Casa de Santa Domingo/Antigua, Guatemala
The shockingly quaint colonial town of Antigua, Guatemala is home to Casa de Santa Domingo.

At night, gaze out your window at the hundreds of tea light candles across the landscape while sipping on a cocktail at the cozy dark wood bar. Walking distance to town, the cobble stone streets and pastel colored houses lead you to shopping, church ruins, and scenic exploration.
Happy Travels!
