Customer Travel Tip: watch the weather. We had great weather and an amazing time. Heard from other travelers that were there during some storms they didnt enjoy as much. Its easy enough to change a shuttle to shift your days if it looks like there is going to be really bad weather.
Liked: Beautiful. A must see if you are in Guatemala. Very relaxing, but can go to Panajachel for more things to do. The towns around the lake are great and there are cooperatives for shopping direct from the people.
Disliked: no!
