Amazing location and room! It was perfect for everything you need. Having the second floor with a little balcony made it feel like you were in the jingle. The doors open all the way and it’s like indoor outdoor living. Absolutely perfect!

Staff were super friendly and access to the property was so easy. Great coffee and juice bar at your doorstep and a short 2 minute walk to the lake with stunning views of the volcanoes. Loved the yoga classes and gardens. The room was clean and well serviced with everything we could need, the kitchen was great for making our dinner and it all worked seamlessly. Thank you so much Sarnai, cant wait to come back.

Communication before check in was good but axwell was unable to meet us at the boat launch like was initially planned so I am really glad I watched the YouTube tutorial on how to get the Sarnai.
Pros: clean room, filtered drinking water, flushable toilet paper toilets, hot showers, great onsite yoga, fun communal/zen vibe, has the necessities for cooking, close walking to main area
Cons: difficult to find the 1st time, you don’t have a view of the lake/volcanoes, (maybe from rooftop areas but rooms do not)

Great service and very nice apartment, right in the center of San Marcos. Axwell was amazing, he escorted us to our apartment and helped with our luggage and was available through text before and during our arrival to help with questions and to coordinating our stay. Definitely recommend to book at Sarnai!

I stayed at four places in Guatemala. Sarnai was, without doubt, the best one. The room was very clean and tastefully decorated. The availability of purified water in the kitchen and a full kitchen was great. Hosts were great also .

Great location and communication with the host.
Unfortunately, the construction quality was poor, which allowed a lot of outside noise. There was also on-site construction starting in the morning that disrupted our sleep. Additionally, the curtains let in a lot of light, with no option to fully darken the room.

Absolutely loved staying here. Everything in the room was perfect, from the bed, bathroom, and even having filtered water. The large windows with the natural light really made it feel so amazing. I will be staying here next time I come to visit. Oh and having the amazing rooftop and doing a yoga class up there was just incredible.

Worst place I ’ve ever been so bad that I do not think I will be returning to Guatemala in a while. The property manager has to be the most disrespectful and disgusting person I’ve met. We paid for airport service and because his driver was an hour late, and I questioned where he was he refused to take us because we were rushing him and when we notified the manager and asked for a refund he refused to give us a refund as well. On top of the place was dirty with stains. On and off hot water and sometimes no water at all. DO NOT COME HERE. Save your money please
