Guatemala tried DST for one year 2011(?) and caused mass confusion. Half the country didn't switch. Every schedule had to be double-checked which time it was in "government time" or "old time". The large religious population was especially resistant to changing times, calling the previous time "god's time" and refusing to change clocks. Guatemala canceled DST the next year.
Being closer to the equator, the day length difference between the longest and shortest day is under 2 hours, so it makes no sense at all to have DST.
