Reviews of Villas Pico Bonito

Amazing view. Great team. Beautiful place

None

The location and set up is a total wow! We arrived in torrential rain and with really slippery paths to take our bags through but we still thought it was amazing. Our room (we think) had the best possible view (river, mountains and waterfall). It had a lovely hot shower and the kitchen was well equipped. Richard, the owner arranged our transfers and our driver Orlando even stopped to let us pick up supplies. In terms of food, we had some great vegan options and the ones we tried were all delicious. Cocktails too. The dogs that live there are gorgeous and love a cuddle. In the day time you can see large numbers of hummingbirds in the bar area. The grounds have a number of trails but we also went for walks outside and felt safe doing so. The pool area is inviting but was too cold for us in the weather we had. Overall, we enjoyed our visit.

There are only a handful of things that could have been better. 1. We were only there 2 nights but it would be good to have had housekeeping. If you have to throw toilet paper into a bin and food bins attract insects then we would have preferred to have had them removed. 2. There is a hairdryer, but it's shared. This could be a Booking.com issue but when things are advertised as in a room we think that should be 100% of the time. 3. and one we don't think the hotel management could do anything about but we're writing it to discourage future visitors from following suit, other visitors spent a lot of their time throwing firecrackers and fireworks from their balcony. It's such a beautiful place that we just can't work out why people would want to spoil it, but we had the residue in front of our door too.

Great place to stay ideally 2 nights! Pool and garden are exceptional. Dinner and breakfast are good too.

Only drawback is the way to this remote place, a taxi will cost you 25-35$ one way.

So many things: The entire location is so beautifully set up, the dogs were amazing, beautiful morning swims in the river, lovely staff,... great stay!

The food was good. All three meals. Steak dinner on the second night was excellent.

The staff did not speak any English. There were no other guests in the resort. Wx was bad (cold and rainy) for half of the stay.

The property is beautiful and the staff is friendly and professional. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and having fun.

The setting is absolutely stunning: both the nature and the design of the space. Each house it very private, far enough from the others. The pool is how it looks on the pictures (which is not always the case). The bar area is surrounded by butterflies and hummingbirds and you can hear the river everywhere you are. The staff is super helpful.

Could have used a bit more variety in the vegetarian options but then again, the same can be said all over Honduras.

Hotel right in the nature, near the river, perfect to relax and unwind. We did have a very good time there, wasn’t too crowded.

Beds were a bit too firm to our taste. Bathroom’s ceiling need some renovations.

the hotel was in a wonderful location, easy to get too and had paths to the river. our room was large and comfortable although we spent little time there. the staff was very friendly and helpful. the pool was beautiful and the beer was cold.

A counter in the bathroom would have been nice--two women need more space. The food in the restaurant was okay--although the quesadillas were delicious

Very large, luxury, comfortable lodge, friendly staff & very pleasant owner; laid-back atmosphere, beautiful scenery, good food.

nothing worth mentioning

The Beautiful gardens and walkways

There Was nothing I didn’t like it was all wonderful

Property was stunning. The accommodation were clean and came equipped with all the essentials. having the pool and River made it very comfortable for the hot days.

Everything!! This place is just a magical retreat in the jungle. The pictures don't do any justice to this place is even BETTER! I booked the Colibri (Hummingbird) room, and it was adorable. A couple of things to the travelers. This is the jungle - be aware that you are a wild place and just enjoy nature and its benefits. The place is an experience by itself; the rooms are comfy, clean, and have fans... To my surprise, the room had a kitchen and some utensils for an easy meal. Big plus+ nowadays! The staff is accommodating, they may not have all the answers right away, but they are trying their best to give you the more accurate ones. These people are so friendly and nice that I want them to be my friends. The food is fabulous! I'm a Honduran who lives abroad, and finding a good spot for food that doesn't mess with my stomach is a challenge; this was not the case - I ate four meals with my family, and everything was spot on! Just relax and leave the corporate clock back in the States. It's going to be worth it, I swear! The owner is so nice, and his dog Lexi is going to melt your heart ❤️🐾 I did not have the chance to go on their tours, but knowing the staff probably will be fantastic! Did I mention that this hotel is the only one with an incredible view of the Cangrejal River, and I spotted some Tucans? Even if you don't stay here, come for a meal and enjoy the view!

It’s hard to explain how magical this place is. It’s like living in the garden of Eden with whitewater rafting. They arranged everything for us while we stayed here…transportation, excursions, amazing recommendations. I wish I could give this place 20 stars.

The food at the resort can take a really long time to come, but it’s good food and reasonably priced. If you go in with a relaxed attitude and just enjoy the river and the flowers and the atmosphere you will not be disappointed.

the area is laid out beautifully with plants, trees and flowers reflecting the beauty of the jungle. Richard is a great host and ensures you have an enjoyable, comfortable and interesting stay. He organised a jungle hike where we were collected from Villas Picos Bonitos by Ossi. Ossi was a fabulous guide and we saw two beautiful waterfalls. The second day we did river swimming and rapid rafting. We finished right by Villas Picos Bonitos and able to walk right back to our villa. Food at the restaurant is good. if you are thinking of visiting this part of La Ceiba do not hesitate to book here. An excellent and very enjoyable stay. Thank you Richard and all the friendly attentive staff.

nothing to dislike.
