Hotel Chinimaya

Hotel Chinimaya

Attractive colonial-style hotel with a colonnaded ochre exterior, simple but cheerful guestrooms and a peaceful courtyard area.

The attractive and peaceful colonial-style Hotel Chinimaya has a lovely colonnaded exterior, a leafy courtyard and a cheerful, sunny colour scheme of oranges and yellows. The location allows easy access to the centre of Panajachel without subjecting guests to the noise and bustle of the town centre.

Accommodation is simple but inviting, with patchwork bedspreads and plenty of light streaming into the spacious rooms. The friendly staff will go out of their way to make your stay an enjoyable one.

What our clients say

  • Highlights: Our day on Lake Atitlan...We thought Guatemala was a fabulous country and to be honest we probably wouldn't have visited without JLA's help

    GU, Dorchester Feb 2016

  • We knew nothing about Guatemala and Belize before our trip and had not visited Central America.  We relied on JLA understanding our interests and the resulting recommendations proved very successful.

    NW, Wells Apr 2011

  • Tour of Tikal was much appreciated.  Guide was knowledgeable and it would have been difficult to learn as much on our own

    NW, Wells Apr 2011

  • The trip far exceeded any expectation we had, we were constantly saying "Oh my God, how fantastic is this is"

    DA, Waterloo Dec 2025

  • The drive to Rancho Margot round Lake Arenal, staying there, seeing humming birds feeding from flowers a metre from our bungalow veranda, kayaking in the shadow of the amazing volcano.

    JH, London Dec 2016

  • Highlights?: Chiminos lodge and trip to Aguateca. Guide and tour of Tikal.
