Each one of us pitches in to make our guests comfortable and provide for a unique experience. We are fortunate in the fact that our bed and breakfast is in a unique spot.

The Best Rated Hotel in La Ceiba:

Hotel rating systems can be deceiving. In Honduras, for example, the last time that an official hotel rating process took place was during the government of President Ricardo Maduro, which was about 12 years ago. During that time, many new hotels have opened their doors and many of the top rated hotels have been seriously lacking in maintenance due to the drop of tourists visiting Honduras after the wrongly called coup that ousted then President Zelaya.

 

Taking this into consideration, the effort, which only included 5 hotels in La Ceiba is completely useless at this time. A lot has happened in these short 12 years, and social media, travel communities such as tripadvisor, and OTA’s such as Booking.com have each established a system with reviews that encourages the traveler to rate hotels and tourism services and share his experience with the community. These new tools are now the best way to determine which is the top rated hotel in La Ceiba.

Based on Tripadvisor, the best rated hotel in La Ceiba in the bed and breakfast category for 2016 is La Villa de Soledad B&B. With over 100 reviews, La Villa de Soledad has an astonishing 98 rated as excellent and 2 as very good.

Best rated Bed and Breakfast in Honduras

Another good source for rating of properties are the online travel agencies, such as booking.com. They have the added benefit of being able to insure that all comments are legit, by allowing only those clients who purchased a room through them to make comments and rate a property. The best rated hotel in La Ceiba on booking.com is La Villa de Soledad once again, with an impressive rating of 9.9. So if you are looking for the best rated hotel in La Ceiba, you should certainly consider staying with us at La Villa de Soledad B&B, a family run bed and breakfast located in a lovely eco friendly setting right on the Cangrejal River, just minutes from downtown La Ceiba and within walking distance of a variety of different and nature and adventure activities that will knock your socks off!

The list, which is based on the reviews that different guests have posted in the trip advisor web page concerning their travel experience, is generally considered the most trustworthy source to outstanding travel adventures. Let’s face it, you are reading what other travelers have actually experienced, not what the owners or managers are telling you about their property, which is always biased!

A long time dream has come true for the three white water outfitters that provide white water rafting services in the Cangrejal River: Their local guides have finally received all the necessary courses and have passed the different exams with flying colors. The result:  The International Rafting Federation issues guide certification cards to Cangrejal River guides!

La Ceiba Hub for the Bay Islands of Honduras

This milestone has been achieved thanks to the effort of the Chamber of Tourism of La Ceiba and funding from the IDB bank who is promoting a sustainable tourism destination in Atlantida. After several different courses, including first aid and swift water rescue, the International Rafting Federation sent a group of Costa Rican instructors who found that the Cangrejal River was a truly astonishing place offering world class white water rafting.

This milestone that is achieved when the International Rafting Federation issues guide certification cards to the Cangrejal River guides, insures that the quality of the service provided by the three different tour operators that offer rafting service is now up to par with international standards.

The Cangrejal River offers a unique setting with crystal clear water flowing down the magnificent Nombre de Dios Mountains, home to both Pico Bonito National Park and Nombre de Dios National Park. The river, which is loitered with huge, house sized boulders, offers a fun, technical class III + rapids in the regular commercial run. It’s easy access, only 45 minutes from downtown or the Bay Islands ferry terminal in La Ceiba makes it a must do trip for those that seek some adventure in a pristine nature environment.

There are several truly unique lodges and inns in the Cangrejal River area. Most outstanding is the award winning La Villa de Soledad B&B, who has been awarded both the Travelers Choice and the Certificate of Excellence awards by tripadvisor for both 2014 and 2015.

Come and stay in paradise and enjoy the best white water rafting in Honduras and possibly in Central America!

The first, and most prestigious tourism award in Honduras is the Copan Prize. This prize is given to businesses and entrepreneurs that have played a unique and significant role in the development of tourism over the years. The Copan Award consists of a small bronze sculpture mounted on a piece of white marble that resembles a Mayan “excentric” a unique archaeological piece thought to be a kind of scepter wielded only by the most powerful of kings. There are less than a dozen and a half Mayan excentrics that have been found by archaeologists, and most of them come from the Honduran site of Copan.

Award winning hotels in La Ceiba

In La Ceiba, only a handful of hotels and entrepreneurs have received this prize. Amongst them, the Lodge at Pico Bonito and the Palma Real Resort. The award was given to John Dupuis in 2007 for his outstanding work as editor and publisher of Honduras tips, and it can be seen proudly displayed at his unique bed and breakfast, La Villa de Soledad, located in the Cangrejal River Valley just outside of La Ceiba.

La Villa de Soledad in fact, is one of the most award winning hotels in La Ceiba, having received the 2014, and 2015 Travelers Choice Award by Tripadvisor, as well as the 2014 and 2015 Certificate of Excellence by the same company for its outstanding reviews by guests.

Above all, we must say that this award would have not been possible if our valued guests had not taken the time to share their holiday experience with the tripadvisor travel community by writing reviews about their experience at La Villa de Soledad. Being innkeepers in our small bed and breakfast has been a wonderful experience.  Meeting lovely, interesting travelers from around the world in their quest for a unique vacation in a relatively remote part of our planet has to be one of outstanding, fun and fulfilling experiences we have had.

The fact that our property has a unique location, on the banks of the Cangrejal River, within Nombre de Dios National Park and facing Pico Bonito National Park has helped put us on the map. The hard work and friendly hospitality has also played an important role in our success. But there is no doubt that the fact that our guests are educated adventurers, looking for a unique destination, and willing to go against the bad press and misleading travel warnings that many nations have put up against Honduras that has really helped us getting on the map.

Our guests have found that Honduras is nation of friendly, hospitable people. Travel destinations, such as the Cangrejal River Valley, located within the destination of Atlantida are extremely safe, and our travelers revel in the safety of our community and the many different activities that are available for their enjoyment.

Our commitment to past and future guests, is that we will continue to work hard and having a unique inn where you can have an unforgettable vacation, that will become a memory that you will cherish for a lifetime!  We plan to work hard to get the tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence award next year again, as well as the Tripadvisor travelers choice award that was issued to La Villa de Soledad in 2014 and again 2015. For those adventure travelers that have already been our guests, our most sincere thanks, to those considering visiting us, be aware that we will be honored to have you as our guests!
