   We were staying at an Airbnb about a 5 minute walk from here and ate here several times for both breakfast and dinner while were in the area. They have a small menu, but we enjoyed the meals we ate there and the views cannot be beat! A great spot to watch the sunset in the evenings.

   I enjoyed the food and atmosphere there. I ordered the Qinoa dish with chicken.. I hesitated on the chicken but I was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend if you're in the area. also enjoyed the hot tub with the lake view for sunset.

   The food was absolutely delicious -- carefully prepared, unique, and full of flavor. The service was attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was incredibly pleasant. Sitting with a stunning view of the lake made the experience even more special. Highly recommended!

   The views here are amazing! The service was soooo bad! I am very upset I chose this place to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. Lydia was our waitress & she had the poorest attitude. I felt it was because she couldn’t understand English & was annoyed with taking our order, but who knows. She kept saying “ay dios mio” & rolling her eyes. After she took my order she walked away & my boyfriend & I was confused because she didn’t acknowledge him at all. So I got up & went to go ask her to please take his order as well & she again said “ay dios mio” & seemed really annoyed. If it wasn’t his birthday I would’ve just left but I wanted him to enjoy his night & he was already really hungry. She ended up bringing me two plates of food, a pasta with tofu/pesto & a pasta with tofu/tomato sauce. I asked her several times in different ways using google translate if I could just have a plate of pasta with tomato sauce (spaghetti) & a small side of pesto sauce with NO tofu. It’s fine that it wasn’t translated properly or she didn’t understand clearly. What really pissed me off is when she gave me the 2 plates & clearly saw that I was shocked, she again rolled her eyes & asked what was my problem. When she understood what I was originally asking for she said “no you can only have one sauce” & immediately snatched away the pasta with tomato sauce & walked away. She didn’t even ask me which one I would like to keep. I 100% wouldn’t have chosen the pesto, I love tomato more & have never eaten pesto pasta alone. But I dealt with it because again, it’s my man’s bday I don’t want to make the night about me. Finally at the end this lady came to our table named CiCi & she gave me owner vibes but I’m not sure. Anywho she spoke perfect English & came to our table & was soooo nice. Man if only we had her from the beginning. She even gave us a pitcher of water which should’ve been given in the very beginning from Lydia. The views are lovely, but that was the worst treatment our entire trip. Everyone is usually so happy & nice in Guatemala. Lydia isn’t pleasant at all. Broccoli cream soup was 10/10 just which it came out hot. It was kinda cold.
