What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

Set in the rainforest high above the shores of Lago Peten Itza is La Lancha, a quaint 10 room lodge decorated with artwork and furniture from Bali as well as fabrics and carvings from Guatemala personally selected by the Coppola family. Beyond the clear water of the lake is Tikal the epicenter of Mayan spirituality. Buried deep within the rainforest the ruins include more than 3000 structures where moss clings to the steps of ancient temples and plazas. With its beautiful lakeshore setting intimate size with just ten guestrooms, swimming pool, lakefront bar and authentic Guatemalan open air restaurant ,La Lancha is an ideal destination to both enjoy a languid pace and explore the many adventures of the

Peten region.
