Petén Espléndido Review
You're not on Flores, but the views of that pretty island from your private balcony are the next best thing. The pool, surrounded by palm trees, is a great place to spend an afternoon sunbathing. Sit at one of the shaded tables on the terrace or in the pretty dining room and enjoy the especial del día (daily special). The hotel is popular among business travelers, who appreciate the fully equipped convention center. Families enjoy the paddleboats on the lake.
