Hotel Casazul

Hotel room was on the top floor which would give good views although the communal terrace is right outside your window. For me, it was never a problem, but I can imagine if some rowdy guests were talking or drinking on the terrace it would cause disruptions.

Very cute, clean place. The staff was super friendly. The day person spoke great English. The beds were a bit stiff but I had no problem sleeping. Make sure you get a room over looking the lake otherwise the cars and bikes cruising the island will be very noise till all hours. The lake side was quiet and pretty at night with the lights across the way. Shower had great pressure and hot water. Hotel is all tile floors and old doors so you will get noise in the morning but check out is not till 1:00 so plenty of time to go back to sleep. I’d absolutely recommend this side of the island verses the other where most of the bars are.

I stayed here 1 night and it was a bit of a walk from the main street. I wouldn't usually mind, but because I was tired from a 6 hour tour from Tikal earlier in the day, walking a few blocks with 16lb backpack in tow in 103 degree weather wasn't really what I would've prefered to do. The reason being that vans/tour buses are not allowed past the main street because the streets are not wide enough. Once at the hotel check in was a breeze and Chonita was vey kind and informative. Not much of a view from the lobby or outside, but once I reached my room, the view of Lake Peten Itza was amazing. I was on the third floor, no elevator. Again, usually not a big deal, but I'm 47 and bad knees. Hot and tired from walking and traveling all morning, it was tiresome. The room was very clean. Air conditioning is a must and there's worked great. There's a mini fridge loaded with different types of drinks. Beer, soda. water and even offer small bottles of wine and liquor along with a price list of what each item will cost. TV, wifi worked well. My room was located right besides the outdoor community deck. For most of my stay it was empty and it was nice to sit outside and lounge reading a book and enjoying the views. At night time some other guests were out on the deck and I could hear their conversations, but it wasn't botheresome because I was exhausted from my day, I went to sleep right away. You must take advantage of the sunrise, perfect view to watch it come up around 5:30 am. I was still in my pj's and was not surprised to see more guests awake and enjoying it too. Overall experience was good. They offer free breakfast at an affiliate hotel, I chose to eat at La Casona, which is literally down the block about a 5 minute walk with a great view of the lake. Then before I left I took a swim at another affiliate hotel, Hotel Peten, which is about a 10 minute walk.

At Casazul, we enjoyed the best view in Flores, and watched the sun set each evening from our large balcony, with an ice-cold Gallo in hand. Chonita was helpful in advising attractions, tours and transportation. We highly recommend Casazul. William and Susan

The rooms are very simple but spotlessly clean with comfortable beds. No breakfast included but there are coffee and buns available in the reception area. Rudy on reception was excellent and organised a tour to Tikal for us. The highlight is the shared balcony with views towards San Miguel.

Amazing hotel, comfortable, friendly staff... Incredible view! 😍 Working air con (necessary) But... Be careful if you're foreign!!! They told me they were just checking my card on file and going to charge it £0.00 (standard) when they tried to charge me fo the entire room again! Luckily I have a online bank which informs me when someone tried to spend money... Also, I speak Spanish so was able to call him out. The taxi driver from the airport also overcharged me. You can see how much they rely on tourism on this island for money! Finally, when me and two friends were buying beers in the hotel. I asked how much was a bottle of beer. The guy told me 10Q (£1, €1, $1.30) and then his friend quickly saw I was foreign and said "no it's 15Q a beer" to which his friend replied "oh yeah.... 15Q a beer... So it's 45Q instead of 30Q for 3 beers." Of course I didn't argue because it's not too much but the point is that I felt conned. I want others to be very careful of the tourist prices. If you are foreign, even if you don't speak Spanish... They'll try to con you all day long and even lie to your face. Conclusion : This is a BEAUTIFUL hotel which is very clean and has an incredible view! But... PLEASE be careful of them taking advantage if you're foreign 😃

The hotel is perfect for what it is. The staff are friendly and always ready with a smile, but don't expect English. We checked in after dark and the door was locked, but we were quickly let in. The young man at the desk was very nice. The room was clean and had a beautiful balcony. The view of the lake was really nice. The price was good. The hotel is older, but it is well maintained. Air conditioning worked well. I would choose to stay here again when I come back to Flores.

Casa Azul has a great location, in Flores, just by the lake. The balcony has an incredible view over the lake and San Miguel, perfect to watch the sunset and chil during the hottest hours of the day. The rooms are spacious and clean, with plenty of storage space and a small fridge, perfect to keep any fresh food and water/beer. Big comfy beds, aircon available. The bathroom is also big with a powerful shower. Staff is kind and friendly. There is a small kitchen area downstairs, with coffee mugs, glasses, plates and cutlery.

My favorite thing about this hotel was the location. It has a nice balcony with an amazing view of the lake. My room had a strong smell of mold and the wifi signal was so weak that the internet was unusable while in the room.
