We walked into Yat B'alam and knew we were going to like it. It's so pretty and the staff are all lovely. The shops have really cute, unique, souvenirs, too. Another benefit of the hotel is that Copan often has power outages, but this is one of the few places that has its own generator. The breakfasts downstairs in the... More

This hotel is a real gem - the location is great: it's a block away from the central square in Copan Ruinas and only a 10-15 minute walk from the main site of the famous Copan ruins and its museum. They have private off-street parking (free) if you have a rental car. The hotel itself is very well designed with... More

Wonderful hotel with a friendly, helpful staff. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. When I arrived, the manager and I presume owner said he had two room he would like me to look at, despite having reserved a specific one for me. He thought I might like a different room that was available, which I did, and he... More

I can hardly say enough for Yat B'alam (Jaguar in Mayan). Rina, Hugo, and the entire staff made our stay perfect. This is a four room, boutique hotel with an open air cafe, office and shops on the street level. Everyone went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The windows in our room were fairly... More

I wasn't sure of what to expect from this hotel because I booked it largely based on the many positive reviews. For starters, Copan is super quaint and beautiful. It is some way off the beaten track and you feel like you've stepped through a time warp or into some old western and Yat Balam helps to complete this picture.... More

For central Copan this is THE ONLY truly amazing place to stay as far as we are concerned. We were there on our honeymoon and Rina and all her staff could not have done more for us or been more attentive. Noth being able to find out too much info about Honduras from our Uk side base, Rina was there... More

I have stayed here several times, only 4 rooms, but very nice and singular each one. Both terraces are relaxing. The little stores on the first floor have nice things. Tha staff is very friendly and helpful.

We arrived in Copan Ruinas after a difficult bus trip and checked into this wonderful hotel. When we arose in the morning, we discovered a lovely patio above the street. We had breakfast there every morning which included fabulous coffee. The shower was great, really good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The staff treated us to platters of... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our honeymoon. Although we had some issues getting to and from Copan this had nothing to do with the hotel. Once we arrived we were greated with friendly smiles. When we got to our room, it was amazing with a balcony above the street we could sit on, a/c, a... More

It was our first time to Copan and we were lucky enough to stay at this wonderful boutique hotel. The owners, staff, and the people that live in this beautiful location have convinced me that a return trip is necessary. I can't think of anything report that wasn't positive about our experience. The hotel is located in the center of... More
