Guatemala offers a rich blend of culture, history, and hospitality. Here are some practical tips to enhance your stay in this vibrant destination.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Nearly 75% of Antigua's boutique hotels are located in restored colonial buildings - like Hotel Museo Spa Casa Santo Domingo, featuring ruins of a 16th-century convent.
Local Hack: Don't hesitate to ask for "agua fresca" at hotels; many provide complimentary flavored water, which is both refreshing and a local favorite.
Hidden Gem: Visit the lesser-known Santa Clara Ruins (just 10 mins from the main hotel area), a peaceful site that showcases stunning architecture and rich history, often overlooked by tourists.
Smart Tip: Booking your stay during the week can yield savings of up to 30%, as hotels often offer lower rates to attract business travelers.
