BEST OF GUATEMALA
I think that Goway must have upgraded all of our hotels because we couldn't believe our luck. We found the Palacio Dona Leonor to be one of
the more beautiful and certainly the most luxurious hotel that we had stayed in. It's a 500 year old private mansion that had been restored
into a 12 suite hotel about 3 years ago. Each of the rooms was decorated differently (of course, we had to take a look at each one!). I could
have stayed in my room the entire week - I felt like royalty! We also loved the Laguna Lodge, an eco-resort with their own hiking trails on the
property. We were the only ones staying at the lodge and, once again, it was like a private oasis. The vegetarian meals were fabulous and was a
pleasant surprise for Paul who is a staunch meat lover! The La Lancha resort was lovely in a Muskoka way - apparently it is owned by Francis
Ford Coppola - and, once again, the staff were wonderful in accommodating all our needs.
We loved the itinerary, especially the visits to the coffee farm and textiles groups, and various smaller markets - it felt like we were away
from the mainstream tourist spots. The trip to Tikal and Yaha was among my favourite since this region seemed so unspoiled compared to the rest
of the country. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure that we had a good time. The drivers were
courteous and, most importantly, very punctual in a country known for being more 'relaxed' about such things!
Thank you again for helping us organize this last minute trip - it was perfect in so many ways and we appreciate all of your work in ensuring
that the trip went well for us. Thank you also for waking up at 6 am to prebook the seating for our outgoing flight and for making sure that
Paul made it to Guatemala! This has been a most memorable trip for our family.
Regards,
Pearl
