The first stop on our Guatemalan road trip was El Remate, a small village on the northeast corner of Lake Peten Itza. I had made a reservation at a hotel online, and discovered once we arrived that they did not receive it, but could accommodate nevertheless. It was very small and rustic, which is ok but
