Tikal Futura Hotel & Convention Center

Tikal Futura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent
"During our trip to Guatemala in August 2026, we stayed at Hotel Tikal Futura to celebrate my brother’s birthday. It was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The security team made us feel safe and comfortable throughout our stay. The hotel offers fantastic amenities, including a beautiful pool, gym, massage services, and a shopping mall right next door, with a movie theater nearby! The food was absolutely delicious! Our package included a breakfast buffet featuring traditional Guatemalan favorites such as eggs, beans, breakfast meats, fresh bread, tropical fruits, freshly squeezed juices, and amazing coffee. Every meal was five-star quality! Our rooms were spacious, spotless, and comfortable, with daily housekeeping, air-conditioning, and spectacular city views. What truly made our stay special was the outstanding hospitality. Everyone went above and beyond to make my brother’s birthday celebration memorable. We had such a wonderful time that we honestly didn’t want to leave! I highly recommend Hotel Tikal Futura for its comfort, security, delicious food, excellent amenities, and exceptional service. Thank you for making our family celebration unforgettable! We cannot wait to return! ❤️🇬🇹"
