Hotel Soleil La Antigua
Beautiful and spacious hotel in Antigua Guatemala with amazing views of the volcanoes. The staff are excellent people—very kind and welcoming. The only recommendation I have is to offer taxi services, as they don’t have them. Other than that, an excellent place to stay. Highly recommended!”
