Eco friendly, cut above a hostel nestled in the hill side. Very attentive service, pretty good food.
Amazing view, the place is magical
Ollie and the other staff members are incredibly friendly! Thank you so much for the excellent experience, we appreciated all of your information and advice.
One of the most beautiful hidden gems along the Lake Atitlán coast. Riley & crew provides one of the best places to stay & recharge while traveling around this area. The meals are affordable and delicious, the staff is friendly and accommodating, the views and vibe are unforgettable. Highly recommended.
Stayed here a few years back. The place was AMAZING. It's quite affordable and there's much to do. I highly advice taking the hiking trail west along the mountainside for some gorgeous views of the lake, as well as visiting some of the quaint villages along the coast. The facilities were great, the trails and paths are meticulously groomed and it's just very relaxing and picturesque. The staff were friendly and they have little events and dinners you can participate in. 10/10 would visit again in a heartbeat.
I have stayed at Isla Verde 3 times and each has been it's own wonderful experience beginning with excellent staff services in Spanish and English.
The food is spectacular (and I just returned from Barcelona and Rome). The small dinner menu is worth making reservations for. Fresh produce mostly comes from their Eco- garden and neighbors. Share a table as this restaurant attracts interesting people, muy amables.
Beautifully decorated rooms vary in size and most come with a steep hike, but the view from each is well worth it. Showers are solar heated so 2-4 pm is the warmest.
There are indoor and outdoor covered areas that suit yoga, hammocks, pillow & table games, and beautiful lake views. TV and internet in the reception area and restaurant only. Bookshelves offer a huge selection of books and games. If you take one away, be sure to leave one behind. If a storm knocks electricity out around the lake, the Isla dock's solar lights make it the lighthouse for the lake.
He review is for the restaurant not the hotel which we haven't stayed in, Super slow service, slow as it took an hour for a very small fruit salad plate to arrive while the place is literally empty
Favorite place in Santa Cruz. Gorgeous restaurant and views and the owners are the coolest.
Although I have never stayed at Isla Verde, I have frequented it various times as a place to relax. The food and drinks are great, the covered patio or outdoor raised balcony are amazing, and the the garden setting is perfect. If visiting Santa Cruz or Jablalito, it is a place to include in your trip for a bite to eat and enjoy the beautiful lake setting.
A unique Eco Hotel experience for Nature Lovers, Lake Lovers and Food Lovers. The 3 combined to make your experience pleasurable. I love the food and sit at the restaurant close to the waterfront. The deck is great to sunbath and from Isla Verde lots of walks and hikes available
Got married and held the wedding dinner/party here. I can't say enough good things about the entire experience. The staff were courteous and extremely helpful. They were meticulously attentive to every detail to make the night nothing short of stunning. Food was great. Setting was bar none the most inspiring natural environment you can find. The owner was a blessing to work with and made the day seamless and stress free.
