Fodor's Expert Review Park Hotel
Santa Cruz Verapaz, Alta Verapaz, 16002, Guatemala
You start seeing the signs advertising this hotel on the Atlantic Highway as you leave Guatemala City, and long before you get here you've memorized the name and location. The place, a few kilometers south of Cobán, is huge, and in that regard very un-Verapaces-like, humming with all the activity—gym, shops, playground, meeting rooms—of a hotel that bills itself as a "resort and conference center." Rooms are scattered around the lush grounds; some have fireplaces. The hotel has a lot of amenities and is a good value.
PROS
- park-like setting
- many amenities
- great for kids
CONS
