Scene
A luxurious golf resort in the shadow of four volcanoes
La Reunion Golf Resort offers luxurious facilities surrounded by incredible scenery. Striking views of Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes are seen throughout the resort, and the Fuego volcano regularly belches out plumes of gray ash. To reach the resort, visitors will follow a cobblestone road uphill, passing coffee trees and vegetation along the way. The clubhouse lies at the heart of the property, and houses the front desk, golf pro shop, fitness center, restaurant and bars.The resort is built in a Neo-Colonial style, with gurgling fountains, textured stucco walls, and wooden beams; the scent of incense adds to the ambiance. Because the resort is located a 30-minute drive from Antigua, it has a wide range of activities to keep guests entertained on-site. Several restaurants and bars, an infinity-edge pool with swim-up bar, kiddy pool, and the 18-hole Fuego Maya golf course are all located on the resort's grounds.El Mirador Restaurant and Wayeb Bar have impressive views, but the food (and sometimes the service) at the latter leave something to be desired. The staff speaks limited English. A sure bet, however, is the popular Sunday morning breakfast buffet. An open-air snack bar next to the pools offers more casual fare.The 26-room boutique hotel is located downhill from the clubhouse, surrounded by the 18-hole Fuego Maya golf course. Rooms are divided into two subsections, found on opposing ends of one of the golf course’s holes.Renowned course architect Pete Dye designed the golf course, with 18 holes inspired by the 19 months of the Maya calendar. The bar (commonly known among golfers as the 19th hole), is named for the last month, Wayeb. The months of the Maya calendar are depicted in their traditional emblem glyphs, found on concrete plaques at their respective holes along the golf course.
Location
A 30-minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Antigua
La Reunion Golf Resort and Residences is located a 30-minute drive from the colonial city of Antigua, Guatemala. This UNESCO World Heritage site is located amid volcanoes and is home to a wide range of restaurants, bars, shopping, and cultural attractions. It is one of the most popular tourist spots in Guatemala.The resort lies about 10 miles as the crow flies from Antigua, but a trek along a twisting mountain road is required to reach it; some guests (or golfers) opt to arrive by helicopter instead (the resort has its own helipad). La Reunion is built on a hillside of the grounds of an old coffee plantation. In addition to its location in the shadow of four volcanoes, the resort has incredible views downhill to Guatemala's Pacific coastal plain. Guatemala's Pacific coast -- home to world-class sport fishing and whale-watching tours -- is located 45 minutes away down a four-lane highway.- 75-minute-drive to La Aurora International Airport (GUA)

The bathroom mirror is surrounded by a wooden antique frame.Grand Class Suites have one king bed and a couch, while Master Suites have two queen beds; the two-level layout of the Grand Class Suites makes them feel slightly less spacious.- Spacious patios with private, heated plunge pools
