Come stay in this beautiful beach cottage owned and cared for by Monica Aldana, a TV personality and environmental filmmaker trained in indigenous rights and conservation. Just steps from the Pacific ocean, this home is fully equipped with three bedrooms (sleeps 10), two bathrooms, a kitchen, spacious living area, and pool. Monterrico, a comfortable drive from the international airport in Guatemala City, has plenty to offer, including mangroves, fresh coconut, and daily turtle releases from the adjacent nature reserve. Monterrico is also only a couple hours by car from Antigua -- the colonial Spanish Capital of Central America and a World Heritage site -- and Guatemala City. With ten days in Monterrico -- with cook and caretaker available -- there's no better way to relax in Guatemala than to stay at the heart of its beachlife!
