Villas Pico Bonito is a gem. We stayed here for a week in spring 2025 and highly recommend it to anyone who travels to this part of Honduras. We knew the area from trips to the Rio Cangrejal in the 1990s when we chased whitewater everywhere we could. So we knew to expect a superb rainforest nature experience, hiking, mountain biking, and all that. (We’ve aged out of whitewater kayaking). We didn’t expect such a great resort. Richard put together a magical place here. Paths made of smooth river rock and concrete wind through trees and flowers; a creek tumbles over waterfalls, into pools, and over more waterfalls made of the same river rock. It feels like an English garden with rainforest flora. The resort has guides who can take you on all sorts of trips — hikes through the rainforest, paddling in coastal lagoons, whitewater rafting, mountain biking and more. But we’d recommend setting some time aside for just strolling around. There are trails on the hillside downstream of the cabanas that wind through the forest, and get you up high enough to look into the canopy of the trees around your cabana. There are benches throughout the network of trails where you can just sit and enjoy the atmosphere. There is even a trail of the resort’s across the road and up the hill. We wish we spent more time just soaking in the magic of the rainforest. The food is excellent and priced fairly. We got in the habit of stopping by the kitchen mid-afternoon, ordering our dinner and reserving a time, and then sitting down just as the food came out of the kitchen. The cabanas have kitchens and refrigerators — and, of course, porches looking out over the river and the Pico Bonito national park. We felt safe the entire time we were here, by the way. We came from Utila Island on the ferry and a driver from the resort picked us up, stopped at a supermarket so we could buy food, and took us to the resort. The resort itself has locked gates, but we found nothing but friendly people when we went mountain biking up the river road one day.

Villas Pico Bonito has stunning views, lush landscaping, and immersive access to nature. Our two-bedroom casita had a kitchen plus a private balcony overlooking the river and El Bejuco waterfall. Lovely garden paths surrounded by tropical flowers lead to a magical thatched-roof restaurant with busy hummingbird feeders. The staff came to our door to take our dinner orders, once during a downpour. A friendly German Shepherd often led the way along the trails. Awesome private rafting and waterfall hiking guide made our stay fun and exciting.

My husband and I stayed in the El Bejuco suite for three nights in March. The grounds were lovely and well-maintained, just like the infinity pool and restaurant. The suite was spacious and offered a stunning view of the waterfall from the porch. The owner and his staff were attentive and helpful; I couldn't have asked for better service! Overall, it was a fantastic place, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
