Meals presented as self-service are served on the terrace on the third floor.
Hotel San Francisco
A popular location as some rooms have a kitchen and a bathroom, and the showers are warm but not hot. Most rooms come with a great view of the lake and a balcony. This hotel is on the other side of the hill but all the locals know where it is, so start asking around once you reach the top of the hill. Because the quality of the rooms vary, ask to see a few before committing. You can bargain for cheaper rates if you stay 2 or more nights, say that you will look at other hotels to get the best rate.
Zoola
Good food, and very chill atmosphere. Staff have a reputation around town for being rude. Israeli themed and run. 100 Q for private double room ensuite. Walk-in only, no reservations.
Basic accommodation is easily found when you arrive as you will likely be approached at the dock. Average pricing is 50Q. Some specific places include:
Hotel Paraiso
One of the cheapest places to stay, the dorm rooms adjoining the office are only Q10 per person if 2 or more share them Q15 for an individual. The showers are connected with the 115VAC directly to the plumbing, so it is strongly recommended to turn off the breaker and take a cold shower.. The owner knows this, and if you mention it to him you might be asked to leave.
Hotel Ti-Kaaj
Hammocks, kitchen, warm showers, cats.
Casa Elena
Is located after nick's place. clean room with twin beds on the lakeshore. owned and operated by a friendly maya family. relatively basic accommodations and a frat-house atmosphere.
Tepepul Kaan
Tepepul Kaan is located above the "calle Turistica" directly above Junior's Travel Agency about 100m left of the Pana dock. Locally owned Tepepul Kaan offers inexpensive rooms Q50/75 all with private bathrooms, and a rooftop terrace to chill on. The hotel offers clean rooms at better prices than in Guate, and is one of the newer and cleaner hotels in San Pedro. Both backpaker and family friendly. Tepepul Kaan is also the only hotel that donates a portion of its money 25% to a local childrens charity.
