explore. She was always available and pleasant. Hate to leave wish we could take her with us!

Public feedback
My 2 week stay at Luna Azul was amazing! Luna Azul is a comfortable and peaceful option if traveling to San Pedro. The rooms are spacious and include little extras that make it feel like home (coffee pot, light down comforter). The patio and garden area give you lots of space to stretch out and relax. The breakfasts are delicious and very filling. The location is great - close enough to walk to restaurants but far enough away from the party scene. Most of all, the manager Erin is simply wonderful. She is attentive to your needs and is a great resource for things to do around the lake. Thank you so much, Erin for all you did for me these last few weeks! And thanks to Solina for designing such an amazing space and experience...I can't wait to return! - Gustavo

We had an amazing stay at Luna azul way beyond our expectations. The room was a great space, clean and the bathroom awesome with plenty of hot water. The garden is super pretty and a great space to take time out and relax. The bnb is in a great location close enough to walk to bars, restaurants, shops etc but far enough away to feel the sense of quiet and calm we wanted. Erin gave us some awesome recommendations of where to eat and the breakfast at the bnb was super tasty and varied everyday. Overall we had a crazy amazing stay- we didn't want to leave and were lucky enough to extend our stay. We hope to be back to stay again - thank you!

The best thing about Solina's is the help given by Erin who speaks english and tries hard to make everyone's visit pleasant. The breakfasts are a delight. There is some noise at night due to nightclubs across the water and occasional hot water issues but nothing bad. Lovely garden to rest in.

If you're visiting San Pedro, Luna Azul is where it's at – don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Erin is super accommodating/knowledgeable/hilarious/the bomb diggity/etc. You'll have an incredible time staying here, guaranteed. We didn't get a chance to meet Solina but she's the master chef working behind the scenes – she'll make you some of the best breakfasts you'll experience along the lake. Stay here (seriously)!

Public feedback- This was a wonderful place to stay! Exactly as its advertised and beautiful. Erin was so welcoming and incredibly reliable. She gave excellent recommendations for things to do and restaurants. The location is great and we always felt safe walking back and forth from the center of town; nevertheless, getting a tuktuk back was always easy. Erin even called for a tuktuk to pick us up in the morning if we needed (though again, its not necessary unless you have all your luggage). The apartment was cleaned daily which was a great perk and we loved relaxing on the patio. I hope we return, and will certainly stay with Erin again if she will have us!
- Patty CastanedaAll good in the hood. Great place, clean, friendly, yummy breakfast, and easy location. Erin's hosting is highly attentive and fun. I extended the reservation for an additional three nights since I couldn't leave it. I highly recommend this place if the other reviews haven't convinced you already.

There is good water pressure and hot water, and everything you need in the bathroom. There's a small fridge if you want to have something on hand, and drinking water. There is beer and wine available if you get want to hang out on a rainy evening. Breakfast was nice in the morning on the little verandah, and it was different every day.

Travis MaraWe can't say thank you enough to Erin and Solina for making our stay in San Pedro so exceptional! We never wanted to leave, it truly felt like a home away from home. Erin went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed - walking us around town, setting up tours and helping us with various transportation needs. Luna Azul is a quick walk into town but far enough away from all the noise directly in town. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was the best we had in Guatemala. The breakfast each morning was delicious and way more than we expected (but loved every bit!). I highly recommend Luna Azul to anyone wishing to explore Lake Atitlan and San Pedro, you won't be disappointed!!

The Casita at Luna Azul was a perfect place for my wife and I. It is about 5 minutes from all of the action in San Pedro, but far enough removed that noise was never really an issue for us. The kitchen had all of the amenities that we needed. The living area and bedroom are both very open and spacious. The bathroom is beautiful, the deep bathtub with the on-demand water heater were amazing. The casita also comes with a private porch and barbecue, where we spent many hours relaxing, taking photos, and listening to the sounds of the lake. Erin was a magnificent host. After she gave us a tour of the place, she took us on a short tour of San Pedro (which would have been longer had she not recently pulled a muscle in her leg). She gave us great recommendations for food and activities, and helped us to arrange our transportation. Erin greatly enriched our time in Guatemala, and we are looking forward to returning!
What Richard loved about your listing:

We stayed at Luna Azul for two nights and had an amazing time. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Solina but we were lucky enough to be looked after by Erin. I can't say enough good things about our stay, Erin was extremely helpful in informing us of things to do, showing us around San Pedro and also did some laundry of ours. We were only a short walk into town which was extremely useful for getting around, and it was easy to walk home on an evening time. The room was large, clean, with TV and had an ensuite (which always had hot water). There were complimentary toiletries which were really nice and all the little touches put in place really made the difference. The breakfast was delicious and filling and varied daily. Overall we had an amazing time at Luna Azul and would recommend anyone to stay there.

I can't compliment Casa Luna Azul enough. We were greeted by Erin upon arriving, who showed us around the place and answered all our questions. She is warm and sweet and super helpful. Throughout our whole stay, Erin was quick to respond to any messages I sent and completely helpful and thoughtful the whole time. I also bought some of her natural skin care products which are AMAZING too!! The rooms are clean and beautiful, with all the amenities we could have asked for. The breakfast was delicious and during the 4 mornings we stayed there, we had a different breakfast every morning! The location is a good 5 ish minute walk from San Pedro's main intersection, which makes it feel more quiet and secluded.

Entering the third blue door on the left was like stepping into a secret garden! What a hidden paradise Solina and her staff have created at Luna Azul! The physical beauty of the place is lush and lovely! When you add Erin with her warm-hearted welcome and vast knowledge of the area...well...you're transported, aren't you! The room was comfortable, the breakfast....awesome, the shower was insanely good, It was wonderful, Erin and Solina! We can't wait to come back!

- My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Luna Azul for four days. Every morning, Erin made breakfast for us which consisted of granola, yogurt and fruit or eggs, fruit and toast. Food was great! In addition, she did laundry for us which was included in the price. The garden was beautiful and incredible to relax in. There were wine glasses and bottle openers available to guests. Shower was also high pressure and hot. We would highly recommend staying at Luna Azul. Our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, the bed and breakfast was peaceful and quiet.

What a lovely green oasis did Solina create in San Pedro. Just a little bit out of town but that's perfect! You can easly walk to all the buzz (5 to 10 minute walk) but if you want to relax, the garden is a nice place to hang out. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and varies everyday. We happened to have one of the best nights at Solina's. Solina, it was just perfect! Thank you so much. You were a great host!

We have used Airbnb for most of our travels for the past few years and our stay at Luna Azul was by far our favorite experience. The Casita is wonderful and has so many of the little extras that were missing from other stays at Lake Atitlan (we stayed in 4 locations around the lake in a 2 wk period) like beverages (some for purchase, and hey-we were happy to walk in and have a cold beer!), breakfast items, a kitchen you could actually cook in, bottled water, nice towels (bath and kitchen), firewood... the list goes on... Everything was very clean, extremely comfortable and the space was nicely laid out. We loved the patio overlooking the lake and enjoyed spending time out there getting to know Erin and Solina, along with the guests downstairs (from London and Holland. It was so fun to hear their travel stories). We cannot say enough about how well we were treated by both Erin and Solina during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of both. Erin took us on a tour of San Pedro after showing us all the details of Casita and then joined us later for dinner before leaving on vacation the next morning. While she was away Solina was so welcoming and made us feel so much at home that we extended our stay by another night. We were extremely happy that we did, as this was by far our favorite part of our trip to the lake. San Pedro was lively and fun and Luna Azul was a big part of our enjoyment. Thank you to Erin and Solina for a wonderful

Laurie Greig Staying at Luna Azul was a fantastic part of being in San Pedro in so many ways. Erin was a wonderful guide, hostess, resource and Solina, while not visible like Erin, was present in the amazing breakfasts she prepared each day and energy she puts into the surroundings. The garden was beautiful, peaceful and calming and the room had everything available to me. I loved staying on the edge of town and having the opportunity to be there in the tranquil environment as well as being able to safely walks into town, day or night. - Shane Slattery
- From the moment we arrived in Luna Azul everything was just exceptional, one of the best if not the best place we've stayed in central America. Erin is an amazing host, made us feel right at home from the word go and was always there with great help and advice. If anything the pictures don't do the place justice, the gardens are beautiful and the rooms are very tastefully decorated with all the extras you'd get in a highly rated hotel. Breakfast was consistently very good and varied. Don't be concerned about being outside the main strip, it's only about a 5 minute safe walk which having stayed there is I think an ideal distance from some of the noisier bars. Stay here, anyone young or older, it's top class and thanks Erin!

Dominique Del Col - We had a wonderful time staying in the casita! The apartment was spacious with a great view, and incredibly clean and tidy with wonderful amenities. The bed was really comfy and the living room fireplace was greatly appreciated on the chilly nights that followed the hot San Pedro days. The town is only a few minutes walk and the locals are truly lovely. We tried very hard not to adopt all of the friendly street dogs that roam the area! We highly recommend kayaking around the lake, and visiting the local health food store and Italian restaurant. (Great pizza!!) Erin was a great host and offered a thorough tour of the area including recommendations for local businesses and places to eat. We had a brilliant time and would be thrilled to return!

She went out of her way to make sure we were well informed about the area and well cared for at all times. Elegant and tasty breakfasts. Delightful conversation with host and guests. Luna Azul and the hosts are a bit of paradise. Feel blessed to now have them all as friends. Highly recommended.

- Thank you Erin for taking such good care of your guests! Luna Azul is just as described- a lovely, clean and well run oasis close enough to the busy happenings of San Pedro. Varied and delicious breakfasts and a really welcoming, caring atmosphere. Erin was accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable about both the area, and where to locate homemmade peanutbutter chocolale bars:) I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again. Thank you Erin and wishing you a good 2016!
What Sydney loved about your listing:
The walk into town, the safety of the area and the homey feel of the listing. Erin was accommodating, helpful, and a pleasure to talk with.

imothy August - This was my second stay at Luna Azul, though the first time staying in the "casita" (larger suite on the second floor). Once again, everything was terrific. Luna Azul is in an ideal location, easy and safe 5 minute walk into town, just far enough to get away from the noise of the hostels and bars. The property also has a great view, and hosts Erin and Solina are incredibly friendly and accomodating.
What Timothy loved about your listing:
Nothing. It sucked. I wrote the glowing review just because I enjoy lying.
What Timothy thought you could improve about the experience:
Get rid of Erin. She's horrible. She forced Melanie to have fun and spend all of my money.
September 2015 - Jenna-Belle HallWe had the most lovely stay at Luna Azul. Erin was our host, she made sure we had everything we needed and showed us around town assisting with any requests we had. The location was absolutely perfect, close enough to walk to everything in town and far enough that we could enjoy the serenity of this spectacular area. The property is beautiful and tie breakfast were restaurant quality. Definitely stay here if you have the opportunity, fantastic value for money.

- We had an amazing stay at Solina's property. We wished we could've stayed longer. Couldn't fault a thing. Solina greeted us and was more than accommodating. She went above and beyond to secure us a reservation at an amazing cheese and wine restaurant (that too was incredible). Erin was amazing and took the time to show us around town, where to eat, what to do etc. All her recommendations were spot on. The house itself is beautiful and has stunning views of the Lake. It's clean and spacious and when we come back, we will definitely stay here again.

Great place. Erin looked after us really well, was always there to answer questions and provided far more service than we expected. The apartment was perfect for us and we all wished we could stay longer. It's just a short, pleasant walk to the main part of San Pedro (far enough to avoid the party noise at night) and then lancha trip to anywhere else. If we come back to S.P. this is the place we'd like to stay.

Luna Azul Casita was the place to stay in San Pedro. We booked because of the view and what a view of Lake Atitlan!! We met Solina as she lives next door. Erin, the manager, was a gem and she was there many times a day checking in and telling us where to go and eat. We even went with her to a special night of gringo bingo. The casita was spacious and clean with very large bathroom and extra one outside. We would definitely stay there again

Luna Azul is such a gorgous apartment with stunning views of the lake. The private terrace is the perfect place to relax in the sun and enjoy a bbq! My mother and I stayed here for a few weeks and loved every minute - the rooms were cleaned all the time and Erin (who is quite possibly the nicest and most helpful person ever) was always there to give us great tips on where to eat and visit in San Pedro and other towns around the lake but she always respected our privacy! I would highly recommend staying here for your time in San Pedro, it is quiet and peaceful but still close enough to walk to all the restaurants!!! Thanks for the great stay Erin :)

Five of us traveling to San Pedro for 14 days. We rented out the casita and one of the bed and breakfast bedrooms. I could not have been happier with our stay at Luna Azul. We were able to cook dinner together on most nights and enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets on the patio every day. The house is far enough away from all the noisy hostels, but close enough that it is only a 4-5 minute stroll into town. Solina and Erin were so kind and incredibly helpful. Erin took us on a walking tour the first day, set us up with an amazing cheese and wine reservation in a neighboring town, and provided countless suggestions. I loved staying there. It's safe and secure. They clean everyday. The bedroom below had a tasty breakfast each morning (which they catered to our changing schedule due to our Spanish classes). There's an amazing garden area below and a great private patio over looking the lake (off the casita). Right behind the house there's a mini beach, which we visited frequently. If you're looking for a non-hostel, quiet retreat, I would highly recommend staying at Solinas place. I hope to return someday. Thanks again for everything

This place was so much more than I even expected! Solina's home is so beautiful and the garden is incredibly lush and gorgeous. The apartment I stayed in was breathtaking, with a wonderful patio area and view of the lake. There are many items in the apartment that make you feel at home. Pictures do not do this place justice! I will stay here every time I come to San Pedro. Not in the hustle and bustle of the city which is great to listen to from a distance. Solina was so nice, and Erin the property manager was very accommodating and great to talk to. Thanks ladies! Can't wait to come back!

We have used Airbnb for most of our travels for the past few years and our stay at Luna Azul was by far our favorite experience. The Casita is wonderful and has so many of the little extras that were missing from other stays at Lake Atitlan (we stayed in 4 locations around the lake in a 2 wk period) like beverages (some for purchase, and hey-we were happy to walk in and have a cold beer!), breakfast items, a kitchen you could actually cook in, bottled water, nice towels (bath and kitchen), firewood... the list goes on... Everything was very clean, extremely comfortable and the space was nicely laid out. We loved the patio overlooking the lake and enjoyed spending time out there getting to know Erin and Solina, along with the guests downstairs (from London and Holland. It was so fun to hear their travel stories). We cannot say enough about how well we were treated by both Erin and Solina during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of both. Erin took us on a tour of San Pedro after showing us all the details of Casita and then joined us later for dinner before leaving on vacation the next morning. While she was away Solina was so welcoming and made us feel so much at home that we extended our stay by another night. We were extremely happy that we did, as this was by far our favorite part of our trip to the lake. San Pedro was lively and fun and Luna Azul was a big part of our enjoyment. Thank you to Erin and Solina for a wonderful stay!
Response from Solina:
Thank you and keep in touch! We'll try the best Margarita recipe ever! Thank you Solina and Erin
What Linda loved about your listing:
Erin and Solina!!! they were the best! You guys ROCK!!! When we come back, we will definitely stay with you! I'm going to send that margarita recipe soon. I promise. :)
Heleen Bos
What a lovely green oasis did Solina create in San Pedro. Just a little bit out of town but that's perfect! You can easly walk to all the buzz (5 to 10 minute walk) but if you want to relax, the garden is a nice place to hang out. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and varies everyday. We happened to have one of the best nights at Solina's. Solina, it was just perfect! Thank you so much. You were a great host!
Cassandra Dawes
I had a great time staying at Luna Azul. The room was comfortable and clean, with many thoughtful touches. The garden and the nearby lake were gorgeous. I didn't get to meet Solina, but Erin was very welcoming and had lots of helpful advice. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Very clean and comfortable place to stay! Awesome host who cooks yummy breakfasts, would recommend staying here to anyone! Far enough from the hustle and bustle of San Pedro that you can get a great nights sleep in very comfortable beds.
Response from Solina:
We enjoyed having you here as well. Hope to see you back again soon :) Say Hello to Canada for me hehe... ;)
Private Feedback:
Thanks for a fantastic stay and being a great host!!!! Yummy breakfast and by far the most comfortable bed in Central America thus far!

What a truly wonderful place to stay. I felt as though I was 'in heaven'. Solina & Erin work so hard to make Casita Luna Azul a 'home from home'. There was just about everything there that you could possible need. They even provided things that you didn't know you needed. The apartment was huge & airy. Everything was spotlessly clean & was cleaned/checked daily. The bed was very comfortable & all the linens were of excellent quality & changed when needed. The balcony & view of the Lake & mountains were fantastic. The kitchen was fully equipped & all sorts of spices/oils etc were provided.
The large bathroom had a huge bathtub which was very welcome after 4 weeks of travelling with only showers.
There was a BBQ on the balcony & a supply of wood & there was also an open fireplace in the lounge (I didn't need it but I'm sure it would be lovely).
I made use of one of the kayaks on several occasions & this was a great experience & very peaceful.
Erin provided very good advice on where to visit & where to eat etc.
Location in San Pedro is good as it is about a 5-10 minute walk to the main 'Pana Dock' so it is far enough away from 'Party Central' but close enough if you want to join in the fun!
I can't praise them enough & can thoroughly recommend a stay at Casita Luna Azul.

We enjoyed our stay at Lake Atitlan once again! Erin, our host, was very friendly and accommodating. Gave great restaurant suggestions, pointed us in the right direction if we were looking for something in particular, etc. Brought us fresh lemons from the tree one day (and on a very rainy day, brought an umbrella to our door). House is clean and spacious: big bathroom with nice tub, hot water works great. Outdoor patio had nice view of the lake and also a grill which was bonus. Kitchen was already stocked with some basics which is always nice (tea, spices, cooking oil, etc.) and laundry detergent for the washing machine which was convenient! Kitchen also has lots of plates, bowls, pots, pans, utensils, coffee maker, hot water kettle, etc. which made cooking meals very easy. Nice location as you are a very short walk to the markets and main streets of San Pedro (but also a nice distance away from all of that so you can enjoy quiet mornings on the outdoor patio). Also walking distance to San Juan. WiFi works great. Love the two very friendly dogs on the property. No complaints, would stay here again!

Response from Solina:Thank you again for staying with us.. and we would love to have you back again. You are such a beautiful couple and was a pleasure meeting you both. See you again soon I hope.

Firstly what a wonderful place!! At the end of the road and right by the lake is this special apartment with loads of space, fully equipped kitchen with everything, I mean everything - essential cooking stuff like oil and spices and more, comfy bed, a lovely bathroom complete with a bathtub. Oh and the deck was just amazing, sitting out there with a wine and relaxing was the perfect anecdote from our previous 5 weeks of study. We were warmly welcomed by Erin and Coco, Erin is a fun and very friendly soul who went out of her way to make sure we were having a great time. She gave us perfect restaurant advice also. She provided us clear instructions and a map on how to get to her place. During the day it's peaceful to watch the lake and listen to the laughter of the swimmers in the lake, views are amazing. The only downside is the hostals across the bay like to play loud music, which seems to reverberate across the water, so take some earplugs, it usually stops about 11 or 12.

This was of of my best AirBNB experiences, and I've had many in the last two years. Solina and Erin have created a wonderful space to explore Lake Atitlan. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying at this location.

Luna Azul was the best experience. I really loved having this home away from home for 2 weeks while I studied in San Pedro. My room was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast every morning was amazing and tailored to my tastes/needs. Erin is a wonderful manager and was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. I really appreciated the privacy of staying at this little bnb a short walk from the main part of town. I highly recommend Luna Azul and I will stay here again next time I visit San Pedro! thank you!

Luna Azul and host Erin provided everything I was looking for. It was affordable, relaxing, beautiful, and quiet. San Pedro is full of hostels catering to younger crowds on a tight budget. For just a few dollars more per night, Luna Azul B&B offers amenities and privacy which are hard to find elsewhere in town. In my opinion, the location is also perfect. It's an easy 10 minute cobblestone street walk to the informal "town center" (Pana dock), or for just a few quetzales a "tuk tuk" can get you there even faster. So it's easy enough to come and go as you please to visit shopping, restaurants, bars, etc., but also far enough away from the noise so that you can enjoy a good night's sleep. Finally, Erin was a great host. She made every effort to provide tips on where to eat, visit, shop, etc. She has years of experience in San Pedro and was happy to assist in any way she could. Her restaurant recommendations alone were the best (and surprisingly affordable). Overall, I highly recommend Luna Azul B&B for anyone looking for a perfectly relaxing, yet affordable vacation in one of the beautiful locations in Guatemala!

The place is absolutely beautiful, with a wonderful peaceful garden, and the breakfasts are always delicious and filling. The place is a short walk from town which is great as it is nice and quiet but still very convenient. Thank you Solina and Erin for an amazing stay!

Solina and Erin were great hosts! They made delicious breakfast every morning, provided maps and information on where to eat and drink locally, and were just generally friendly and caring. The listing itself is charming, comfortable, and clean. Good location about a 7 minute walk from main tourist area--far enough away to avoid most of the loud parties at night, but close enough to walk safely even at night.

Amazing. What a wonderful place and I honesty can't imagine why you'd stay elsewhere. Room was amazing. Best shower in months. Incredible breakfast included and perfect location on the lake and just out of the noise of town. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat and you should definitely come here. Great value also. December 2014 Shane And Maree
STAY HERE! Everything about Luna Azul is perfect. Solina and Erin were soooo helpful. Even going to the farmacia for us when we both got a tummy bug and making sure we had anything they thought might make us more comfortable. The place is an easy walk from the panajachel dock but far enough from there main backpackers strip so that it is nice and quiet. Right on the lake with a beautiful garden setting and gourmet breakfast every morning. I can't say it enough. STAY HERE! You won't regret it. November 2014 Lisa First, the absolutely wonderful things: Erin (the manager when Solina's away) was absolutely great. She's organized and we emailed back and forth numerous times before my stay, so I was excited to meet her. When I stayed, she checked in on me all the time, and provided many recommendations. Rosenda and her sister made delicious breakfasts (according to what I loved) while also washing my clothes twice a wk and offered to clean my room all the time. A coffee pot and all supplies are there, as is free water. My room was cozy and private, and it's obvious that great attention was paid to artistic details. The neighborhood (a 7-min walk to the town center) also felt safe, and is quiet. I slept incredibly well (a rarity in this town). The sweet dog Coco visited me regularly, which I appreciated!! August 2014 Ryan
Out of all the places I stayed during my 3-week trip to Guatemala, Luna Azul was the best! The entire experience was wonderful, and I only wish I could stay longer in paradise. Erin, who was taking care of the property on behalf of Solina, was wonderful. She greeted me each morning with a lovely plate of fresh fruit, was always available to answer any questions I had, and gave fantastic restaurant recommendations. The property itself is lovely, with a lakeside view, comfortable bed, and most important, hot shower that actually works! I loved Luna Azul and would recommend it to anyone visiting San Pedro! July 2014 Hubert Solinas casa is a paradise on earth! A wunderful room with your own garden in front of the lake... Quiet, relaxing, with a good breakfast, you will love it. Best place to stay at Lago de Atitlán! Solina is like a good friend, she was so helpful, kind and it was not easy for us to leave her and her casa.. Stay there!! April 2014 |

Luna Azul was a lovely place, just far enough away from bars etc and close enough to the docks and central hub to get to places. It has a lovely private garden to enjoy, with tables to eat your, always delicious, breakfast from. They have a couple of kayaks to borrow, which you sit quite high in so they can be tippy if you are not careful, but a great relaxing way to spend some time, just be aware of winds as they definitely can make a difference to your experience. Erin and Solina will help with suggestions the best they can and are very friendly. I would suggest the nature reserve in Panajachel with zipline and butterfly conservatory, as well as the nature reserve at San Marcos with platforms to jump into the lake and if you hike up great view points. If you like to walk ask about the walk left of the Santiago docks to its secluded beach, more rural and very nice. I had one of the single rooms but the "Cassida" spot with mote rooms would be lovely for a family January 2015 Jonathan All we can say is wow! Solina's home is even more beautiful than seen in the pictures. She, and Erin, are extraordinarily gracious hosts. It's less than a 10 minute walk from the boat dock as stated and far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town that you feel like you're really far away. The breakfast is outstanding, free coffee as well. The rooms are impeccably furnished and comfortable. The garden is a great place to hang out and relax. Erin was an excellent source of information about San Pedro and the Lake area as well. The next time we're in Guatemala we'll definitely stay here again. December 2014 Jessica Luna azul is a lovely spot and I was grateful to have a clean, nice place to stay. Erin, neighbor and caretaker was always available and attentive to details. The breakfasts were awesome. And the local Mayan couple caretakers are really kind and lovely as well as helpful. The music and night life sounds can carry across the lake at night so if that is a concern for you, bring earplugs. It's an easy and nice walk to town yet away from the row of tourist hotels and hostels. I enjoyed my stay. I felt safe, it was very clean, and I was well cared for. Thank you. August 2014 Laci I absolutely LOVED Luna Azul. Solina and Erin were both incredibly helpful and sweet. The breakfasts every morning were amazing and our rooms were very clean. The garden is perfect for lounging and finishing up the Spanish homework from the day. Even Coco (the dog) was friendly and welcoming! July 2014 Response from Solina:It was our pleasure to have both you ladies stay with us. Thank you for the postcard, novel and peanut butter!! I have to say Laci, that you and Sarah were absolute perfect guests and we all really enjoyed and loved having you here! Big Hugs to you both.Safe travels back to Colorado. We will all miss you both. Thank you |
