Lonely Planet review for Hacienda El Jaral
The large, rather cheesy Hacienda El Jaral resort-hotel-waterpark-museum-foodcourt-minimall-movie theater (did we miss anything?)is a budget version of Disneyland. The water park has several high tubular slides that wind down to a somewhat dated pool, while the movie theater has one screen showing Hollywood flicks. Both are the only ones of their kind near Copán Ruínas, and the best reason to make the trip (and then only if you are really jonesing for some soft-serve diversion).
The much-hyped Museo de la Vaca, Museum of the Cow, is a glorified gift shop, while the hotel is way overpriced.

Wonderful experience!

Don't understand the lonely planet review. My husband and I stayed one night here on 12/22/08 (wish it could have been longer!) and found a beautiful room, exquisite surroundings and the best meal of our entire 10 day stay in Honduras. The staff was polite, friendly and extremely helpful. We didn't find $55.00 for a comfortable bed, refrigerator, large shower with lots of hot water, gorgeous views, peace, privacy and an absolutely delicious breakfast (did I mention it was the best meal of our trip?!) to be overpriced. We will be returning to Honduras next year with friends and will definitely be introducing them to this lovely hotel. Can't wait!
