Terramaya Boutique Hotel

Terramaya was our base while viewing Copan ruins and the surrounding area and it was one of the best hotels of our holiday. It is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as it’s location five minutes down a steep hill from the central square requires a reasonable degree of fitness. However, we were very happy with the location on a quiet street. Rooms are very traditional but extremely comfortable and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Lots of space in the room and we had a large balcony overlooking the garden and valley. Well equipped with tv, safe, daily filtered water, great shower and nice fluffy towels. Breakfast the best of our trip with fresh fruit, and choice of eggs or pancakes, juice, bread, and coffee. The owners who speak English are very helpful with suggestions of things to do and they also found us a very good deal for our onward transportation. There is nothing we would change and would be very happy to come here again.

It’s probably one of the best, if not the top one, accomodation option in Copan Ruinas. They offer spacious but cosy, clean and stylish rooms, beautiful open terrace with a nice garden-view, where you can have your breakfast. What’s worth to mention is very friendly and helpful staff, even if they barely speak English, what can be quite common in Honduras, they are easy to communicate with and ready to assist you, whenenever you need. I strongly recommend this place.

We very much enjoyed our two nights stay at TerraMaya! Most of all the staff was super friendly, you could ask them everything and we also got fresh cold towels and home made jamaica lemonades at our arrival! The rooms were also very nice with an incredible view to wake up to! We also got breakfast which was great, fresh orange juices, coffee, bread, eggs, homemade yoghurt and fruit.

We loved our 4 nights here! We had a beautiful, comfortable room with a lovely balcony and hammock. The staff was very friendly and super helpful. They even brought coffee up to our room for us! Breakfast was delicious every day, and great service. Sometimes Macaws would fly in and land on trees in the courtyard! The location is great, just a short walk down the hill to the town square. (We took a tuk-tuk to get back uphill!) This was our first stop on a 17 day trip to Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico, and it really got our trip off to a great start.

My wife and I stayed here one night on a recent trip to Central America. Our room looked just like the photos and had a tv. No English channels were available though. The room was nice enough but the bathroom did not have a ceiling while the bedroom had a high ceiling. The net result was that when someone was in the bathroom it sounded like they were sitting next to you in the bedroom. My wife and I both hated that aspect of the room. Street noise (dogs, roosters, trucks) was also a problem. Breakfast was pretty good but nothing unusual - eggs, fruit, yogurt. Although the place was nice in some respects I would not stay here again.

Terramaya is a modern boutique hotel with just six rooms. Each room has solid wood furniture and nice touches like artisan baskets for the TV and A/C controls. The two on the first floor (rooms 1 & 2) have private patios that face the street. The four upstairs rooms have private balconies. Rooms 5 & 6 have large balconies with great views of the garden. The breakfast, served on the back terrace, is homemade and includes great coffee and fresh fruit. Overall, the four employees including the night watchman are delightful and customer service oriented. In particular, the night receptionist Paola, made sure our stay was perfect. She doubles as an excellent concierge arranging a guide for the ruins and suggesting restaurants. Overall, this was a great option for a weekend visit and the perfect location—walkable to the main plaza and lots of restaurants. My only complaint was the lack of amenities in the bathroom. Only super small bars of generic soap and Head & Shoulders packets are provided. There is no conditioner or body lotion. Make sure to pack your own supplies if you need a specific toiletry.
