Tikal is awesome go to tikal for sure!! Panajachel is awesome (Lago Atitlan) Imagen a lake with 3 volcanoes surrounding it, in a beutifull tropical paradise... thats panajachel! Sure theres hippies... but hey.. its beautiful..
Antigua is very nice with lots of history and ancient places and some great places to eat. If you can get to the beach, check it out... black sand! volcanic sand that is.
Safety is an issue, i wouldnt take my Canon5DmkII if you know whata i mean. Stay lo-key blend in with the locals, dont stray into the bad parts of town, specially in the capital!!!
Whatver you do make sure you go to Tikal & Flores (both in peten)
