Spotlight Guatemala – Ram Tzul Reserve & Hotel in Coban

X

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

If you are planning to travel to Guatemala, make sure you stop by Ram Tzul. It is a wonderful place close to the Biotopo del Quetzal, a major touristic attraction on the way to Coban, Alta Verapaz. This is a beautiful hotel which consists of a series of cottages made out of stone and bamboo. The cottages have great views of the reserve. A reserve you said? Yes, the hotel is settled in a 150 hectare reserve of primary vegetation. This of course implies that they offer some great outdoor activities.

The hotel is a very cozy place where the service is super friendly and the food is very good. When you go there make sure you try Kak Kik, a local delicacy.

Here’s what people have to say about them and if you don’t believe them, I dare you to try it!

Just tell any bus to stop at Ram Tzul and they drop you off right at the entrance to the main building, which houses the restaurant. It is built out of bamboo and is claimed to be the largest bamboo construction in Central America.

I stayed here for 3 nights and had the best time ever! It is incredible! The food is excellent, not your average fare. The owner and manager, Gerardo, is very knowledgeable.

The hotel consists of several cabins that are also built out of bamboo and natural stone. My cabin had a nice view out on the forest.

The hotel offers trips through their eco-reserve, either on foot or on horseback. I hiked to a beautiful waterfall and swam there.

The whole place was a wonderful retreat in the Guatemalan cloud forest but with all the amenities of a well-run hotel.
I will be back!

And

On a family weekend we stayed for one night in this hotel. The rooms are simple but cosy and comfortable, the panorama windows allow for great views of the beautiful mountain scenery, and the open fireplace was great to spend the evening talking and having a couple of drinks.

Food at the restaurant was OK, my wife enjoyed the local speciality Kak Kik (a turkey broth). Waiter Angel was especially nice and friendly.

We made the hike to the waterfall, which was a good experience.
