Jamie Langford

"Not too far from the shore and boat doc of San Marcos, LUSH emerges as a testament to family-centered values, environmental mindfulness, and a deep commitment to the indigenous Maya Kakchiquel community. From its inception, LUSH has embraced eco-conscious practices, embodying a genuine concern for the planet's well-being. As a welcoming family unit, the establishment fosters connections that extend beyond its guests, offering a harmonious blend of comfort, artistic flair, and natural beauty in its suites and rooms. With its secure surroundings and breathtaking views, LUSH serves as an ideal gateway for exploration, granting direct access to the lake's alluring waters and picturesque landscapes, all while upholding a commitment to environmental conservation and community empowerment. Perfect place for you too, as LUSH includes breakfast at the hotel's restaurant considered the best in town. Located right next to the natural reserve where you can swim in the lake and experience short hikes in nature. "
