Skip Bali and the Maldives, head straight to La Fortuna instead. Tucked away in a cove on Lake Atitlan, this eco-friendly hotel has just 5 rooms, so you know you're getting the peace and quiet you've been craving. It's a little slice of private paradise only reachable by boat, where I spent my days chilling by the lake with a book in one hand and a drink in the other. They've have private boat transfers that are affordable and make getting there a breeze. But if you can also take the public boats and can zip you over to the nearby towns. San Marcos was a personal fave of mine. I checked out a couple of other places to stay around the lake, but La Fortuna? Hands down, it was my favorite. The food? Amazing. The staff? Couldn't be nicer. Felt like I was at the most luxurious summer camp or retreat for grown-ups. Seriously, try to book your trip around when they've got a room free – it's worth it. After tackling the Acatenango hike, winding down here was just what I needed.
