STV Super Specials
What do these rates mean?

* STV Super Specials are STV's usual SUPER Discounted Special rates, GENUINELY and STRICTLY ONLY available for TRAVEL INDUSTRY Employees resident globally, and are classified as an Employee Benefit. (Available to Airline, Travel Agent, Tour Operator, ATC & Airport Handling Agent Employees)

* You must be a Travel Industry Employee and you must be registered with STV (Free) to be able to book our STV Super Special rates.

* Minimum one Travel Industry Employee per room. You are required to present your I.D. / proof of employment on check-in.

* There is no limit to the number of bookings per year you can book (unless stated otherwise)

* Friends and Family cannot book STV Super Special Rates. They can accompany you but must stay in the same room as you (some hotels permit an extra room for Friends & Family and if so this will be stated on the hotel page, but you must always be included in the booking and be staying at the hotel).

* PAYMENT & CANCELLATION: With STV Super Special rates you only need to pay a very small refundable deposit within 14 days of making your booking, or right away if travelling short notice, and the main balance of the booking is paid direct to the hotel, usually on check-in. It is FREE to cancel or amend dates for your booking, often right up to and including the day of check-in, making these rates great for standby travelers (see each hotels payment & cancellation terms). When you make a booking request with STV Super Special rates and it is confirmed, you do not need to go ahead with the booking and can cancel immediately without paying a deposit if you wish.

* Remember STV Super Special Rates are only available for Airline & Travel Industry Employees as an employee benefit and are the lowest rates you will ever find.

MORE INFORMATION

* True Airline & Travel Industry Employee rates are known as ON REQUEST. This means you choose your hotel and Super Special rate and submit your booking request through our website and you will receive a response back from the hotel as soon as possible. Because the rate is so highly discounted, the hotel 1st needs to check if they have enough spare rooms to agree to let you pay these exclusive Travel Industry Employee rates. The hotels will often reply to you the same day but be prepared to wait up to 24-48 hours ~ It's worth it!

* BEWARE of other Interline/Agency companies telling you they offer Genuine Airline & Travel Industry Employee rates with 'immediate confirmation'! This is simply not true, and you are being misled. Hotels need to manually check their availability for Genuine Travel Industry employee rates and this can take 1-2 days. This is why they are known as ON REQUEST rates.

* BEWARE. If other companies tell you your Friends and Family can use the same rates as you unaccompanied, you know they are not genuine Travel Industry Rates! No hotels allow Friends & Families to book genuine Airline & Travel Agency Employee rates unaccompanied, so they are simply selling you rates that are also available to the general public through other channels.

STV have different rates available to Friends and Family to enjoy unaccompanied, they are called STV Direct rates. Because we source such rates in bulk and are the only truly global client and leading company selling holidays to Airline and Travel Agency Employees and their Friends and Family (we have served travel industry employees resident in over 200 countries ~ almost every single country on the planet), we always have the lowest STV Direct rates available anywhere.

Educational Rates for Travel Industry Staff

Location

Peten Esplendido sits right on the shores of lake Petén Itzá, the second largest lake in Guatemala. It is conveniently located just 3 minutes from Mundo Maya International Airport, and only 50 minutes from Tikal National Park, heart of the "Mundo Maya”. 

Petén is the biggest department of Guatemala with a territorial extension of 35,854 squared kilometres. The region is known for its wealth of archaeological treasures, its flora and fauna, and its biosphere reserve. The numerous archaeological sites make Petén one of the most important sites for Mayan exploration in the world. These fascinating sites, surrounded by dense central American jungle, have helped shape what we know about this fascinating civilisation today.

Tikal, the ancient ruins of a city, was declared a Cultural Heritage of Humanity Site by UNESCO in 1979, and is one of the largest archaeological sites of the pre-Columbian Maya civilisation. Other sites include the ancient cities of Yaxhá, Ceibal, Aguateca, and San Bartolo. In El Mirador you will find the biggest pyramid, relative to the size of its base, found anywhere in the Mayan world.

Restaurant

Restaurant El Mirador serves up top quality international and local cuisine. Two dinning areas are available, including an interior area and an enchanting terrace with unforgettable views of Flores Island and the lake.

Meeting and events

The hotel is a perfect spot to do business. Facilities include; meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 250 people, wireless internet in meeting rooms, restaurants and public areas, a business center, audiovisual equipment, translation services, banquets, coffee and bar service.

Rooms

The hotel has 62 comfortable and well equipped rooms. All come with air conditioning, cable TV, in-room safety box, phone, and hair dryer. Services provided include: room service, laundry service, 24-hr front desk assistance, wake-up calls. Helpful staff can assist with booking local tours, car rental, and flights.

Things to do

While the ancient Mayan ruins are undoubtedly a major drawcard, the region also boasts beaches, rivers, natural reserves, and plenty of opportunities to engage with the locals and immerse yourself in Guatemalan culture. The plethora of natural reserves in Petén are home to hundreds of species of animals, making the region a great spot for bird lovers and ecotourists alike. Located right on the shores of Petén Itza, water activities like motor boat tours of the lake are also on offer.

If you have some time to explore Flores and the surrounding areas, a trip to the Actún Caves makes for an interesting day trip. Less well known than some of the other cave systems in Guatemala, the Actún Caves (or Cave of Snakes), with its unique limestone formations is still well worth a visit. Make your way to Santa Elena, and from there hitch a ride by taxi or tuktuk to the caves. Don’t worry, the caves aren’t actually full of snakes. 

Throughout the region of Petén, the largest in Guatemala, a number of Mayan archaeological sites can be found. Many of these site have been restored, but others haven’t received much attention from archaeologists. This makes the region an excellent place to explore the pre-classic, classic, and post-classic periods of this great civilization.
