La Lancha Review
Francis Ford Coppola's latest lodging venture isn't quite as luxe as his two properties in Belize, though it is the only one with air-conditioning, but everything is done in exquisite taste. Guatemalan and Balinese textiles and handmade furniture make rooms cozy. All the casitas glimpse Lake Petén Itzá, though the pricier, larger lake-view units have the stunning, splurge-worthy views. The lake-view units, however, are many steps farther down the hillside. The restaurant serves delicious Guatemalan food, and the lake views from your table are incredible. A new gift shop above the restaurant sells crafts at reasonable prices.
