Antigua Guatemala Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Les and Judy took Barrett for 3 days!!! They went to the black sand beach of Montericco on the first day, stayed in port on the 2nd day (Puerto Quetzal) and then to visit children at a library in Antigua on the last day. What did Matthew and I do, you're asking? Well, as this was the longest time we'd ever been apart from Bear (we had one overni...

2 days in Antigua didn´t do this unbelievably beautiful place justice. It is just lovely. One of the most stunning towns you will ever visit. It felt more like we were on a cosmopolitan European ´city break´, not Central American city. In complete contrast to the rest of Guatemala. We kept expecting to see Ryan Air advertising. To top it off, we...

I went back to Antigua where I chilled for a few days and ended up going over to Lake Atilan for a few days with a crew of people. I did some kayaking, some cliff jumping, went out alot in Antigua, and met alot of friends during the week.

My first stop in Guatamala was Antigua, a beautiful colonial town, but my main reason for visiting was the close proximity to Volcan Pacaya, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, with a regular lava flow which you can get as close to as you want to, if you can take the heat that is! The volcano is about an hours drive away from Antigua,...

Hey Everyone. So Thursday Jolene, Chad, and I spent the afternoon climbing Mt Pakaya (sp?)   I did not have any expectations of it and to be honest never really thought about doing it prior to this trip. IF you ever get the chance to do it - DO IT. It was just the coolest experience EVER !!! Seriously. A live volcano, lava, hot rocks, hopping vo...

Hola everyone! So yesterday I spent the afternoon walking around Santa Domingo de las Casa. Church ruins. I´m not much of a church ruin kinda girl, but I really enjoyed it. Very beautiful gardens, art museums, and it was just a beautiful day out yesterday. Then my friend and I had supper and then went to La Pena for some live local music. The mu...

Ever have one of those days that just come out of nowhere and smack you down. Today is one of those days. You hever see the fist of the invisible troll as he punches you in the back of the head. To most of you that is meaningless, but to those of you who understand, that was today. Let me begin. So today my Dad and I were to leave for El Salvad...

Apparently Antigua has a sordid history. The mother at the hostel told me about how some monks did nasty stuff to children at the monastery. I can see how the stories came up with all the other stories of Catholic priest abuses, but really, I don't think they ATE BABIES. Yeah, "las monjas comieron los niños," dijo ella. I ended up going to the m...

...and salutations. I am sitting here in the most gorgeous setting i can possibly imagine sending an email from. Oh, and I happened to wander into the only place in the city and it's the major city in the country that has a dedicated T1 connex. Kick Ass! Picture a beautiful lush garden with tropical flowers and stone fountains with lights. This ...
