About

Free Cerveza is a fun glamping hostel located right on the beautiful shores of Lake Atitlan. Our awesome lakefront property overlooks 3 of Central America's most famous volcanoes - San Pedro, Atitlan, and Toliman.

We have a bar fully stocked with all of your favorite alcoholic (and non-alcoholic) beverages, a full breakfast, lunch & dinner menu prepared by our gourmet Mayan chefs.

We offer private glamping options (1-3 people) as well as our very popular cozy lakehouse which sits out on the water. All types of accommodation are fully set up with electrical power and warm blankets.

All guests can enjoy unlimited use of Free Cerveza's facilities and equipment. You can sunbathe and swim off of our private docks, enjoy unlimited use of our stand up paddleboards and innertubes, zen out with our yoga mats on our lakefront platform, or join in on one of our fun daily activities! We also have limited access to WIFI - although we promise, you will find a better connection with the people and the atmosphere.

In a mission to protect our beautiful environment, the owners built this property with love, using eco-friendly materials and technology such as compost toilets, recycled wood, and glass bottles, and LED lighting.

Free Cerveza is located in Santa Cruz la Laguna on the northern shore of Lake Atitlan, only a 10-minute boat ride from the main dock at Panajachel. You can even ask for the driver to drop you off directly on our private dock!

Nice spot to stay for a couple of days! Definitely a social hostel with a younger crowd but noise/party immediately shuts down at 10pm. Access to the dock, paddle boards, kayaks was a nice bonus! Restaurant/bar was also good! Name is a bit of an exaggeration as “free” beer is only included for one hour if you pay for dinner which was 80Q but worth it for the family dinner experience

Loved my stay here, staff were amazing and helpful. The free beers and family dinners are great! My only criticism is that there were flies everywhere… I’ve never experienced anything like it. I couldn’t enjoy the yoga because of this
