Fodor's Expert Review La Casa del Mundo

Jaibalito, Sololá, 07014, Guatemala

Built atop a cliff overlooking the azure waters, this gorgeous inn unquestionably has a great vantage point for gazing at Lago Atitlán. All the rooms have views, but those from Number 1 and Number 3 are the most breathtaking. If you can tear yourself away from the windows, you'll notice that the beautifully decorated rooms have wood-beam ceilings, red-tile floors, and stucco-and-stone walls hung with local handicrafts. If you want to get a closer look at the lake, kayaks are available. Meals are served family style in the cozy restaurant (¢–$).
