The space
From the moment you enter this lush, tropical oasis you'll realize you have been transported to a very special place. 100 year-old cypress trees and birds of paradise frame in the circular, drive-thru parking area.

The guest cottage, which has two bedrooms, living room, bathroom and kitchenette is adjacent to the parking area.

Other things to note
As part of new regulations inacted by the Guatemalan tax authority in January, 2023 (Acuerdo Gubernativo 245-2022), all businesses are required to submit an official government invoice for all sales in excess of Q.2500; failure to do so could result in a fine for the hosts (i.e. property owners).

For citizens of Guatemala a tax ID # or DPI number is required along with your name. For all non-Guatemalans a passport number along with your name is required in order to issue this official government invoice/receipt.

We are aware that you were required to provide this or similar information to register on Airbnb, however the hosts are not provided with these details.

After your reservation has begun, or shortly after your checkout, me or a member of my team will contact you for this information so that we can create a receipt (aka, "factura"). Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or if I can provide any additional detail on this subject. Thank you so much in advance for you understanding and cooperation.
