Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel

Book Las Lagunas overwater bungalows starting at $315 per night

Las Lagunas is located in the heart of the Mayan world, near the ancient ruins of Tikal, Uaxactún and Yaxhá. Although it's just 10 minutes from the international airport, it feels isolated in the rainforest amid more than 300 acres of untouched nature reserve.

Here, a set of 12 Waterfront Master Suites are connected by high rise paths, each a one-bedroom bungalow with a cascade shower bathroom, and a deck with Jacuzzi over the water.

Nearly 500 Trip Advisor reviewers give Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel an overall "Excellent" rating of 5.0.

Pros: Excellent value with access to stunning Mayan ruins and a jungle feel unlikely to be found in other overwater villas.

Cons: If you're looking for over-the-top opulence, you might find this option rustic (or that aspect could be a pro).
