José M Fernández Bargues Tuesday, April 3rd 2012 - 01:44:55 PM jose@barguesbros.eu Un sitio lamentable. Llegar ya es una aventura, para encontrarse unas habitaciones sin las más mínimas comodidades. Apenas luz, ahumadas, sin armario ni sitio donde dejar la ropa. Sin opciones en las comidas ni otro sitio donde ir a comer. Repito, es un campamento lamentable, ni siquiera podría llamarse hotel y lo de Hacienda ....

Kathryn Miller Tuesday, March 13th 2012 - 12:35:47 PM entertainangels@surewest.net Our travel group consisting of family members from USA, El Salvador and Nicaragua stayed at the Hacienda only one night. We went mid-November 2011. It was so relaxing! The rooms quite nice and the meals wonderful! I had the best French Toast for breakfast found on the planet. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

Perry Schwartz Wednesday, February 1st 2012 - 09:37:44 PM pschwartz@me.com My son, Michael, and I spent 3 fabulous days at Hacienda San Lucas. Michael, who was born in Honduras, wanted to visit his birth country and see Ruinas Copan. It was an extraordinary trip, made even more so by Flavia and her wonderful staff. I heartily recommend this delightful hacienda to anyone who would like to mix the old with the new and get a taste of the real Honduras. We hope to back!

Jill Edds Saturday, June 26th 2010 - 06:41:28 PM Jmpgmse@msn.com http:// First trip to Honduras, April/May 2010 Words cannot describe what a wonderful stay I had at Hacienda San Lucas! Although it was my first trip to Honduras, with Flavia's assistance, my trip was perfectly planned - I wouldn't have changed a thing! Thank you to everyone for your time, attention, and special touches.....the peanut butter sandwich and the banana for the trip home almost made me cry. Thanks again, and best wishes that others will find San Lucas, too!

Glyn Carré Tuesday, April 20th 2010 - 03:43:11 PM glyn.carre@cwgsy.net Flavia! Sorry it has taken me so long to sign your guest book - as you know I was out of contact for some time. I so enjoyed my Christmas (2009!) visit to Copan, it was perfect. I remember the peace and tranquility, the great food and sharing the wonderful company of your guests and family. Hacienda San Lucas and Los Sapos is very special to me, I felt a spiritual connection when I first visited in 2005. Honduras has been going through some politically challenging times and I do hope this does not stop people from visiting. I felt completely safe, both in Copan, the surrounding towns including the drive from San Pedro Sula.

Zach Horton Monday, July 27th 2009 - 07:26:17 PM t.z.horton@gmail.com Hacienda San Lucas is a marvelous place and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone. The food is positively brilliant, Zagat Five star quality, I would say. Not only that, but the location could be one of the most spectacular I have ever seen! To top this off, the people there are amazing. You will seldom meet as hospitable of people as I met there. Take, for example, Mrs. Cueva who, not only took great care of us while we stayed, but also offered us her cell phone number and email address to us such that we could contact her if we encountered any other problems during our stay elsewhere in Honduras! Characters like her are good reasons to return, not to mention the location and the food!

Jodi Crutchfield Monday, July 27th 2009 - 02:19:40 PM jodicrutchfield@gmail.com We are former residents of Copan, and we decided to have our wedding at the Haciende San Lucas, and we had such an amazing wedding. Most of our guests arrived from the US at San Pedro Sula and we organized transport to San Lucas from the airport (Jimmy ROCKS!). We had a very fun and delicious groom's dinner first down in the village at the Via Via (thanks Gerardo & Ana Maria) and then the next day, we went on the canopy tour on the lands of San Lucas. That afternoon, we had the most amazing wedding ceremony at the Gaia of Hacienda San Lucas. Aumrak the Mayan Shaman performed our ceremony and it was so beautiful. Kraig & I said our intents and then each of the guests came up and gave us a blessing. It was something I will remember my whole life. Then, we had a delicous authentic meal prepared by Flavia and her amazing troop of Honduran chefs. The food is so delicious but they will never give away their secrets of how it is prepared. The breakfasts are so perfect at Hacienda San Lucas. You sit in a group and they bring you bowls of freshly prepared Honduran plato typico: fresh fruit, gourmet black beans, hand rolled tortillas, guajada, and eggs prepared your way. I miss those breakfasts! I loved having our wedding here, because I had to worry about nothing once the guests had arrived. Even, I hadn't thought about a bouquet, and then I mentioned it and moments later, I had the most beautiful bouquet of fresh cut flowers in my hands. It couldn't be planned better than just going to the place where anything is possible. Oh, and Flavia has things up her sleeves. A mariachi band, fire works. Watch out and even though its amazing, she will still surprise you!

Stacey Klinckwort Wednesday, July 1st 2009 - 12:50:18 PM sklinckwort@comcast.net We recently stayed at Hacienda San Lucas. It is such a beautiful and relaxing place. We enjoyed just sitting outside in the evenings with a glass of wine, watching the stars and fireflies, listening to the sounds of nature, and engaging in interesting conversation. It is a true escape from the fast-paced lifestyle we live. One highlight of the trip was the delicious food that is prepared there. Everything is super fresh, made from scratch,and with the utmost care, not to mention beautiful presentation. Take a few days to escape to this magical place, it will be an experience that you will not forget.

Heather Clapp Friday, March 6th 2009 - 01:56:51 AM heathduff@gmail.com Dear Flavia, Two months from now my husband and I will celebrate our first anniversary, and it has me feeling sentimental about the great peace we felt while visiting Hacienda San Lucas for three short days on our honeymoon last June. I knew it was special while we were there but I'm amazed by how my thoughts keep drifting back. Something about the walls, the floor, the post and beam porches is so unlike anything here in Sacramento that it's actually sent me on a quest to figure out what exactly was so entrancing in it's simplicity. Here, the dwellings are made out of latex paint, particle board, manufactured tile, linoleum and an obsession with perfect right angles. Everything is so perfectly square, sterile, and out of context and it irritates me in a way it never used to before being a guest in a building built and finished by hand. It is our own goal now, to build our house by hand. I'm learning forgotten old world techniques for building, masonry and plastering and I'm baffled that it never used to occur to me that the materials needed to build a HOME and not just a "house" are underfoot and close by. When we reach our goal and settle into our small hand built cottage, I'll credit you as the catylist and inspiration. You inspired our search for the true meaning of HOME. OK three cocktails down and I'm all mushy, but really, thanks for the stay and we hope to return. Sincerely, Heather and Corey Clapp

Heri Tryba Sunday, February 22nd 2009 - 07:02:02 PM wellandbeyond@monad.net Besides all the beauty, friendliness, superb food, and the enchanting spirit of Hacienda San Lucas: it was also remarkable to come across a spot in Latin America that is run only by women. I hope that San Lucas can serve as a model and inspiriation for the development of tourism in Honduras. What makes you want to stay for a long time at San Lucas is the tasteful, intimate setting, and the heartfelt attention and presence of the staff who seems happy to be able to work there. The lack of air conditioning, TV or luxury amenities makes the hacienda not less, but more appealing. The unique quality of the place and the warm care of its people will stay in my memory for a long time. I feel deeply grateful and priviledged for my wonderful, regenerative experience there.

Talayeh Rezayat Monday, July 7th 2008 - 09:53:27 PM talayehr@gmail.com No words will do justice to describe my experience at the hacienda. I would say it was my impression of how heaven would be like. The meals are impossible to beat and the hospitality is second to none! Flavia is the sweetest person I have ever met. She really took care of us. If I ever go back to Copan, and i plan on doing so, I will only stay with Flavia at the Hacienda. Thank you Flavia for such a wonderful time. You are the best!

Joe Fowler Saturday, June 28th 2008 - 07:23:13 PM ardmoor8@comcast.net My wife and I have been traveling throughout Mexico and Central America for more than 25 years and have never stayed at any hotel, bed and breakfast or eco-lodge that compares to Hacienda San Lucas. Everything about San Lucas - Flavia and the staff, the accommodations, food and services, transportation arrangements to the Copan site, coffee fincas, Macaw Mountain, Quirigua, etc. - was outstanding. It was really an "magical" week for us - one we'll never forget. Flavia, Argi, Wendy and the rest of the wonderful staff treated us like family, and did so many "little extras" for us that we felt as though we were the center of attention during the entire week!!! We're already planning our next trip to San Lucas.

Bonnie Friday, June 27th 2008 - 02:56:27 PM bonniemcland@hotmail.com I am a little over 2 years late in this posting , but can say that I have thought often and happily of the week spent at La Hacienda, traveling with two other adults and about 18 students. Dona Flavia was an angel, the staff helpful and kind, the meals and the rooms incredible beyond our wildest dreams - especially in the candle light, and our little explorations of Copan & the Ruinas, La Pintada, and the surrounding area was life changing in many subtle but abiding ways. It would be a dream to return.

murray brown and family Monday, March 3rd 2008 - 06:33:10 PM casadeluna@xtra.co.nz Kia Ora ! How lucky we are to have visited this timeless place.My wife Karen and my two children Ukiah15 years and Modeena 12 years travelled overland from the wonderful Antigua in Guatemala to San Lucas in July 2007, having visited Tikal days before . The vision Flavia had for sharing the beauty and special nature of San Lucas with free thinking folk from around the planet , is borne out by the feeling it instills and that remains with you long after you have re entered your regular world . San Lucas merges with it's natural environment and evokes the Eco ethos without commercial baggage ,the staff are real ,and at one with the other indigenous peoples who live in the surrounding area and delight in the presence of visitors from far away . Lush verdent vistas ,indigenous food , superb natural history,activities at your own leisure , this should not be a once in a lifetime destination . Thank You Flavia and everyone @ Hacienda San Lucas . Murray

Cynthia Seybolt Friday, February 22nd 2008 - 12:38:55 PM cynthiavt@gmail.com Dear Flavia, Thanks you so much for providing Peter and me with a really magical three nights! We loved the Hacienda, from our candlelit room to the superb food, beautiful flowers, lovingly and tastefully restored building and grounds. It was a great pleasure to meet you and to hear the history of the Hacienda. We keep thinking of the wonderful opportunities you have provided for many of the local people, and how much they have learned from you. What a gift you have given! We loved watching your staff grinding corn, making tamales, etc., and were very impressed with the excellent service they provided (and especially with all Argi's warmth and care). We hope to have an opportunity to visit again. Best wishes, Cynthia Seybolt Underhill Center, Vermont, USA

Egil Pettersen Friday, January 25th 2008 - 09:35:01 AM egil@kaffe.no Greetings from Norway After a long car drive from Atitlan in Guatemala we arrived Hacienda San Lucas November 21st 2007 in the evening – and what a reception – warm welcome greetings and embraces from Falvia and some of her employees. This took place on the parking place with candles and a big full moon on a clear sky. What a fantastic place we had com to, candles and lanterns threw light around and gave a fairy-tale atmosphere we shall never forget. San Lucas encircled by dense vegetation lies on a hill over the centre of Coban and with a fantastic view – it is like a paradise! Cosy rooms – hearty and nice people – nice food and drink, but a much too short stay. This place we just have to return to. Thanks from: Eva, Nils, Bjorg, Gustav, Jan, Toril, Jan, Inger Marie and Egil

Susan Jensen Wednesday, January 23rd 2008 - 10:43:26 AM yogaonroatan@yahoo.com http://www.yogaonroatan.com I recently visited Hacienda San Lucas with a group of girlfriends for a restorative weekend. This was an experience that will forever remain in our hearts. The energy and warmth we received was like a gift from God and it has changed all of us in many ways. We were especially blessed to have shared this experience with Aum Rak and Leah. The sacred fire ceremony, guided meditations and readings we enjoyed were spiritually enlightening and very special. Our yoga classes at Gaia, overlooking the beautiful Copan valley, can not be compared to anything in this world!! Thank you to you all, you are all so special and I look forward to returning 'home' to spend more time with you. Blessings, Susan

Catriona Rust Thursday, December 20th 2007 - 11:24:15 AM catriona_rust@tiscali.co.uk We spent a wonderful evening in June at Hacienda San Lucas. What an amazing place! And Flavia, when you met us off the bus from San Pedro, it was like meeting an old friend. We felt so welcomed and 'at home'. Hacienda San Lucas has been a labour of love and your passion for the place shows through in every detail from the rooms to the presentation of the food. You made a French man very happy with the food, wine and ambience you have created!! We have travelled a lot throughout the world and Hacienda San Lucas has got to be one of the most special places we have had the opportunity to visit. We wish you well in the future with the plans for expansion, and hope to be able to return to Honduras and to San Lucas to spend more time there. We would highly recommend Hacienda San Lucas to fellow travellers who like comfort and luxury, but within a natural setting and which takes you back to the roots and history of the Copan region. Kind Regards and Thanks again. Catriona Rust (UK) and Jean-Marc DeJean (France)

Sadhana Shrestha from Nepal Tuesday, October 2nd 2007 - 01:37:08 AM sadhanaz@yahoo.com The evening at Hacienda San Lucas has been one of the most inspiring, spiritual and energising visits ever.I went to San Lucas with my friend Natasha which made it even more special.The quaint tuk -tuk ride from Copan, the warm welcome by Flavia, the spectacular view from Gaia ,the traditional , rustic but warm Hacienda took my breath away. The 5 course meal we had was so authentic that bthe taste still lingers. But best of course was the affection and warmth of Flavia, a 60 year old woman , with the energy of a 20 year old and a heart of gold. Thanks Flavia and Natasha for this wonderful experience!!

Valerie Ryan MD Monday, October 1st 2007 - 07:54:14 AM valerieannryan@hotmail.com what a wonderful experience at the Hacienda San Lucas. We loved our room, candle lit and hammocks outside the door for relaxation. The breakfast of handmade tortillas, black beans and scrambled eggs with chilies was the best ever and we are still talking about it!!! The magical ruins called Los Sapos were only a short walk from the Hacienda and we were accompanied by Poli, the owner's yellow lab who kept us company. We walked a little further and came upon the Mayan village of La Pintada. What an experience....the little children all came out to see us and try and sell their cornhusk dolls. It was touching. Overall a great place! Can't wait to go back!

Michael & Frances Donnelly Monday, September 10th 2007 - 03:01:47 PM caolte@hotmail.com This morning I asked my wife what her favorite thing was about our recent visit to the Hacienda San Lucas. She thought about it for quite a while before admitting she couldn't decide. Being of like mind, I decided to make a list of some (not all, the list would be too long) of the things that make this place so remarkable, in order to clarify our thinking. Was it... Our room, large, flagstone floored, cedar beamed, lavishly illuminated with candles. The view from our veranda across the Copan Valley, distant mountaintops dissolving in misty cloud banks only to be fitfully illuminated by flashes of lightning. The accomodating and professional staff, unobtrusive yet always there when needed. I won't soon forget stepping out of a tuk-tuk after returning to the hacienda in a late night thunderstorm and having a staff member appear instantly out of the pouring rain with an umbrella. How did he even know we were there? Being greeted upon arrival by Dona Flavia who invites you to come down to the main house after settling in for a drink and to meet the other guests, followed by dinner. It was as though we were all guests at a country house weekend. The peacefulness and remoteness of the hacienda which, along with all the other features, makes this place a unique experience. Since Frances and I still can't decide what we like best about the Hacienda San Lucas, a return visit will obviously be necesary to resolve the issue.

John Fernekees Thursday, August 9th 2007 - 08:03:20 AM jfern_32@hotmail.com What a truly awe inspiring place. The welcoming atmosphere and stunning views made for a perfect start to our trip. My only regret was that we were not able to stay longer due to our itinerary. The sense of history was almost overwhelming as we sat in the meditation area watching the sun set beyond the hills of Copan Ruinas. Thank you so much for having us Flavia, it is our mission to make it back there at some point.
