  I came from San Marcos one morning for breakfast. I asked if they had rooms, they said yes, and that they will put me down for one. I went back tioSan Marcos, packed my bags, came back across the lake to be told that they do not have a room because someone reserved it online after i asked for it and there was nothing they can do. I just love walking miles with heavy bags in the middle of the day after packing my hotel room (which i would not have done had i known). The hotel is beautiful and the food is good.

  Was very nice hotel some time ago but since opening nothing probably changed. Very torn down - rooms and common spaces, location a bit further from center.

  I had a friend coming to join me in San Pedro La Laguna. I decided to move to a larger, “fancier” room from my simple, basic, yet clean $5.00 USD per night room with a lovely garden, close to the water with a nice restaurant on the grounds to Mikasa based on the reviews. In all of my years of traveling, which are many, I have never picked so poorly and felt so “taken” money wise.
  
  True, the viewpoints and the greatly hotel are lovely. However, I requested during my reservation on line to be placed in a “quiet room.” When I arrived, the hostess from San Salvador was most hospitable. However, at 6am the following morning, I discovered that my room was directly below the kitchen and beginning 6am every morning for each morning I was there (3), the days preparations in the kitchen began. It sounded as though there was a constant dropping of kitchen implements on the floor.
  
  Also although the cleaning staff came in every day, the bathroom always smelled and it was obvious that they did not clean the floor, especially in the shower.
  
  Upon checking out, I mentioned my disappointment about the lack of quietness and lack of cleanliness that I would expect in particular for a hotel that charges $41.00 USD per night in San Pedro ( a substantial amount of money) in this market. The manager, a European man, asked what room I had been in and then shrugged his shoulders saying that he had never received such complaints. He did not even offer an apology.
  
  I call this a lack of customer service and consideration .

  Amazing location and hostel/hotel. Everything was very clean, the staff was excellent, and the deck to hang out was wonderful. The whole place feels like a huge manor with many places to sit on chairs and balconies with amazing views to relax or read a book. I didn't eat at the restaurant but other travellers told me the pizza is excellent. Great place to stay to relax and unwind in San Pedro!

  Good Saturday breakfast Buffet for 40Q
  Coffee or tea is included.
  Buffet has eggs, potatoes, sausages, pancakes, fruits, cereal, yogurt,.... you can get a omlette, scrambled egg... as well.
  
  Food is good but not outstanding. Not the best breakfast we had in San Pedro but I give solid 4 stars as the terrace right at the lake is pretty sweet.

  Who'd have thought one could find such lovely Japanese food in such a remote setting. I guess it's hard to find decent wasabi here though 😄

  One of my favorite restaurants in San Pedro la Laguna. The women chefs manning the kitchen are AWESOME cooks. And the wait staff is incredibly competent and super friendly, especially Deborah and Ashley. Highly recommend this restaurant as well as the beautiful stroll you have to take to get here. As with most places in Guatemala, if you have trouble walking up stairs, beware. (But it really is worth the effort!)

  The staff speak Spanish, Italian and English which was incredibly helpful. There is a restaurant upstairs which had a patio, reasonably priced food and a view that overlooks lake Atitlán. On the second floor are the hot tub and pool table. It was a little hard to find, but once you do, you'll know it's in a fantastic location! Tuk-tuks drive down the alleyway all the time making for easy transport around San Pedro. It is about a two minute walk to the docks where you can find boats going to all the towns around the lake.

  If you want good pizza while in San Pedro, this is the place to go. Plus the vistas are awesome from the patios.

  It's kind of my "go to" hotel in San Pedro. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the sounds of the waves lapping up to the hotel just puts me into a deep comfortable slumber...

  Mikaso Hotel y Restaurante was our first destination after leaving Guatemala City and our two night stay was fantastic. I was traveling with two other friends, one of which mistakenly booked a single bed for three people. When we arrived, we were immediately offered an additional mattress for our party of three. At that time we were thrilled to have a place to crash. We wouldn't have asked for or expected anything else given our mistake.
  
  All of the staff was very accommodating! After we had left to eat we were informed that an additional room opened up and were able to transfer from our original room into one with three beds! The hotel was very clean. The views from our room, the roof and the restaurant were amazing.
  
  Our group wanted to hike Volcan San Pedro on a whim and at 8pm the hotel staff arranged a guide to take us up the Volcano hike for the next day. Prices were more than fair for what was arranged.
  
  Sit back and unwind at the Hotel Mikaso, this place is amazing and would highly recommend to friends and especially couples who are looking for a romantic getaway in Guatemala. After a day of hiking we spent some time relaxing in the hot tubs on the roof, again the view was amazing and it was a perfect way to end a difficult day of trekking.
  
  Lake Atitlán is a great destination in and of itself but our stay here was very relaxing and enjoyable at Hotel Mikaso.
  
  My only regret is that we didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant while we stayed here. Everyone I spoke with said it was very delicious.

  Paid extra for a private room--it was very humid and smelled like sulfur. The shower was freezing and had maggots at the bottom. There was mold on the walls, and a leak in the toilet so the bathroom floor was always wet. On top of that, there were not enough outlets and the wifi hardly worked. The only thing going for it are the incredible views of the lake and the nice deck. Overall, we were very disappointed and we will not be back.

  This is a review for the restaurant. They should really have separate Google locations since I didn't stay at the hotel.
  
  Mikaso is another restaurant with promise that didn't succeed. Went alone to this place, and ordered a Tzaziki Wrap with fries, along with a ginger tea. The restaurant has magnificent views, and the night I went there was a piano player playing jazzy classical hybrid music.
  
  The server was very nice, a little slow. The tea took about 15 minutes to get, and it tasted basically like hot water. If they'd just left me with a tea bag, I'd have steeped it myself. The wrap took 40 minutes to get to me, and while the plate looked big, colorful, and hearty, with fries and cucumber tomato salad, the wrap was pretty deflated and meager. Seems that they added the cheap side dishes (fries) to make it look bigger. The flavor was pretty good, so I was quite happy with that at least.
  
  The biggest drawback are the prices. Sure, there's a good view and when you're lucky, some live music, but that doesn't permit meager portions at high prices. I can get a heartier wrap for that price at home!
  
  If you want to pay for a view, this is the place. If you a good price, dont come here.

  I wouldn't recommend staying in the shared rooms. The location is great and the price is the cheapest I found (Q60), but when I got the room and to my bed it was covered in bugs. My pillow was supposed to be white but instead was black because that's how many flies covered it. When I went down to advise the front desk he simply stated "we have no more availability" and that was it.
  
  I went a tiny bit further up the road to Pinocchio and got myself a private room for a smidgen more (Q100) which was budget but great value and they were so friendly. I didn't even bother going back to Mikaso for a refund.

  As we trekked around and the through the back streets of San Pedro, which are seemingly endless and mysterious, we finally started following signs for Hotel Mikaso, out on the end of the waterfront. A path led out to what seemed to be a floating hotel with a huge deck and picturesque rooms with superb views.....like something Hemingway might have stumbled upon in 1950's Havana....very atmospheric! We sat endlessly on the deck drinking beers and gabbing with some young German guys who were playing pool. Two hot tubs adorn the place. Room rates are a bit high, but the views are incredible! While we did not stay there, I recommend that you at least check it out for lodging....and failing that, DO go there and enjoy food and beverages on the deck. Highly recommended!

  The only downside I saw was that they didn't have a TV. Place is tourist friendly and clean. Safe and family friendly. My kids enjoyed the jacuzzi and the wife and I enjoyed a little bit of pool 🎱 before heading out.
