La Lancha
This is filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola’s Guatemalan piece of his minihotel chain in the Mundo Maya, and it is as creatively luxe as the others in this consortia. The main lodge has a commanding view of the lake and features a soaring, open-air, A-frame thatch roof oriented toward the view. Below the lodge is a kidney-shaped pool. A newly added funicular leads down to the shore of the lake, where guests swim, canoe, kayak and surf the web (as one of the thoughtful touches here, the resort added Wifi coverage on the lake beach in 2017). Lodgings are all in duplex bungalows. The “lake view” units are quite spacious, while the “jungle view” rooms are more compact. All are handsome enough for a honeymoon, with brightly colored handmade blankets on the beds, sculptures and other local art work here and there, and lots of burnished wood. All feature a shared wooden veranda hung with hammocks, and you can probably figure out the view from the room names. Plans here include the addition of some independent suites with private plunge pools.
