Villa Sumaya - Santa Cruz La Laguna

The location is amazing. Lake Atitlan is stunning and this restaurant provides a breathtaking view of the two volcanoes overlooking the lake. The staff were friendly and attentive, even though it is primarily a yoga retreat center and I do not practice yoga. Unfortunately, during our visit, there was a retreat happening so meals were served buffet-style. The food was decent and there were always vegan options available, but we had to stick to set meal times at 8am, 12:30pm, and 6pm. We found that dishes from the regular menu were of higher quality than the buffet, but unfortunately were not available during buffet times. The prices were on the higher side.

The location is incredible. Lake Atitlan is gorgeous and this place affords you a gorgeous view of both volcanoes across the lake. The beds were fine and while it is a yoga retreat, I did no yoga. Sadly, we were there during a retreat so it was buffet-style meals. The food was ok and always had vegan options but it meant we had to eat exactly at 8am, 12:30pm and 6pm. We found their made-to-order food from the resto was much better than the buffet though, but not available when they are serving buffet. The prices are pretty high.

The food was decent with vegan options, but the set meal times at 8:00, 12:30, and 6:00 were a bit inconvenient.
