The Lodge is in probably the most beautiful location I have ever stayed. Set on the edge of this magnificent jungle setting, the wooden buildings complement its surroundings. Comfortable if slightly dated single and duplex cabins meld into the hillside. Separate but equally integrated into the lush surroundings are the spa and pool area, what a way to relax. My wife came for the birds and was not disappointed, hummingbirds (8 different types), toucans, motmots, all abound. Birding towers, butterfly enclosure, marked trails, and tumbling river rapids all show nature at its best. The food was the a real surprise! Varied, excellently prepared and delicious. Service was impeccable, friendly, and informative. The core staff of Guillermo, Carlos, and Mario all have been there for years and made our stay personal, many thanks. If you love nature the Lodge should rank highly on your bucket list.

“Fun jungle experience.”

We spent about a week on Roatan and then took the Galaxy Wave ferry from Roatan to La Ceiba. We had arranged ahead of time for the Lodge at Pico Bonito to send a driver to pick us up at the ferry port, which they did. There was a driver waiting there with a sign with our name on it, which was awe… lisää

We spent about a week on Roatan and then took the Galaxy Wave ferry from Roatan to La Ceiba. We had arranged ahead of time for the Lodge at Pico Bonito to send a driver to pick us up at the ferry port, which they did. There was a driver waiting there with a sign with our name on it, which was awesome. The drive to the Lodge was uneventful and check-in was easy. A waiter from the restaurant met us at the front desk and we made dinner reservations and put our order in for dinner. The Lodge is quite isolated (which is wonderful) but also makes it so you don't have many food options. Our dinners at the restaurant over the three days we were there were above average. Breakfast was included in our room and was quite good. While we were there, we signed up for a guide (which was free) to take us to the little butterfly pavilion and the serpentarium on the property, which was fun. The same guide also took us on a hike. The Lodge is situated between two rivers and there are hiking trails that take you into the Pico Bonito National Park where you can hike and view the waterfalls and play in the river. We had two little casitas which were a little rustic but cute. We did have the power go out one night and it wasn't restored until late the next day. Our little hut was quite warm to sleep in without any AC for the night the power was off. The pool was really lovely and three of us had massages at the Spa, which were also lovely. We enjoyed the gift shop with its selection of pottery made by locals and purchased a few pieces to take home. Bring bug spray. There are no TVs in the room, of course, but the main lodge has a little tv and a fun game room.

“Another very nice stay here again”

We came back in January 2022 after staying in 2017. The ravages of Covid were apparent and is the only reason I couldn't give and excellent rating.

We came back in January 2022 after staying in 2017. The ravages of Covid were apparent and is the only reason I couldn't give and excellent rating. On one night we were the only guests in the 22 cabin lodge. To keep going amidst Covid, staffing understandably was cut back and some of the wow features we experience on our last visit were not available. This was shown in the more limited meals and drinks offered. The fantastic location amidst an old cocao plantation and the superb birds sighted here were still amazing. Our guide Elmer was extremely knowledgeable and could name the species of every bird from it's song and could miraculously pick it out for us to view in his scope. The pool and spa for massages are still wonderful. And I trust that the Lodge will in time return to its former glory.
