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.

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.

Pico Bonito Hotels

There are several different Pico Bonito Hotels. All of them of course are located around Pico Bonito National Park. A magnificent National Park that is the second largest in Honduras and offers a huge biodiversity because of the different altitudes that this protected area spans, that goes from a very wet tropical rain forest at sea level facing the Caribbean Sea, eventually transitioning to a very humid Tropical Cloud Forest in the higher altitudes and then to a tropical very dry forest in the south side of the Park.

Most Pico Bonito Hotels are located in the Cangrejal River Area or in the area around the community of El Pino, which is located about 15 km. west of the city of La Ceiba. This is precisely the area where you will find the famous Lodge at Pico Bonito, as well as a couple of other properties.

This highest concentration of Pico Bonito Hotels is in the Cangrejal River Valley, which is very close to the City of La Ceiba, within 7 miles of downtown La Ceiba you will find 9 small lodges and inns. For a list of all hotels in the Cangrejal River Valley, check www.cangrejalriver.com.

Although each and every one of the Pico Bonito Hotels located along the Cangrejal River is unique, there is no doubt that La Villa de Soledad Boutique Bed and Breakfast and Eco Jungle Lodge has a special charm. 5 comfortable rooms, each with a private bath with hot water, high speed internet and some of the most magnificent views of the mountains and the Cangrejal River will certainly enchant you!

Huge open areas, all facing outdoors and generously spaced areas with hammocks provide the perfect environment to relax in nature. In addition, innkeepers, Soledad and John will go out of their way to make you feel at home and help you arrange all of the different activities that are within close reach of the different Pico Bonito Hotels: white water rafting, hiking in the jungle, zip line canopy tours, visits to hot springs, a tour to Cayos Cochinos are just a few of the many different options available. They will also help you arrange your local transportation to and from La Villa de Soledad.

A word of caution: Pico Bonito, a towering mountain that rises behind the city has become an icon for La Ceiba, and there are some properties that use the name of this icon to promote themselves. Some of these are located within the city, so make sure you double check where the hotel is really located, so that you can be sure that you have really booked one of the Pico Bonito Hotels!

Location, location location… Studies show that most travelers choose the hotel they will stay in taking the location of the inn as the most determining factor for their choice. This has to be one of the biggest overlooked truths when building resorts. So which is the best hotel location in La Ceiba?

Twenty something years ago, I started a little business called Honduras tips, it was about a small bilingual travel guide that looked at helping promote the many tourism assets that Honduras has. Although Honduras does have many truly unique and beautiful sites, I have always believed that the most outstanding asset that Honduras has to offer is the friendliness of its people. Hondurans are friendly, humble hosts, that will look to make their guests feel like distinguished visitors and go out of their way to be useful and helpful. This is the first big lesson that I learned while traveling around the country, off the beaten path, in search for those unique places with cozy, welcoming hotels and inns located in truly unique locations.

After many years of traveling, I would still be hard pressed to point out the best hotel locations in Honduras, because there are many outstanding locations. I did however, know, as soon as I visited the Cangrejal River Valley, that this is the best hotel location in La Ceiba.

After several visits, I was able to find a lovely property that sits on a small hilltop overlooking the Cangrejal River, with a direct view to Pico Bonito National Park and best of all in a location that despite the felling of remoteness, is only 5 miles from downtown La Ceiba. Once we had secured the property, we set out to look for an architect that we felt comfortable with to create a truly unique boutique bed and breakfast. We found Mauricio Castaneda, a friendly Honduran architect that has worked in travel related projects in Copan, Roatan and even the Moskito Coast. For more information about Mauricio Castañeda visit: http://macastaneda.com/ . The result was a magnificent building with a lot of charm and character. Best of all is the magnificent location; we can truly boast that we have the best hotel location in La Ceiba.

Come to the Cangrejal River Valley and discover why more and more guests are raving about our beautiful boutique bed and breakfast in La Ceiba! There is no doubt that having the best hotel location in La Ceiba has something to do with it!
