Baraka Atitlan - Lake & Beach

a little too remote for me, but very pleasant Only there for a night. The host/manager could have done a better job explaining how to get there, instead of simply suggesting to use Waze maps! Also, they are building a new house at the bottom of the property, so it's a little dangerous having to walk thru a construction site to get to the beach down below. It should have been mentioned in the description of the property. The place itself is cozy, clean and has great views, although partially obstructed by the vegetation. A little far from the village, especially if you are walking at night, but you can always take a tuktuk.

Place is perfect for a couples retreat.

A magical place with incredible views of the lake and beautifully considered design giving the feeling of being embedded in nature. We loved being able to access to lake from the private dock and playa - Greg was also kind enough to allow us to use the kayaks. Greg could not have been more welcoming and we enjoyed getting to know him and understanding his vision for the property and his home. A truly wonderful and rejuvenating stay, we didn’t want to leave!

If you are looking for an experience way beyond your expectations, Baraka is the right place. The location, facilities, the view, the lake and the host will all combine to make a trip you will never forget. Stay here as long as possible, don’t rush and you will see how this place works its magic. 🫶🏼 We feel blessed and thankful for our unforgettable week in San Marcos La Laguna, calling Baraka our beloved home.

I had the pleasure to stay at Greg’s place for a 8 days. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s all I was wishing for and more! I was received with flowers and delicious local fruits in the table. It’s such a lovely apartment beautiful decorated with lovely details , the lighting it’s so romantic at night , bright and shiny day time. The kitchen it’s full equipped with a water filter.The bathroom it’s beautiful! The a outdoor space it’s gorgeous with direct view at the lake and flowers hanging from the ceiling. I had the most special dinners and breakfast seating there with the sounds of the waves in the lake as background. Honestly it felt like a dream every day. Going down the steps in the property it’s a beautiful private beach area with a private dock. The water it’s crystal clear perfect to hangout and swim. With the view and majestic energy of the volcanos right in front of you. The whole property it’s so beautiful and well maintained you can feel the love and caring that Greg has put into it. There were workers around the property doing gardening some days. Available to help out any time for anything I needed in the apartment. There where also two lovely lady’s available that helped me with my laundry for low price. I’m so happy and grateful that I found this gorgeous apartment. Greg it’s such a lovely person , welcoming , helpful and attentive to anything I needed. Great fast communication. I recommend it 1000% I can’t wait to come back myself it felt like my dream little house I didn’t wanna leave.
