“Beautiful, convenient, good for the soul”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

Stayed over Christmas in 2011 and it was perfect.

Though it's just across the river from town this is still just 15 minutes walk from the centre and not much more than that from the ruins. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, as is the rest of the Hacienda with tasty and delicious breakfasts to boot.

The best thing though is your host, Rodger. He gave us great advice, was a warm and welcoming host and sorted out private transport both from San Pedro Sula and onto Lago di Yojoa when getting public transport proved problematic. We also changed money with him and got lifts into town - basically, nothing was too much trouble which if you're new in a country where all the guide books imply you should be wary of everything, is a terrific comfort.

In a highly entertaining last evening he also told us much of his back story - including that of the charitable work the Hacienda residents help fund which in and of itself would have been enough of a reason to stay even if the stay itself wasn't also great.

I know he *says* he isn't an astronaut but in between writing tunes, flying planes, selling real estate and being a paramedic maybe it's something he's planning on doing in the near future?

I can't see how you could find anywhere better in the town; certainly not for the money and definitely not with the same benefits you'll be contributing to the local community. It would be a crime *not* to stay here.

“Better than home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

Very friendly and service minded staff so you will not be disapointed. We stayed an extra night due to the service level.
One advice, you could stay in the City center, but then you will have all the noise from the cars/trucks going up hill in the night (the winows are not isolated due to the nice climate). The hotel is far away from the road, so you will only hear the birds in the morning (remember ear plugs). We got some few lifts to the Copan Ruinas etc and a taxi to the hotel cost only 1 dollar, so go for the peacefull hotel.
I have over 60 nights at hotels in Europe last year and this is by no question the best !!!

“Absolutely beautiful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

Got my parents and me and a friend stay there for a long weekend, and it was a very good choice. Rodger offered a lot of help in accompanying my parents from the shuttle to a restaurant and then the haciendo while me and my friend drove down the next day. The rooms are very nice and clean, the surroundings of the hacienda just stunning, the staff very friendly and above all you support a good cause. Much more quiet than inside the town so definitely to be recommended.

“The Best Place in Copan Ruinas”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

I highly recommend staying at Hacienda la Esperanza. It's perfect for everyone including people traveling solo or with family. The rooms are great, private, and very clean. Rodger is the owner of the B&B. He's a wonderful man who will make you feel right at home. You won't want to leave! *** make sure you get him to play the guitar a few nights!
