Fodor's Expert Review Takalik Maya Lodge
Turn at Km 190.5 on Pacific Hwy., 11001, Guatemala
You negotiate a rough road to get here—it's a few kilometers north of the entrance to its namesake ruins—but a stay on this working coffee, rubber, and macadamia plantation is worth the trip. The colonial-style rooms are in the plantation house, and, except for having to share bathrooms, are quite nice. Two large, newer, separate bungalows are designed to be their own mini-Mayan palaces. The lodge has a lot of mix-and-match packages that contain lodging only, all meals, or several tours, among them horse and bicycle rides, as well as tours of the nearby ruins.
PROS
- comfortable rooms, many activities
CONS
- rough road to get here
