Description

Great restaurant. Cheap. Pretty with swimming pool. Possibility to stay there night free. WiFi correct. Closed gate quite close to the road but surely the best place on this road! Big rigs up to 24 feet without problem

Super restaurant. Pas cher. Joli avec piscine. possibilité de rester là nuit gratuitement. WiFi correct. Portail fermé assez proche de la route mais sûrement le meilleur endroit sur cette route! Big rigs jusqu'à 24 pieds sans problème,pour les poilus grands à voir avec le patron

Polular eating place. Payed Q60 a night in our 7m motorhome. 5 of the 6 parking lots were occupied, so it was a tight fit. Good food, though. At the moment, restaurant and gates are closed at 18.00h. Very loud traffic noise all night.

As described, no matter wether you eat here or not, Erica, who was in charge was clear: you need to pay 50Qz / night.
Toilets clean. It’s a secure place to stop one night, right next to the highway, it has wifi, but the swimming pool, one can use only if you pay (15qz per person for pool use.)
If you need to stop somewhere on this road, there is many many new texaco gas stations and others too.

Très chouette endroit sur le bord de la route donc assez bruyant la nuit. Il y’a un restaurant avec des prix très corrects, des toilettes et possibilité de remplir en eau. Petite piscine. Personnel sympa et gardien la nuit. Wifi correct.
Attention: véhicule de 3m60 de hauteur maximum et 25 pieds de long.
Warning: vehicle up to 3m60 high and 25 feet long

Good for a night, food is good and not to expensive!
Like mentioned a bit loud because close to the road, nevertheless we had a good night sleep!

We arrived here when it was dark (around 7 pm) because of that and the slow traffic we decided not to drive further to guatemala city. The owner opened the gate (the restaurant was allready closed). The owner was very nice and friendly. We payed 50 Q for one night. His wife gave us the wifi password and the internet worked well. You can hear the street noises but we slept well. Good place to stay one night save. The toiletts are very clean.

We didn’t camp here, but we ate breakfast and it was great! Had the tipical one (28 quetzales) and pancakes (18 quetzales) both included a drink. Staff was friendly and the bathroom very clean. Wifi worked just fine. It seems a good place to spend the night.

50Q la nuit par véhicule avec eau, électricité, wifi, douche, toilettes, piscine. Site fermé et sécurisé la nuit, parking intérieur du restaurant. Chiens acceptés. Bruyant car à côté de la route CA-9. Restaurant basique mais équipe super sympa.
Très correct pour une nuit.

Good place for overnight. No shower.

adding the gate closes at 5:30 PM and opens early in the morning. parking is tight for a 22 ft rig, no turn around in parking area. Road construction happening still but not a long wait.

New fee... unfortunately. It's now 50Q per night to camp, whereas previously it was free if you ate at the restaurant. It seems to be an official new policy - we even got a receipt. As you're not allowed to cook here, you still have to eat at the restaurant... makes it a somewhat pricier place to camp... relatively speaking. Don't get me wrong, it's still a nice place to spend the night... wifi, bathroom, pool, etc. Just not what we expected. It's a good place to stop if you're running short on time and it's starting to get dark. If I had to do today over again, I would have left earlier from Antigua and driven straight to Rio Dulce, which it appears should only take ~5hrs total (Antigua to here took us only 2 hrs). Re: wifi speed, seems to be ~ 1.2MB download and 0.3MB upload.

Unfriendly staff and manager. You can still camp for free if you have dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Food is good and price is average.They won't gave us the password for the wifi. Maybe they just had a bad day but I would not camp here again.

Very nice staff! We got power and a relaxing night for free and eats a delicious meal! Our rig (24 ft) perfect and we didn't have a problem to cross the gate!

Awesome spot for small rigs. Fits around 5 campervans. Good stopover option between Rio Dulce and Antigua. Good food, friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Nice pool. Manager let us camp for free after buying a meal. Gates closed at night, super secure.

Stayed one night. Paradise in the middle of a concrete jungle. Ok, it's still a resturant parking lot off the side of the busy hwy going to Guatemala city. However it's well closed off, locked gates at night with a security guy. It's relatively level, covered in plants and has a swiming pool. very clean toilets with hand soap, toilet seats, TP, paper towels. We parked close to the wall and they let us plug into electricity. Food is decent, decent prices too. We ate dinner had a couple beers, and breakfast. Restaurant is open 6:30am-8pm We were not charged to camp. Just eat here!
