Jenna's River Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"Jenna's River has a lot of things going for it. The staff was very friendly and super helpful. They were able to help with arranging transportation and tours in the area - just email them for information. They arranged a private boat for the day and an English tuk tuk tour to Santa Catarina which was very good. Their tuk tuk driver was always available to take us to Panajachel town (and it was easy to get another one off the street to take us back, which was not a problem). The room was very large and the beds were comfortable. It was clean as well. There was plenty of space for storing all your stuff. The view from the private porch was amazing. The shower was hot and had good water pressure. Breakfast was included and had plenty of choices available on top of the set menu. There is a nice bar area with drinks for during the day or before dinner. There are some dogs that bark during the night that made it hard to get to sleep one night, but I suspect that may be common for most of Lake Atitlan area. The biggest note is maybe that the bathroom area was not very private in our room (a large yurt with 2 bedrooms with one bedroom having the only bathroom ensuite). The swinging doors were textured glass that were quite see through with the lights on and every noise could be heard. This may not be to everyone's liking and something to be aware of - I don't know if every room is like this."
