Why Travelers Love Amaranto Hostel
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We ate at the restaurant. Great food and drinks. Great service. Played a fun board game while we were there. The staff held our laundry bag for us and got us a tuk tuk when we finished. This is such a cool place! The room was nice. The pool was gorgeous and there’s tons of games you can play all over the campus. We played pool, darts, and bocce ball. I was so sad we didn’t have time to eat pizza. The kitchen opens at 1p so definitely plan it! But we did have a yummy breakfast and cocktails! I had the spicy Paloma and it was quite good and very spicy. I also loved how they had hammocks everywhere with plenty of seating. Everyone was so nice and helpful too. This is the best place to go to in Panajachel full stop! We went back multiple times. If we could transport a restaurant like this back to Minnesota we would. The service is great. The food is amazing. And the ambiance is fantastic. The pool is great to dip your toes in while having a cocktail waiting for your meal. We will recommend this place to everyone we know!

We had dinner here great atmosphere great beer. The burger patty was definitely not good. The fries were good. That’s why I’m leaving a four star review and I wish I would’ve let me park in the driveway.

We really enjoyed our stayed there. Thanks to Yvanova that gave us a very welcoming arrival and many tips for where to go in Pana. The breakfasts were great thanks to Tanya. The restaurants and the drinks were very nice too. The hostel is 5-10 mins away from the main street. I would go back and recommend for sure.
