Hotels in Guatemala and Honduras
Hotel Mesón del Valle
The first of hotels in Guatemala and Honduras We stayed in the city of Antigua, a small city, but with many possibilities. Mesón del Valle is located on 5th Avenue South, right on the same street as the famous Santa Catalina Arch, very central and two steps from the Central Plaza of Antigua.
We were placed in room number three, which is quite small but enough to sleep. In the room we also have a small sofa and a small desk on which to work.
We also found the bathroom too small for our taste, but it has all the necessary comforts and objects for cleaning.
The rooms are located around a beautiful courtyard, highlighting the decoration of the entire hotel, very careful and adequate.
There is wifi included in the price of the room that works quite quickly and has no cuts, either from the room or from the common areas.
Breakfast is not included in the price of the room and must be paid separately. The price is five dollars to change. It may seem a bit expensive, but it is very complete and they serve it from 7 in the morning, although if you want they can prepare it a little earlier if you ask.
They have free coffee and tea service in the patio area and they also have a barrel with drinking water, which really comes in handy, especially if you don't have it at that time.
We recommend this option since it is a very central hotel, it is very clean and the treatment received has been most pleasant and close.

Regis Hotel Spa
Hotel in the Panajachel center, on Lake Atitlan, on Santander Street, the most central of the town, which has hot springs and spa.
The rooms are small, with double beds, but enough to spend a night, especially for the great location it has.
The bathroom is also large, with all kinds of amenities and quite clean.
Our room at the Hotel Regis Spa
If we have to find something that we don't like, it is without a doubt that they have free Wi-Fi only at the reception and it closes at 10 p.m. and opens at 7 a.m.
There are also no meals included in the room price, not even breakfast. Luckily right in front of you there is a cafeteria / restaurant that opens at 6 in the morning and they serve great breakfasts and very adjusted in price.
The truth is that we did not like the lack of minimum services for a hotel in this category.

Tikal Inn
Hotel in Tikal 200 meters from the same park entrance. After our experience we can say that the bad opinions we read in different forums are totally justified and that is the definition of eco lodge that they have on their website, it could be replaced by "unreformed hotel since its inception". With the excuse of being an eco lodge, they have a lousy service, both in customer service, as in facilities, as in the restaurant service, which is the bad, the worst.
In the reservation they include lunch or dinner with drinks included, although these, once there are only coffee or tea (for breakfast, lunch and dinner).
They do not have Wi-Fi, no matter how much they confirm and affirm that they do and that only the signal is lost "occasionally".
For us the only reason to return would be the location, but without a doubt, counting that there are two more options such as the Jaguar Inn Tikal or the Jungle Lodge, which are also next to the park entrance, our choice would be one of the latter.

Hotel Villa del Lago
Hotel in Flores, very central and less than 200 meters from the lake. The rooms are spacious and have all the services and amenities. They have a terrace overlooking the lake where you can enjoy a very pleasant time.

The Semuc Champey Portal
Hotel in Semuc Champey, right next to the entrance to the pools. Despite the comments on the internet, some not too good, our experience, for two nights, has been 10. We were staying in a cabin, with private bathroom, with spectacular river views.
Entering our room at the Semuc Champey Portal
The cabins have a small terrace with chairs and hammocks, overlooking the river.
The Semuc Champey Portal It also has shared rooms, triple and quadruple, which, as several guests told us, are very good.
Although they announce that they have Wi-Fi, they warn you that they often have cuts, due to the location. In our case we could not connect at any time in the 2 and a half days we were there.
Being away from Lanquín, 9 kilometers away, they have a restaurant service, with a very wide and quality menu, at quite reasonable prices.
At the same reception they organize transfers to Flores, Tikal, Río Dulce ... the latter for 150 quetzales per person, which you can book directly there, if possible with a couple of days in advance to secure the place.
In the Lonely Planet Guatemala guide, you have to pay entrance to Semuc Champey if you stay here, even if you don't go to the pools that day. This is incorrect, since access to the pools is only paid once you enter the premises.
Being an eco lodge, they have no electric service throughout the day. The light is given from 9 to 12 in the morning and from 6 to 11 at night.

Mar Marine Yacht Club
Hotel in Río Dulce. As with the accommodation of Semuc Champey, the Mar Marine Yacht Club surprised us positively, since we found it much better than we expected, due to the somewhat negative opinions we had read.
Being a little away from the most central area, which is only one street, they have very correct restaurant service, with a variety of dishes, good quality although with slightly higher prices than in the other places we were. The breakfast for example has a price of 65 quetzals per person, but we have to say that it is very good and abundant.
Mar Marine from the Rio Dulce bridge
Keep in mind that Marine Yatch is part of an accommodation, a jetty, so it is not a hotel itself or the type of accommodation that we might initially think, although both rooms and facilities have all the necessary services And they are clean.
They also have a pool, bar and internet connection in the common areas with a more than acceptable speed. Having your own jetty, if you hire a tour to Livingstone, they can pick you up at the same accommodation.
The only bad thing is that the two-story rooms are very noisy if you stay on the ground floor.

Hotel Camino Maya
Hotel in the center of Copán Ruinas town, right next to the main square.
Hotel Camino Maya in Copán Ruinas pueblo
The rooms are large, clean and have all the necessary services.
It includes free quality Wi-Fi and breakfast in its restaurant, although this is quite poor and of poor quality, as is the à la carte restaurant service.
They have a coffee maker in the room but no filter, so it is impossible to make coffee.

Nery's House
Hotel in La Ceiba, on the beachfront. They have beautiful facilities, with a terrace overlooking the sea and a garden and a pool that together with the rest of the facilities make this a unique accommodation.
Terrace of La Casa de Nery
The rooms are huge, with two double beds, private bathroom and all the services available. The bathroom is very tastefully decorated, with rain shower and skylight.
Breakfast is included in the price of the room, it is very high quality and also very complete.
They have wifi in all the facilities of the establishment, with a very good signal.
They do not have restaurant service but in our case it rained and they asked for food from a restaurant next door, giving us an unbeatable service.
We ordered taxi service from Hedman Alas station to the hotel and then from the hotel to the pick-up point to go to Cayos Cochinos and the hotel owner took us at no additional charge, something that demonstrates the quality not only of the facilities, but also of the services they offer.
Definitely an accommodation of 10 in La Ceiba.

We leave a full explanation in the days of the travel journal that we were in Cayos Cochinos, especially in which we talked about our experience in Turtle Bay accommodation in Cayos Cochinos.
