El Picnic was absolutely incredible! Waking up to views of lake atitlan was a highlight of our trip. The service, food, and property were great. The town is not as great, it wasn’t a town at the top of my list to explore while in the area, but visiting El Picnic for a night was an unforgettable experience and definitely a highlight of our visit to the lake overall.

LOVED our stay at this property!! The room was so unique and had absolutely stunning views of the lake. It was also furnished and decorated well. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and we had a good time chatting with the other guests and the owners. I wish we stayed longer than one night! Would highly recommend El Picnic to those visiting the lake - it’s an incredible experience.

Staying at Picnic is a very unique experience. It's glamping but it's serviced like a bed and breakfast. A big part of it are the incredible hosts,Gaby & Jochen. They are welcoming, personable, and their passion for their property is shown in the details. The breakfast and dinner that Jochen cooks up is fantastic and the menu is improvised on the daily (Jochen is also happy to take suggestions). Quite honestly, a dining experience at Picnic could sell itself; some of the best meals I had in my trip to Guatemala was at Picnic. The rooms and facilities are literally built on the mountain and you are surrounded by natural rock formations and foliage.While staying in the panoramic room, I felt very much like a king of the jungle would if they had electricity. The view of the lake is unmatched and the open air nature of the rooms lends to a serene and freeing experience that is hard to find elsewhere. While I loved every moment on the property, I can also acknowledge that it's not for everyone. The rooms are built on a mountain so that means you need to hike up and down to your room and around the property. This place would not be recommended for those with limited mobility. I also wouldn't recommend to those who can't stand the sight of bugs/wildlife. The rooms are open air and despite thorough cleaning by the staff, there will ultimately be critters around the room. If those nuances don't bother you, I'd highly recommend Picnic to anybody as a base for the lake. 10/10

It’s important to understand where and what this excellent resort is. I loved the place and the hosts in particular. We were in slow season and they had time to chat with us over a drink at the bar. Gaby and Johan were fascinating people and a lot of fun. Also, Johan made us dinner that was the best I had in Guatemala! Anyway, the resort was fantastic and we’ll be back. Best views in the world of lake and volcanoes. To my initial point though; the village of Tzununa where it’s located is extremely remote and desperately poor. Certain travelers won’t like that, so I wanted to share how El Picnic is a high end, charming and unique resort surrounded by the opposite. We felt safe, but it did help that we were experienced travelers and could handle a non English speaking trip to get to El Picnic. (Resort spoke English of course). In summary, we absolutely loved this place but recognize it’s not for everyone. But if you want unique and wholesome, El Picnic is a must-visit.

We had an incredible time. The property is stunning, the owners made us feel like we were a part of their family. Gaby went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. She helped us organize every little detail from private boats and drivers to guides and gave us suggestions on what to do, see and how to plan our days. This place is truly a paradise with the nicest, kindest people. We had the most delicious breakfasts and dinners with breathtaking views every day! We can’t thank you enough and we would definitely come back one day.

Best-ever glamping experience in this beautiful and very special place above Lake Atitlan. Gaby and Jochen were wonderful hosts, making us feel at home immediately and throughout our 3-nights stay. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious and accompanied by great conversations with our hosts and the other guests. Time passed much too quickly, as there is so much to see and explore on and around the lake.

Jochen and Gaby took care of us amazingly well at El Picnic! The view is perfect. The service is incredible. Everyone was so friendly. The food was delicious. The dogs were awesome. Gaby made calls to set us up on tours and excursions. Jochen and Gaby even welcomed our friends who were staying nearby to eat with us and treated everyone like family. You will not be disappointed!

The best stay we had in Guatemala! Gaby and Jochen have designed the perfect hotel experience at El Picnic. The views from the VERY comfy bed are world class, food is amazing and plentiful, and the whole place invites you to fully relax. We loved having our own patio off the room to enjoy a bottle of wine and waking up to the sounds of nature each day- incredible! We went out to explore other towns around the lake a couple of times, but each time really just couldn't wait to get back to the peace of the hotel! Life is good at El Picnic and you'll walk away from your stay feeling like a part of the family. Thanks Gaby and Jochen for everything!!

Spectacular Glamping experience. Yes there are an ungodly amount of steps and you might encounter some tropical insects but it’s totally worth the effort. Terrific hosts and delicious meals. Only pay 10 q per person for tuk tuk from pier to hotel. Maybe a bit more if you have bags. Always establish price before you hop in.

Stay here! A truly magical setting perched up in the mountain overlooking Atitlan lake. With easy access to the water taxi so you can explore all of the surrounding towns, El Picnic is the perfect retreat for an incredible Lake Atitlan experience. Jochen, Gaby and George greeted us upon arrival making us feel right at home. They were extremely friendly and checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room… AMAZING! Nothing compares to the open air and incredible views. The bed was extremely comfortable. The interior decor was stunning. The location of the room was extremely private making us feel like we had the entire lake to ourselves. The food was exceptional. Delicious with large portions. El Picnic is a must!

It felt strange seeing all reviews are good. Once you get there, you realise that you’re in the best place on Atitlan. Hosts are attentive and will do everything to make your stay unforgettable. You and the other 3 guests will enjoy the views, the good food and the drinks. Now go ahead! Book and you will not be disappointed.

El Picinic is amazing. The host are the best- they really go out of their way to make you feel like VIP guest. There are so many little touches to the property and it is just a great place to relax and have as a home base to explore the other villages around the lake. It is very quite and peaceful and after a day of jumping around the more touristy towns.. it was always awesome to come home to El Picnic The room was perfect, comfortable , clean and the best place to take a nap.

This place is a little slice of paradise. Gaby and Johan have created the most beautiful and unique place to stay. It is so peaceful, serene and comfortable. It really feels like you’ve stepped into your own little world and the views are spectacular. The food is also impeccable! My husband and I have stayed in many unique places all over the world and I truly believe nothing will ever beat this. We will certainly be back again.

My partner and I spent two nights at El Picnic in February of 2020. We had not done enough research to realize that the best way to access this property was by boat (It was included in the web site, but we did not check there). Once we had made the arrangements to get to the site, which was quite easy once we knew what we were doing, we found the entire experience to be beyond our wildest expectations. The "tent" was comfortable, the view was absolutely spectacular, the hospitality was warm and inviting, and the food and drink were excellent. The hosts, Johan and Gaby, could not have been more helpful or friendly. Potential guests should be able to hike a short distance, unassisted as the climb could be challenging for those with significant physical limitations. We enjoyed our entire two week trip to Guatemala but our stay at El Picnic was the highlight.
