Paradise

Everything about this property is amazing. The views, location, and garden are phenomenal and the photos don’t do it justice. Our host and groundskeeper were so amazing and we couldn’t have felt more welcome!! I would stay here 1000 times and recommend everyone else do so as well.

We loved Casa Verapaz. The caretaker Alfonso was great and communication with Julio was excellent. The views from the living area are truly breathtaking and accommodations are wonderful. Santa Catarina Palopó is a short walk down the hill and is a great little village. Our boys played soccer with the locals there and we bought fresh tortillas for breakfast. The tuk tuk ride to Pana was easy and affordable. If you are noise sensitive, know that the structure is shared so some noise does drift in from the other unit. There are also dogs on the property that intermittently bark during the night. But, we were overall very happy with our selection and would stay here again. I can’t imagine a more beautiful setting than Casa Verapaz and it is definitely worth 5 stars.

Why they chose this property

We chose Santa Catarina Palopó because it feels peaceful, local, and full of character, with beautiful views of Lake Atitlán and the volcanoes.

What we enjoy most is the balance: a quiet village setting, colorful streets, and easy access to Panajachel, just 10–12 minutes away by car.

What makes this property unique

What makes Casa Verapaz unique is the combination of private apartment-style living, lake and volcano views, shared resort-style amenities, and a peaceful Santa Catarina Palopó setting just minutes from Panajachel. Guests enjoy the comfort of their own private space while also having access to gardens, a pool, a hot springs jacuzzi, and natural lake access.
