Try the Junior Suite at the Marriott

Hi! We just got back from our visit trip. We had two adults and two children for part of the week and two adults and 4 children for the other part. We stayed at the Marriott. I could not say enough great things about them. They are totally accommodating. What we did is get a Junior Suite. Its not listed on the Marriott Site. You have to email them and ask for it. Its one room with a king bed or two double beds (be very specific what you want) and then another separate room that has a pullout couch. It looks like a regular room that they took the bed out of and made it a sitting room. It has a full bathroom, TV, refrigerator and a desk. This was perfect for us. We also asked to be on the Executive floor which meant you had access to bottled water, pop, breakfast in the AM(continental) and snacks in the evening and desserts in the later evening. Plus, you have Internet access. It was so worth it! Our price also included breakfast downstairs which was tremendous too. We didn't realize we were going to have the breakfast in the Executive lounge. Going again, we'd probably skip including breakfast downstairs and just use the breakfast in the lounge. Now, this is a business executive lounge, so you're nt supposed to take babies and kids in there. But, when there wasn't anyone in it, we did take our kids and they didn't say anything. If you want more info, or the email of the people at the Marriott, just PM me. Also, we had a driver/translator who took us to Antiqua, around GC and to Lake Antitlan. He was fantastic. I'd recommend him to anyone too. Good luck, its a fantastic trip. LSMOM
