I recently had a young couple visiting us at La Villa de Soledad B&B. Together they are a great team and have a vlog promoting Honduras. Daniel is from Honduras, but has lived in the United States for several years. Danielle is from the US and has an Italian Heritage. I invited them over to discover all the things that you can do in the Cangrejal River Valley. Daniel grew up in La Ceiba, and thought he knew that Cangrejal River Valley well. Wow, was he in for a surprise!

We coordinated picking him up in Indura, the luxury golf resort in Tela. what a surprise when they walked into La Villa de Soledad. The spacious areas blend into the outdoors almost seamlessly. Comfy rooms have a great cross ventilation and direct access to a porch. You even have your own personal hammock! But they were more impressed with the high speed internet in the middle of the jungle! Yes, La Villa de Soledad has outstanding high speed internet provided via a fiber optic cable!

A Two Day Itinerary for the Perfect Cangrejal River Adventures: Day One

After giving them a glass of passion fruit juice, we sat down and discussed their itinerary for the next two days. Day one had a white water rafting trip arranged with Omega Tours. The tour is a half day adventure that would start in the morning and end with a lunch at their facilities, just up the road from La Villa de Soledad. The white waters of the Cangrejal River provided some outstanding class III and IV rapids. Best of all, they made friends with a couple from South Africa that was staying at the Omega Tours Lodge.

After Lunch, I would pick them up and give them a transfer three kilometers down the road to Las Cascadas Lodge. There, they would hike up into the forests of Nombre de Dios National Park. The goal was to reach the top of some beautiful waterfalls and then descend by rappelling down the face of the falls. This is Canyoning at its best. Certainly the best place in Honduras, probably in all Central America, for this exciting adventure!

A Much Needed Rest For Another Adventure!

Needless to say, they were exhausted by the end of the day. What an adventure filled day. World Class white water rafting in the morning. Then exploring the tropical rainforest and finding some lovely waterfalls and descend down to the crystal clear pools at the bottom! By the end of the day, some celebrating was in order. So they headed out to the lovely La Jungla Bar to regroup with their new friends from South Africa. After some good times and a couple of cocktails they were ready for a good night sleep at La Villa de Soledad.

It’s hard to describe the peaceful nights at the Villa. The murmur of the water racing down the Cangrejal River towards the Caribbean lulls you to sleep. The usual cool breeze blowing down the valley keeps you nice and cool. You will want to cover up under the cotton sheets, and might even ask for a blanket on some cooler nights. Just before dawn, the sounds of the jungle will let you know it will soon be time to get up and ready for a new adventure. If you are into birding, this will signal the time to get up and out to see all the birds!

A Two Day Itinerary for the Perfect Cangrejal River Adventures: Day Two

For the second day, we had scheduled a hike into Pico Bonito National Park. The lovely El Bejuco Waterfall is at the end of a jungle trail. Watching the fall from the bottom is unbelievable. Daniel was astounded that as a local, he had never visited these stunning falls he had often seen from the road. Access is through an “Indiana Jones” style suspension bridge that spans over 400 feet high across the Cangrejal River. The views from the bridge are outstanding and worth the effort. From the bridge, a 1 ½ hour hike will bring you to the foot of the waterfall. I invite you so take a look at the video that Daniel and Danielle put together to admire the sheer beauty of El Bejuco Waterfall.

If you are looking for a site for adventures in nature, you will be hard pressed to find a better site than the Cangrejal River Valley. You will find that La Villa de Soledad is the ideal lodge for such an adventure. It is within walking distance to all these adventure activities. You will also enjoy our inviting hammocks with the company of a refreshing cocktail to help you relax in nature after a unique day of adventures. This is one experience you will cherish for a lifetime. It will be one of the highlights of your trip to Central America. Best of all, it is an affordable experience in one of the safest areas in Honduras.

One of the pleasures of traveling is trying new foods and different ways of preparing tradional meals. Everyone has his preferences when it comes to food. Thus it is difficult to determine where you can find the best food in La Ceiba. There are several restaurants in La Ceiba that offer outstanding food. But where can you find the best food in La Ceiba?

La Villa de Soledad is a bed and breakfast, not a restaurant. Our isolated location on the Cangrejal River Valley makes it hard to find nearby restaurants. Because of this, we do offer our guests lunch and dinner when they wish to eat while spending the night with us. If you go by the reviews that guests put up on travel sites such as tripadvisor, you would think we are a restaurant! Guests who stay and have a meal with us rave about the food we serve.

Soledad, my wife and fellow innkeeper and wife is not a chef. She has never studied at a culinary school. For that matter, she has never taken cooking courses! Yet she has a natural knack when it comes to preparing food. I compare it to singing, you can either carry a tune or you can’t. I can’t carry one for anyone’s business! But Soledad can sure cook a meal! She has a passion for it. She also enjoys experimenting. If she is watching TV, she usually is seeing one of the cooking programs that air on TV. She considers it a good way to get fresh ideas for her meals.

Soledad did work for several years at the restaurant in the Hotel Marina Copan, in Copan Ruinas. There she was a waitress, and as such she would be in and out of the kitchen during the day. There she learned many tricks that she puts to use when cooking a meal for our guests. She also loves to go out to eat to different restaurants. Soledad enjoys trying different dishes, and likes to guess what the ingredients are in her meal. She will ask, although not everybody shares their secrets.

Without doubt, one of the places where you can find the best food in La Ceiba is at La Villa de Soledad! The one drawback, is that we do not have a restaurant that is open to the public! If you wish to try Soledad’s outstanding meals, you will have to spend at least a night at La Villa de Soledad B&B.

If you do visit us to spend the night, you will be glad you did. Our setting is awesome! Our lovely view over the Cangrejal River to Pico Bonito National Park is yours to enjoy. You will be lulled to sleep by the fast waters of the Cangrejal River. Morning will greet you with a natural symphony of birds celebrating a new day. Your cozy room opens out to our gardens, were you can relax in your own personal hammock and see the day break!

But getting back to the best food in La Ceiba, you will find that Soledad will not offer you a printed menu. She will give you a couple of options to choose for each meal. A meal will cost you between 13 and 16 dollars. It can be a bit more expensive depending on what she offers you. She only prepares food for our guests, so take advantage of this unique privilege! A good time to visit La Villa de Soledad is during our low season. Rates are 30% off high season rates, making it a bargain at only $70 dollars per room in a double occupancy. This includes breakfast and taxes! That is only $35 US per person! Our low season rates are in effect between now and December 22nd.

Give yourself a break, and enjoy the best food in La Ceiba at La Villa de Soledad B&B!

Chatting with one of our guests this week he described La Villa de Soledad as a Jewel in the Jungle! I of course could not resist to write about this, so here I go…

The truth is that we are in the jungle and we do have a special place.

Getting to our Personal Jewel in the Jungle.

As is customary, I picked up our guests, Keith and Dana at the ferry dock. They arrived from Roatan on the Galaxy Wave ferry at 3:30 p.m. It took them a while to collect all their bags. The Ferry operation is outstanding; but they do need to work on the baggage collection. After meeting with them, we headed towards the Cangrejal River Valley. In total, we travel a distance of about 8 miles from the ferry to La Villa de Soledad.

Although a short drive, most of it is on a dirt road, which delays the arrival a few extra minutes. En route, it is normal for guests to reach a state of awe with the lush jungles and lovely river. About ten minutes after boarding the car, we are in a jungle road which follows the Cangrejal River. There is a dense forest coverage on both sides of the river. To the right is Pico Bonito National Park, to the left is Nombre de Dios National Park. It is easy to wonder where the heck it is you are headed for!

Keith shared with me that he did at one point ask himself if he had selected the right property to stay in. It seemed like we are on our way to a remote location, and the dense jungle made him think he would need to rough it out. He was looking for a nice place in the jungle, but was not particularly excited about rustic lodging!

First Impressions are Always Important!

A jewel in the jungle — Nestled in the tropical jungles of Nombre de Dios and Pico Bonito National Parks.

After about 20 minutes up the Cangrejal River Road we arrived at our destination. A steep drive up the hill usually gets our guests wondering if the car will make it up. The truth is you do need a four wheel drive vehicle to make it up. Half way up the hill you finally are aware of the place you chose to stay in. Our lovely Hacienda style home sits on a small bluff overlooking the Cangrejal River. It also faces the lush green mountains of Pico Bonito National Park.

I love it when guests finally walk into what we call our living room and acts as the lobby for our Bed and Breakfast. High cathedral ceilings and open porches blend into the natural surroundings. They always draw some awe inspired sighs! “Wow”, and “Oh My God” are common expressions when our guests walk in.

We are proud of the photos that we have in our website, but the general consensus is that we need better photos. What we have does not do justice to our property! The truth is that we are proud of our jewel in the jungle. We love seeing the impression on our guests faces when they first arrive! It does make for great first impression! Of course, we work hard to keep that good impression throughout their stay.

So now you know… if you are looking for a special place in the tropical rain forests of Central America. Consider staying at La Villa de SoledadBed and Breakfast in Honduras. You will find that it is a true jewel in the jungle. Go ahead and book now, to make sure that you can enjoy this lovely paradise that we call home!

Best of La Ceiba, Honduras Art, hotels in la ceiba Honduras art, Jorge Restrepo, unique honduran artists

Artwork by Jorge Restrepo

At La Villa de Soledad B&B we are proud to promote local artists who have distinguished themselves as leading painters in Honduras. We have slowly gotten together a collection of unique artwork that we are proud of. Not only does it help give a special sense of place to our inn, it also complements what we consider it good taste in our décor throughout our Bed and Breakfast.

Jorge Restrepo was actually born in Colombia, but worked for many years as a scholar at the Escuela Panamericana de Agricultura, also known as Zamorano. The greens and blues in Honduras inspired his work, which we proudly display in the hallway around our interior courtyard. The painting that we have is titled “Honduras” and truly represents the different shades of green and blue you will find throughout this beautiful country we call Honduras.

Jorge Restrepo studied drawing and painting at the academy of art, Jesuit School in Medellin, Colombia, Jorge had six individual exhibits in Honduras, Dominican Republic and El Salvador, as well as nine collective exhibits in France, the United Kingdom, the United State, Honduras, Colombia and Brazil. His paintings are collected in different countries. Jorge Restrepo left Honduras a few years ago to return to his native Colombia, but left an important legacy of art in Honduras. You can see more of Jorge Restrepo’s unique artwork at his webpage: http://jorgerestrepo.com/Gallery.html

La Villa de Soledad B&B is one of the few hotels outside of San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa to feature original art in our public areas as well as our rooms. If you appreciate original artwork, come and stay with us at La Villa de Soledad B&B and become familiar with our art collection.

awards, Best of La Ceiba, hotels in la ceiba Best rated accommodations in La Ceiba, Best rated bed and breakfast in La Ceiba, Best rated guesthouse in La Ceiba, Best rated inn in La Ceiba, Best rated lodge in La Ceiba

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.

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!

Book now and insure you have a room reserved for your vacation at the best rated hotel in La Ceiba!

Most travelers that come through La Ceiba do so on the way to the Bay Islands of Roatan or Utila. Because of this, very few of them actually overnight in La Ceiba.

Without doubt, the nicest and most versatile area within La Ceiba is the Cangrejal River Valley. This area is only 10 km.
