Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Rio Cangrejal at Villas Pico Bonito. The property is absolutely stunning, right next to the river surrounded by palm and flowering trees. The infinity pool is gorgeous and refreshing. The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. I will definitely be back.

This place is Spectacular!
Villas Pico Bonito is one of the most beautiful locations we have visited. The villas are gorgeous and well appointed. The surroundings absolutely spectacular. We were greeted at the ferry in La Ceiba and driven to the property. We took a guided jungle hike up the mountain of Pico Bonito National Park with Ozny, who was a wealth of information. The hike was hard work but doable by us, a couple 60yr olds. We also went white water rafting with our guide, Pablo, whose experience and knowledge made it a fun and stress free couple hours. The food and service in the bar/restaurant was top notch. It was a comfortable place to chat with other guests and enjoy the surroundings. We would like to thank Richard, our host, for his warmth and professionalism. I HIGHLY recommend visiting this amazing location.

My new favorite place
Our family stay December 16 through December 19. We stayed one night in La Casita and two nights and Tucano. Both rooms were nice but we love Tucano because we had the Riverview. We hiked Pico Bonito trail with Richards German shepherds, and just chilled by the pool and the river for the rest of this stay. The food and drinks were delicious! It is definitely A relaxing, beautiful spot! Our family fell in love with the two German shepherds Ace and Lexi, Prosecco the cat, and the turtles. Thank you Richard for being so welcoming. We will be back!

Tried my best for you Alfredo. Did not know you were a group of 4 who required individual rooms as you booked for 2 in a home that had only one bedroom. We were full and could not instantly offer you an alternative. However when we could move you I think you and your friends enjoyed the beautiful Tucano Villa. We will try to do better in the future.

It's a wonderful establishment with fantastic, helpful employees. The road in is what you'd expect for a rural road in Honduras. If you're up to driving it or use their airport service or a taxi then it's an amazing gem that shouldn't be missed! Kudos to Richard who had the vision to create it and to his wonderful employees.

My family and I greatly enjoyed Villas at Pico Bonito. We stayed in the "el Bejuco" villa for four nights, which we found very comfortable for three people (although our 11-year old son has pretty much outgrown a sofa bed, and by this time next year we would need a two-bed villa). The grounds are lovely and well maintained. The pool is one of the better ones we have encountered and is especially welcome after a morning hike to the el Bejuco waterfall! The owner's two German shepherds, Lexie and Ace, became part of OUR family while we were there, accompanying us on our hike to el Bejuco. We ate many of our meals at the Lodge, although we also used the facilities in our villa to prepare our own meals. We found the food very good, although sometimes the approach to service (particularly at breakfast) was a bit of a mystery. One tip - you need to pre-order your breakfast the night before. If you arrive late in the day, remember to do this!) Fresh natural juices would have been preferred over juice mixes, both at breakfast and at the bar. The kitchen equipment provided in our villa was adequate but not extensive - no wine glasses for example - but the staff was very accommodating and did their best to respond to any request (including a request for wine glasses.) Richard, the owner, is extremely amenable, and happy to assist with your day's plans. In my personal view you will need to work hard to find bad things to say about this place.

Hard to leave this lovely spot!
Two couples stayed in the spacious, beautifully constructed Ceiba Tree house overlooking the pool area and river. Two good king beds in each bedroom, with fans and mosquito nets (no window screens) and 2 bathrooms. We had little trouble with bugs in March and were never too hot. The river and pool were perfect temps to lay around in. Loved the huge wooden bar and kitchen in the house, surrounded by beautiful jungle. Many flowers and birds. Good food and drink at the restaurant had to be ordered early, as they closed up around 6:30 and it is pricey and inconvenient to taxi to town, 25 minutes away. The friendly owner drove us to La Ceiba one day for supplies, as we did not have a car. Safe, clean, well-managed, welcoming, and quiet, this place is amazing! We also did a fun guided river tubing excursion, as the river was low for rafting - recommended! Hope to come again, we LOVED this place and our first trip to Honduras!!

Hi Alex, Glad you found the Villas to be OK. I was not aware we had meals that cost $20, with the exception of our 12 oz Prime USDA ribeye steaks. All the rest of our meals are in the $10 to $12 range. Plus tax of course Yes if you have not been here before and do not know the road it can be a learning experience. However you arrived safely having driven carefully and lived to tell the tale. Butin the morning when you see that spectacular view having had a comfy night sleeping to the sound of the river, well that made it all worth while!

The staff we’re just okay, I don’t why is a sing to use the Pool and say in Spanish not English that adults have to pay Lp300 and Lp100 the kids, if I’m paying hotel room the Pool have to be free so I did a reservation for 2 nights, but I left the first night. The room was dusty with a lot spiders nets and the smell was like they never opened the windows.

A paradise in the middle of the jungle
This place is definitely a paradise, you have access to wonderful views, located in the middle of the jungle, access to the local beaches is 15 minutes away. The only thing that I had not read in any review is that there is no phone signal close to the hotel, and you only have wifi if you are the bar. In the room we rented, the bathroom was downstairs, that means if you want to use it at night you have to go outside to get there, this could be a little uncomfortable if it is raining.

Hi Karla thanks for the review. Yes the Colibri is our most out of the way basic home and as such is outside the WiFi area. All other homes have wifi except the Casita. Yes the bathroom is out and down. These small inconveniences are somewhat covered by the very low price per night. Thanks again for visiting our hidden paradise. Next trip my recommendation is to try the Bejuco, it is on the river close to pool and restaurant and has WiFi.

Yes we are an in amazing location. However we are not a hotel. We are a vacation rental resort, we rent homes. On arrival we make it clear in our welcome message that we will clean the rooms and change the sheets when requested. Other than that we totally respect your privacy. I am sorry you did not understand that and on your next trip you can rest assured we have made a note and will attempt to make you happy by cleaning your Lodge when ever you feel it is necessary. However you must request that service. That being said yes the Villas is a magical place with over 250 5 star reviews on another travel site so we are doing something very right.

Hi Mario, we are very sorry your visit did not meet your expectations. I think perhaps you would rather have made a reservation in a hotel down town. Yes we are in a rural and very safe area, the Cangrejal River Valley, renowned as one of the most beautiful places in Honduras and maybe the world. Yes we are in an area that is 4 miles out of town along a winding country road along the river and it can be a little challenging by night if you have never been here before. Most people who come to our vacation rental resort are renting our homes and some even bring their own food. Those who do not are welcome to eat in our restaurant. Our prices are more than reasonable and the food gets good reviews. I know you had a terrible time with your driver who had no idea where we were located and after several phone calls he still took you to the wrong place. So after a journey of 5 hours instead of 3 you arrived late and after the restaurant had closed. It is true we do not have cell service but we do have good wifi that both you and your Mother took advantage of to contact your friends. There is a TV in our restaurant if you feel like you need one but most come here to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of our Hidden Paradise in the Jungle. Safe travels in the future.

Gracias por visitar Villas Pico Bonito. Me alegro de que te gustaba nuestro pequeño paraíso escondido. El camino es de 4,5 millas y no está pavimentado. Se tarda 20 minutos de conducción cuidadosa llegar desde el centro de La Ceiba. Para nuestros nuevos clientes. No se recomienda una estancia de una noche en que conduce hasta tarde y salir temprano. Si usted puede llegar tarde y salir al día siguiente a la hora del almuerzo. Entonces yo creo que usted disfrutará de su estancia más. Para una estancia de una noche rápida, entonces puede ser más feliz más cerca del centro de La Ceiba Thanks for visiting Villas Pico Bonito. Glad you liked our little hidden paradise. The road is 4.5 miles and is not paved. It takes 20 minutes of careful driving to get here from La Ceiba downtown. To our new guests. We do not recommend a one night stay where you drive up late and leave early. If you can get here early afternoon and leave next day at lunch time. Then I think you you will enjoy your stay more. For a quick one night stay then you may be happier closer to downtown La Ceiba
