NOTE: This is an adults-only retreat (ages 18+).
Rooms in both locations are to be booked through us not, through the hotels or retreat center links below.

Rooms and Registration

Our Guatemala adventure will begin with two (2) nights in Antigua at the El Convento Boutique Hotel, followed by seven (7) nights at Villa Sumaya on Lake Atitlan. The rooms at El Convento are built into the overall retreat price below. At Villa Sumaya, there are three different room options, each with its own price point.

The Retreat Packet Price Includes:

• 2 nights at El Convento in Antigua (with breakfast)

• 7 nights at Villa Sumaya (three meals each day)

• Ground and boat transportation to and from the airport, Antigua, and Villa Sumaya

• Gratuity/tips for the hotel staff at both locations (except for breakfast wait staff at El Convento Hotel)

• Participation in a Cacao Ceremony at Villa Sumaya

You will be assigned a room at El Convento depending on if you are a single or double occupancy since all the rooms are similar. Reservations for the Villa Sumaya rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis. The prices listed below are per person for single, double or triple occupancy. If you are traveling alone but are interested in a roommate, please let us know and we might be able to match you with someone, though we can’t guarantee it. If you select double occupancy you will share a room at both El Convento and Villa Sumaya.

A Registration Form is at the bottom of the page.
Once you have registered, Machelle will send you a link to make your deposit.

El Convento Boutique Hotel (Antigua)

We will be spending our first two nights (February 26th and 27th, 2026) at El Convento, which is about 5 blocks from the central plaza and easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the artisan’s market.

Villa Sumaya (Lake Atitlan)

We will be spend an additional 7 nights (November 9th-16th) at Villa Sumaya on Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala. Eric used to live in the town of Panajachel on the lake. We have hosted three groups at this all-inclusive retreat center earlier and had a marvelous time. Check out this video tour of Villa Sumaya.

Below is more detailed information about each room. Villa Sumaya is built into the side of a mountain, so please note the information about the number of stairs for each room. The Maya Rose rooms, as well as the Jaguar Bungalow 30 and the Caracole Apartment 28, are down closer to the shoreline, with fewer stairs to the main courtyard, dining room, and reception. The various Ginger suites and the Skyline Bungalow 9 are higher up from the lake, with more space and grander views, but require climbs of 40 to 70 steps up from the main courtyard.
