On 10 November 2026, six of 11 hotels’ and hostels’ own booking engines in Antigua, Lake Atitlán and El Paredón still showed rooms or beds for Christmas, but New Year’s Eve was tighter: seven of the 11 showed no rooms for 30 December 2026 to 1 January 2027. Each property’s own booking engine was searched for 2 adults for two windows, 24-26 December and 30 December-1 January, between 21:34 and 21:37 UTC. For New Year’s Eve, only Del Lago Atitlan and Cocorí still showed a private room; two Antigua hostels showed dorm beds.
In short: Sold out for both windows on 10 November: Mestizo Hotel and Hotel Las Marias (Antigua), Lush Atitlán, Free Cerveza Hostel and Hotel La Casa del Mundo (Lake Atitlán). Rooms for Christmas but not New Year: Hotel Casa Antigua by AHS (one double left, 189.00 for 2 nights) and Swell Guatemala (El Paredón). Still open for both: Del Lago Atitlan, Cocorí (one room left for New Year), and dorms at Yes Please! Hostel and Adra Hostel Boutique. Prices are in US dollars as each engine printed them. This is a dated snapshot, not a forecast.
How this snapshot was taken
Every result below comes from the property’s own booking engine (Cloudbeds), not from Booking.com, Airbnb or Vrbo. Each result is for 2 adults, check-in 24 December and check-out 26 December 2026, then check-in 30 December 2026 and check-out 1 January 2027: two nights each time. The engines’ currency selector was set to US dollars. Lake Atitlán and El Paredón were read at 21:34 UTC and Antigua at 21:36 UTC on 10 November 2026.
Prices are copied as printed. Where an engine prints 2 Nights or 2 noches after a figure, that figure covers the two-night search. Where it prints Price from or Precio desde with no period, the page does not say whether it is per night or per stay, and neither does this page.

Antigua: one hotel room left, hostel beds open
Of the three Antigua hotels, only Hotel Casa Antigua by AHS still had a room for Christmas, and its engine flagged it as the last one: Sólo queda 1, a Habitación Doble with private bath at 189.00 for the two nights. For New Year’s Eve it showed no availability. Hotel Las Marias and Mestizo Hotel showed no availability for either window.
The two hostels still had beds. Yes Please! Hostel’s last private room for Christmas, SENCILLA 101 (one double bed, shared bath), was 165.40 for 2 noches; for New Year’s Eve it listed four dorms and no private room. Adra Hostel Boutique listed only shared rooms (Habitación Compartida) in both windows. For Christmas it showed an END OF YEAR rate with two figures per dorm, for example 19.63 and 15.70 for its Santa María dorm; for New Year it showed a standard rate of 35.33. Adra’s engine adds: Tarifas más 22% de impuestos (rates plus 22% tax).
Antigua’s December calendar is on Antigua Guatemala in December, and the 31 December celebration is on New Year’s Eve in Guatemala.
Lake Atitlán: three of four had nothing
Lush Atitlán, Free Cerveza Hostel and Hotel La Casa del Mundo in Jaibalito showed no availability for either window. La Casa del Mundo’s engine adds that it may still have space if a guest can change rooms during the stay (nosotros movemos su equipaje, it moves the luggage) and asks guests to contact it directly for other options.
Del Lago Atitlan was the exception, with the same rooms and prices for both holidays, plus one more for New Year’s Eve: Tajumulco 2, sleeps up to 4, 91.60 for 2 Nights. Its cheapest private room, Private Room w shared bath, sleeps up to 2 and was 71.97 for 2 Nights; its Fuego 2 and Fuego 4 rooms were 115.16 and 116.46, each marked Only 1 left.

El Paredón: Christmas open, New Year almost gone
Swell Guatemala had seven room types with prices for Christmas, several marked Only 1 left, and showed Sold Out for New Year’s Eve. It is the only property of the 11 that printed a minimum stay: “A two-night minimum stay is required for reservations including Friday and Saturday nights.”
Cocorí had six room types for Christmas, from 59.00 to 145.00 as Price from figures. For New Year’s Eve one room was left: Parlamita, sleeping 2, at a Price from of 180.00; for Christmas the same room showed 59.00. Its engine marks the Safari Tiny House, Mosquito and (for New Year) Parlamita with No minors under 18 years old are allowed.

Before you book
The engines showed a two-adult search on one evening. A different party size, one extra night or a different arrival date can give a different answer. Search your own dates on the property’s own booking page, and check the tax line before paying: Adra says its rates are plus 22% tax.
