The view was stunning. So stunning that the rest of this review may be irrelevant. They yoga instruction was very good and the staff were friendly.

Ongoing noise from construction. No water pressure when showering. No blackout curtains so you will wake up with the first sun. Difficult to get there if you have heavy suitcases, you may want to pay for a porter.

great views and the food included with the hotel was delicious

The water pressure was so bad couldn’t shower properly

The view here is amazing. The view from the showers are something special! The restaurant is so nice and it’s overall a good place to meet other travelers.

The yoga and views are amazing. Join one of the dances.

the view is great, the dorms nice and cosy, the food delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful

there are a lot of cats and I am alergic, but since it is all open spaces it was not that bad. I just didn‘t like it when they were trying to eat my meal out of my plate…

Booked the place to have some time away from home working in a nice place! The views are stunning, atmosphere is nice, rooms are as on the pictures and outdoor shower has breathtaking views. Vegetarian food portions are decent (lower on the protein side yet you do get eggs). A few notes - if you have a job where you are also on conference calls the set up is not great as there is no privacy. WiFi is ok - video might need to be off on zooms though.

Further, though the food is good the service is very very slow! In addition the yoga times and food windows could be timed better and the one really challenging thing was that there is no coffee until 7.30/8am which is late given you wake up around 6ish by natural rooster alarm clocks. So as long as you are easy going it’s a great place and super nice people to connect with!

The kitchen staff and the food was absolutely incredible. The yoga platform cannot be beat - truly a unique and epic place to practice or to simply take a look.

The events at Eagle's Nest vary widely - not all will be for everyone so it's great to go in with an open mind knowing some may be wonderful and some may not be your thing.

The views and events

Not helpful staff, terrible food not enough showers our bathroom especially on events. cold water because they have 2 showers next to one another and using the same solar heating system. no places to lock your things in shared dorms and no mosquito nets even in private rooms, making it possible for bugs coming to share your bed and dust.

The location is amazing, enjoying a picturesque view from every point of the premises! Big clean bedrooms, with excellent comfy beds! Very good food, big enough portions and very friendly kitchen stuff. Sauna and the events included in the accomodation are a big plus, alongside with meeting people in the common areas, making the stay an overall very enjoyable experience, despite the rather expensive price.

The yoga classes included in the package was of very low quality. Definetely should reconsider the adequacy of the yoga instructors, the variety of the offered classes and the time schedule. The water for shower was neither warm or with enough jet, but guess this is a problem of the whole area.

Exceptional view and nice food!

The service from non-local staff was lacking which includes friendliness and attentiveness. For a hotel I would expect a certain level of service (including cleaning the room or at least making the bed).

view from the hostel are awesome and the yoga classes are really good

why I gave only 3 points - we had a lot of scorpions in our room. but that’s actually not the bad point for us. it was how they handled the situation. my wife and I are from Europe and we are not used to scorpions and when we told the girl at the reception there is a scorpion in our bed, she just said don’t care about the scorpions and the continued kissing the guy. sorry but when you pay so much for a hotel/hostel I would expect more help. - it’s really loud there. so you can’t sleep without earplugs. you hear really everything from the snorring of the people 500 meters away and the dog’s. OMG! the dogs are barking all the night and in the morning the cock crow’s. - and the hippie guests are not Hippies. they just like to dress and behave like this but they are not open and friendly to other guests if you don’t dress the same like them. also they are so consumerism and you need a iPhone. which is funny I guess.

The view is great.

Scorpions in the room made us feel quite uncomfortable. The staff did‘t actually seem that they want to help you. The vibe doesn‘t seem integrative. Although it was advertised as ‚plenty of vegan options‘ we always had to adjust our food. The price is ridiculous for what you get.

The staff of this property, kitchen, reception and events was exceptionally friendly. Also, events organised, like the community day or movie night where amazing to meet new people. The view from the platform as well as the yoga classes where phenomenal. Also the photographer submitted nice fotos to us. The included food was very good quality and delivered with love from the kitchen staff.

The management lady was exceptionally rude to me one day when I talked to one of her staff about more details for an event. Quote: "Look it up on the website." I felt like I am one of her hires and she continued to snap at her staff. Maybe she had a bad day, in any case I was a customer, even in a hostel, that is not acceptable. The rooms, I stayed in a dorm and in a private room are basic. My dorm had scorpions, spiders and ants. While it was clear from the setting, I feel the management is not investing in fixing the rooms (for example sealing the doors, walls). The price at this point was around 80 dollar or more a night for a dorm which is not worth it, even because you can attends as a day guest. Also, when asked to use a community room for a event the management asked for a ridiculously high extra charge, even if we where the only guests at this time. In addition, I feel the timings for the food are ridiculous. Guests should receive vouchers and be able to eat (e.g. 2 meals during the dinner) if they miss the lunch.

The view and the Yoga Plattform are just amazing! It is a perfect location to come down and relax during the day! The people working there are local people - what I really liked - also if the owner is not a local! I loved the food and as well the Yoga Classes - all classes are different - and every teacher I had was great on his personal way!

I was not expecting such a wildlife in my room - but yes - it is in the Forest and it is some kind of normal to have spiders in the rooms - but having a really huge ants street at the bed and scorpions where a little bit hart for me- but the manager was giving his best- and was giving me another room. some rooms are already having some kind of ‚real‘ walls and they let me feel a little bit more safe than just the wooden house with a lot of gaps where all animals where basically invited to come in.

Great views Awesome outdoors shower JB the manager was really nice and helpful

- The place is beautiful and had good vibes - the bed was the most comfortable that we had in Gutemala - the shower is great (although it's not private, and its an open shower so it can be super cold in the evening and early morning) - The yoga classes were professional

- The way to the hotel is THE WORST! It's uphill where cars can't reach so you need to take a tuktuk but even after that there is a 10 minuets walk of stairs and rocks. We didnt know that and we had to carry our suitcases on our backs. - THE TOILETS ARE NOT PRIVATE, and also they are dry toilets. They smell really bad and sometimes we could smell it from our balcony. - the private room is beatiful but it's not completely sealed, which means you share your room with ants and spiders. One of our suitcases was full of ants so make sure you close everything while being there.

The view is outstanding. I've to few miradors around the lake, and the view here competes with each one. We even saw volacn Fuego in our last morning. Also the place itself is very pretty and we enjoyed our room and our private balcony (also with the amazing view). The yoga teacher (Ella) was good. So were the meals, which were not that big but I was never hungry. Overall we enjoyed our experience.

We checked their weekly schedule in advance (do it, it's important) and we knew that on Friday there's a community day and we were OK with that. But it wasn't the case. Instead, there was a dancing party, which is really not our cup of tea, so we didn't take part, and also it was very loud until late at night so it delayed our sleep. We didn't know about this party in advance and might have not come if we had known. Apparently they advertised it mostly in ads in San Marcos and San Marcos' Facebook so we didn't really have a chance to know. Second of all, in my opinion they are a bit over booking some of the classes. In one of the classes all of us barely had room on the platform. It's also not good because the teacher can't give attention to most people that way. Also once one of the teachers "couldn't make it" so the class was delayed by an hour, but we've been told that was the case only after waiting 20 minutes on the platform.

The view was amazing

really hard to get to the hotel with suitcases

absolutely beautiful location delicious food lovely staff the yoga was great

no facilities to get hot water for cup of tea!

Everything was great

I paid an exorbitant fee for my room because it stated specifically that mine came with sauna access, this is solely what set it apart from every other booking and why it was expensive. Upon arrival I was simply told that "sorry it's only open three days a week and isn't available" this was not stated anywhere online. I feel like I got ripped off and would like compensation.

Loved the vibe, location, yoga classes, views and food. All staff friendly, kitchen staff ON IT. Sauna + yoga my favorite parts, challenging but approachable yoga classes for all levels. Loved the shared outdoor shower. Fun Friday community day - learned silks for the first time!

No complaints
