Please help with my group trip travel! (Antigua, Acatenango, Atitlan)

Hello! I'm currently planning a ~14-person (ages 25-30) 7-day group trip to Guatemala the first week of May 2027 and would love to hear any recommendations or comments! We're not looking for a big party scene but instead exploring and engaging with the area. One of my biggest concerns is finding proper accommodations for a group that size. Ie. should we stay at a large Air BnB/VRBO or hotels/hostels? Are there restaurants that accommodate that size or should we shoot for hiring a local chef to cook at our place? I'd love to support local businesses and communities as much as possible, so if I have something listed that wouldn't or you have recs that would, please let me know!

Check out my tentative schedule:

Day One: Arrive at GUA and take a scheduled shuttle to Antigua (Probably will book through Guatego or 12Go). Will most likely hire a chef if we stay at an Air Bnb/VRBO. Any recommendations on which part of Antigua to stay in?

Day Two: Explore Antigua & Coffee Tour

• De La Gente coffee tour
• Walk around Antigua visit some of the following:
  • Iglesia de la Merced (Church of La Merced)
  • Convento de la Recolección
  • Convent of the Capuchins
  • Ruins of the Convento de Santo Domingo (Convent of Santo Domingo)
• Wanted to visit Pastores for boots but probably won't have time. Would it be worth fitting it in?
• Eat: Rincóncito Antigüeño, El Tenedor, Rosanta - Cocina sostenible, Restaurante Fridas, 27 Adentro. So many options to choose from, would love to wonder in somewhere but hoping to prebook because of group size
• Close the night at a bar nearby our stay (any recs for a chill spot for beer?)

Day Three: Start Acatenango hike/tour

• Will use one of the following: Old Town Outfitters, OX Adventures, or Wicho & Charlies. Does it matter which one to go with? Should we do the Fuego add on?

Day Four: Finish Acatenango, Travel from Antigua to Atitlan

• No itinerary other than making it to Atitlan and checking into our stay; will probably book a shuttle through Guatego, 12go, or Antigua Tours
• Any recommendations on what area to stay in on Lake Atitlan? Panajachel? Santa Cruz? Or wherever we find a place we like?
  • We've looked at a few hotels, hostels and VRBO's around the area but I'd love to hear any recs/thoughts on which one would be best for ~14 people?
  • Cafe del Mundo, Casa Prana Hotel, La Iguna Perdida, Free Cervaza Hostel look like great places but thinking we would have a better experience in a large private rental residence on the water with a local chef

Day Five & Six: Explore Lake Atitlan

• We'd like to have these two days to relax and do light activities but want to spend most of the time lounging, drinking beer (at our stay/on the lake/or at a local bar), and enjoying the views.
• Some random activities we may incorporate (just one or two a day) listed below:
  • Paragliding
  • Kayaking/SUP on the water
  • Cliff jumping at Reserva Natural del Cerro Tzankujil
  • Group Yoga class - San Marcos La Laguna?
  • Cooking class
  • Guided fishing trip on the Lake?
  • Cacao ceremony/class
  • Santiago Atitlán market
  • Rey Tepepul Municipal Nature Reserve bird watching
  • Weaving class
  • Attend a fire ceremony

Day Seven: Antigua to GUA shuttle and fly home

Apologies for the many questions and rough planning and thank you for helping me! I'll update this thread as I plan more and post trip.
