The room was not only clean, but had a spectacular view and was so comfortable. Staff was so nice and accommodating. One of the best parts about our stay was the included breakfast and the dinner (not included) which was delicious! We thought we’d explore the island more for dinner but ended up eating at El Picnic because it was just that good. Gaby is an amazing hostess and went above and beyond to assist us with whatever we needed as well. Thanks for a great stay that we will always remember!

We stayed in the panoramic room and it was even better than we imagined. The view from the room was incredible. The bathroom was very clean. The space is open, yet it still felt very private. We felt like we didn’t need to leave to enjoy our time at the lake, but we did venture to neighboring towns around the lake. It is easy to catch the ferry from the public Tzununa dock, which is a 10 min walk or 3 min tuktuk ride away. Each morning and evening you can head to the restaurant for breakfast and dinner eaten with the hotel owners and other guests. The owners were very nice and great cooks. We were first time “glampers” and had a wonderful experience at El Picnic. We would recommend it to everyone. Just be aware that the entire place is on a hill and you must be able to go up and down stairs. There are also some bugs of course, but you are glamping so you must expect it. The bed was warm and there were extra blankets provided in case you need it. We didn’t need it. We also asked the hotel owners to arrange transport to and from the lake, which made our trip planning easier.

We had a wonderful stay. I wish we would have stayed longer. Owners are working on things around. The room was beautiful, bathroom was perfect. The view, breathtaking. The owners, Gabby and her husband were just wonderful, helpful and absolutely warm. We will be back! Lot of stairs but well worth it. I didn’t see restaurants around but taking the boat around the other towns was so easy.

You could write a book on all the wonderful things about El Picnic.
Jochen&Gaby have crafted a serene and beautiful experience with some of the most amazing views of Lake Atitlan.
Stellar views, thoughtfully designed rooms, relaxing lounge area, and delicious meals.
It's a glamping experience that provides a great hub for checking out the other lake towns. Easy to get around via tuktuk or the ferry.
Gaby was also so incredibly helpful and always available for any questions, suggestions or booking help.
Jochen is modest about his culinary skills but they were plated beautifully, great portions and above all delicious.
The mental recharge you get from the well maintained and beautiful grounds is unparalleled.
Only word of advice is that bags with shoulder straps are prefered because there are steps and its easier to climb without rolling luggages.
Do yourself the favor and book this amazing retreat with picture perfect views of the lake.

You will not find a more unique property or fascinating couple who are your hosts. They designed this volcanic tent/cottage resort with a panoramic view of Lake Atitlan and her Volcanoes. An amazing dining hall/bar etched into the volcanic rock with cusine made from scratch from your incredible Hosts Jochen y Gabbie. The sous vide steak/lomito was delicious. The nights under the moon and stars with the sounds of nature all around, make this a must stay at the lake. Hosts will hire private boats to enjoy the rest of the lake.

Staying at The Picnic Hotel in Tzununa was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we arrived, the owner and staff welcomed us with such warmth and friendliness that it felt like coming home. Their hospitality made our stay incredibly personal and special.
The hotel is nestled right in the heart of nature, offering a peaceful, grounding atmosphere that’s hard to find anywhere else. Waking up to the breathtaking view of the volcano and overlooking the serene Lake Atitlán was nothing short of magical. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeper, and truly appreciate the beauty around you.
If you’re looking for an authentic, soul-nourishing escape in Guatemala, The Picnic Hotel is it. Highly recommended!

Gaby and Jochen were absolute stellar hosts who were always there to answer any questions we had. Their exquisite meals were served in an open air bar high up overlooking the lake and volcanos in the distance. We would not hesitate to recommend this unique property with its open air rooms.

The view and room were gorgeous, the food was fresh, well-prepared and plentiful, and best of all Gaby and Jochen were so warm and inviting (but unobtrusive!) that our stay felt like a trip with old friends. Also, they make a mean rum old fashioned. We highly recommend Picnic for your Lake Atitlan stay!

If you want to wake up to the most beautiful view of Lake Atitlan and connect with nature you have to stay at El Picnic. We had the most amazing two night stay there. The food and drinks were top notch - Johan is an excellent chef. We enjoyed having breakfast and dinner with Johan, Gaby and the other couples.
We just happened to be there during a meteor shower too and we saw 10 shooting stars from our patio. It was perfect! The two resident dogs were sweet and greeted us every day. The walk to the boat doc is only about 10 minutes (or you can take a quick tuktuk) so you can easily explore the towns around the lake.
I’m so thankful we found this hidden gem.

El Picnic is a magical, unique, once-in-a-lifetime stay! We booked the honeymoon suite (worth the extra!) and were pinching ourselves every day we woke up at the magnificent view and nature. The bed was super comfortable. Our hosts, Gaby and Johan were so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Thank you for creating a little paradise!

El Picnic was absolutely incredible! Waking up to views of lake atitlan was a highlight of our trip. The service, food, and property were great.
The town is not as great, it wasn’t a town at the top of my list to explore while in the area, but visiting El Picnic for a night was an unforgettable experience and definitely a highlight of our visit to the lake overall.
