Reviews of Estancia del Monje 3 stars

Perfect getaway location, just outside of the busy town of Coban. The rooms are spacious,clean and comfortable ,and the surrounding gardens makes it a pleasant stay. Mr. Miguel is a wonderful host. His family and staff will make you feel right at home. Highly recommend!

The property is gorgeous. Beautiful, green, lush. Lots of birds and flowers. Location is wonderful and very relaxing. The rooms are huge and well-appointed (although the nightstand had a lamp on it that couldn't be plugged in because there was no electrical outlet nearby -- weird but sort of typical in Guatemala). The room area even had a common outdoor kitchen with microwave, water, stove, etc. if you wanted to prep some food but the restaurant was great!

It was all great.

Everything!!!!! The location is amazing, in the middle of nature and yet a short car ride to city center. Very comfy beds, amazing shower, rooms are large. The value for money is truly amazing!

It is just on the outskirts of Cobán and you can not walk into town easily, so it is limiting in that sense. There is a restaurant with a good breakfast, but other meals are basic with minimal choice. The surroundings are green and lush, which can make the rooms a bit damp and musty. The bed was comfortable, and the shower had plenty of hot water (after you let it run a few minutes). The staff did not speak English but were all helpful.

It was quiet being located outside the city.

There is a restaurant located at the hotel, but when we arrived Sunday afternoon it was closed. It opened for breakfast and so we assumed that that was the only time it was open. I wish the staff would have told us that it was open for dinner on Monday. We drove all over Coban looking for a place to eat after spending the day at Semuc Champey. There was no toilet paper in the room and we found out at a very inconvenient time. Haha. The room was very damp and smelled like mold.

Ideal place to stay for people who love to be connected with nature as it's located literally into the forest. It has great vibe, energy and fresh air. The staff is pretty gentle and wiling to answer to any questions you may have. Breakfast was awesome as we enjoyed it into the nature.

Our room was pretty cold at night as there was no heating to use which made it a bit uncomfortable. Also the available blankets were not clean so we could only use them to cover our feet which made it a bit hard to sleep.

Location

The staff were very helpful and the room was very clean.

The green environment feels like an oasis escaping from the busy Coban. The owner was super nice and very responsive.

The dinner options of the restaurant is quite low quality, the breakfast was great though. The kitchen is only open for limited hours in the morning and in the evening hours, though the place is quite isolated, which is meant to be a good thing but you may want food&drink availabilities during the day too.

The location was excellent!!! Just what we were expecting. Close to the city still felt like you were in the forest !!!! You need to have a vehicle but a cab would help.

The place is amazing

Staff kind and helpful

Nice rustic area. Quite. Perfectly located. Clean room and comfortable beds. Goid breakfast.

Nothing.

Beautiful property

Need heaters and more blankets in the rooms

We had a very good stay at the hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly. Miguel was so kind to drive us to the bus station twice free of charge. The room was huge and the location was also very quiet. It was perfect for what we were looking for.

The hospitality of the staff is one of a kind. The quietness (even if there are many other guests) guarantees a good night sleep.
