Looking for special boutique hotels in Honduras to stay in?

Honduras might be a small country many people have never heard about. It might also have a bad reputation that it does not stand up to, but it certainly has many beautiful, unique destinations and some truly special boutique hotels to stay in.

Perhaps the most famous of all boutique hotels in Honduras is located in La Ceiba, capital of Atlantida, the new upcoming destination that you should not miss. The Lodge at Pico Bonito is located just a few kilometers outside of La Ceiba, and offers a beautiful setting within Pico Bonito National Park. But there are several other boutique hotels in Honduras that you can find in La Ceiba and surroundings. Take for example, the Cangrejal River Valley, an absolutely gorgeous area located only 5 miles from downtown La Ceiba! The Cangrejal River, which gives its name to the area, is a beautiful river with crystal clear waters, with a steep slope dropping towards the Caribbean and offering a spectacular white water arena, where you will need to paddle hard around huge boulders and hold tight as your rafting guide helps you negotiate 5 and 6 foot drops into calm natural pools.

Here you will find that the Cangrejal River is actually a natural boundary between two national parks: Pico Bonito and Nombre de Dios National Parks. This means you get to visit two national parks in one tour! Best of all, there are several boutique hotels within the Cangrejal River Valley. One of them is the award winning La Villa de Soledad B&B a unique, family run hotel that offers some of the best service in town! La Villa de Soledad is located within easy walking distance to different attractions, including white water rafting, zip line canopy tours and hiking in Pico Bonito National Park.

But of course there is a lot more to Honduras than Atlantida! You can find a selection of outstanding boutique hotels in Honduras in places such as Copan Ruinas, San Pedro Sula, Roatan, Tegucigalpa and many other cities.

Searching for La Ceiba Honduras Hotels?

La Ceiba Honduras offers a variety of different hotels to choose from. One of the outstanding characteristics of La Ceiba Honduras Hotels is that they are all family owned properties. Yes, believe it or not, there are no international hotel chains operating within La Ceiba, except, for the Lodge at Pico Bonito, a lovely eco property that is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Yes even the larger hotels, such as the Quinta Real, Palma Real, Hotel La Quinta and others are locally owned and family managed! The above means that service is normally under the direct supervision of the owners, who are always on top of their business and seeking to provide the best attention to detail to please their customers.

Of course, as with everything else, there is nothing like feeling at home when you travel, and this is a feeling that you can only achieve in a small property. This is why small hotels, such as bed and breakfasts and inns have become more and more popular. You will find that there are actually several small hotels and inns within La Ceiba and surrounding areas where you can truly feel at home.

Since visiting La Ceiba is usually about the lush nature that surrounds it due to the National Parks, a good option is to seek for a small inn that is located within or close one of the National Parks.

One of the leading options for La Ceiba Honduras hotels that is located within the national parks is La Villa de Soledad. This boutique bed and breakfast has been awarded for two years in a row with the Tripadvisor Travelers choice award, (2014 & 2015) and is located in the Cangrejal River Valley, just outside La Ceiba. The Valley is shared by both Pico Bonito and Nombre de Dios National Parks.

If you prefer a city stay, there are several nice boutique La Ceiba Honduras hotels in downtown La Ceiba. I would suggest you check out Casa Luisa or La Casa de Nery. If you prefer something on the beach, check out Sambo Creek, there are several La Ceiba Honduras hotels there to choose from.

But if you are looking for nature, peace and quiet, and place to relax in nature, the best option for La Ceiba Honduras hotels is La Villa de Soledad.
