I have been to the Lodge at Pico Bonito several times over the past 9 years. There have been many improvements in recent years. They have maintained the beautiful Honduran mahogany cabins in their original design and function. The rooms are certainly large enough. The bathroom is rather small, but adequate. Because every room is in a thick, mountain rainforest, they are rather dark. Not all the lamps worked. Ceiling fans and A/C were good. Some would call the rooms rustic. Even a rainy hour gives you a chance to listen to the jungle while lying in a hammock listening to the bird and watching the agoutis.

The grounds were meticulously manicured, with beautiful plants and tropical blooms at every turn. Cacao trees filled the forest as well as tropical birds and animals. Guided hikes, spa, exhibits of butterflies and local reptiles and snakes.

This is not an inexpensive facility, but I felt it was worth the price for a relaxing and interesting place to visit. Almost every employee I met was bilingual in Spanish and English.
Good WiFi, no TV in rooms. The food was good with sufficient choices for dinner. Service is excellent. Well-stocked bar and cellar. On our recent trip there during a national holiday, it was a full house, but we never felt crowded. We rarely saw other guests except at the pool or in the spacious restaurant.

My wife and I are birders and the lodge offered some great opportunities photographing them. There were many hummingbird feeders with plenty of birds around at all times. There are several good trails we walked early in the morning and were pleased to see many toucans. The cabin was clean and the AC cooled it in short time. The food at the restaurant was excellent and varied, and the service was even better. Highly recommended for anyone seeking the quiet of nature and the convenience of the modern world (Wi-Fi worked great in the cabin).

Paradise on earth

Great place to stay for a weekend with your loved ones. This place is amazing; it has everything you need to disconnect from the world and have a peaceful moment (well, not total disconnection because there is wifi in the rooms). Everyone is so kind and gentle, and the food is just incredible, the spa is unmatched and the pool is outstanding. Without a doubt, this is the best hotel in the area.

Service was 5 star. Mario did a terrific job at lunches and dinner (and had the kitchen prepare off-menu items and checked if we needed dinner when we were tired and did not go to the restaurant - then delivered it) , Carlos was great at breakfast, even when we had additional people \"pop in\".
Front desk was responsive and sent towels and pillows QUICKLY as needed. Laundry was super fast.

A must visit!

This was my 3rd if not 4th time to this hotel and always a wonderful experience. The hotel rooms, grounds, restaurant and people are always wonderful. It is a nice break from the city to enjoy beautiful surrounds of nature, birds, rivers, walks, hikes or just relax and read a book by the pool, the beautiful porches, your personal hammock or the spa which offers many services.

Relax in the jungle.

The Lodge at Pico Bonito was excellent. It is in a beautiful location in a national park, it's full of birds and other animals and colourful tropical flowers. The reception staff were always helpful, especially with organizing a doctor as my husband was unwell (nothing to do with the Lodge). The food in the restaurant was spot on, but be careful, as the portions are big (at least in my opinion, for others they might be the right size). The service in the restaurant was also great.

Gorgeous setting! Hiking trails, pool, spa, restaurant, room - everything was exceptional! Just make sure to bring bug spray. We saw and heard tons of toucans. The hikes and places to swim along the trail are amazing. The staff is very helpful. We were traveling with our 2 kids (ages 7 and 10) and they loved it as well. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location and facility. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Good with very good with a nice selection. It can be a place for just simply relaxation to more activities of hikes and excursions. Awesome massage with beautiful facilities. The only two downsides was the terrible mattress...sleeping was painful and the hot tub was not working to work out the soreness. It was cool and rainy and the hot tub was one of the reasons we picked this place. Maybe next time.

To little wildlife

I came to Pico Bonito because of the advertised Butterfly business with the raising of over
40 butterfly species and wanted to spend time observing all the stages in the lives of these
40 plus species. Instead I found only about four individual butterflies in the large covered
Butterfly House, It was most disappointing and frustrating. I was most unhappy. Although
I enjoy the birds I have seen most of the species around the lodge, and they were much
fewer in number than I have seen in Belize, Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico. The snorkeling
trip to Cayos Cochinos was awful - impossible boat - and where we did get in the water there was poor visibility and few fish. I dove these islands with my late husband about 13 years
ago and found it a great experience, This trip was really bad. I wish I had saved my money and gone to another area. I could not recommend Pico Bonito to any of my Birding or Buttterfly enthusiastic friends.

Fantastic

I thought I was going into the heart of the jungle on this narrow dirt road with jungle over growth. Then it just opened up into this 5 star hotel. This is what you want. The feel of the jungle and wildlife everywhere. But with the 5 star amenities. Rooms were cabins like I was back in the 1920's in the Congo. AC in the rooms but I slept with the windows open (screened windows). Sitting on the patio looking up at the mountain in this wooden lodge area, as the waiter brought me a tropical drink, it was awesome. Can't wait to bring the kids.

Heaven on Earth

Truly an amazing experience, small cabins in the midst of a tropical rainforest with wildlife all around. We saw many birds, different types of reptiles, and other small woodland creatures. It's fun to visit their snake display as well as the beautiful butterfly arboretum. The restaurant is one of the finest I've experienced in my world travels, excellent food, a varied menu, looking out over the tropical gardens filled with hummingbirds and many other tropical wildlife. The cabins are very private, quiet and comfortable. We loved our beautiful bath and the shower is amazing. Very comfortable beds with daily maid service. At first I was a little taken back with the amount of insects, but considering you are living in the midst of a jungle . . . I suppose there's no getting away from the insects. Bring your mosquito repellant. I used it frequently. Also loved the beautiful pool area and comfortable loungers with plenty of beach towels. I would suggest the menu prices are a little high by Honduras standards but given the overall experience and quality of the restaurant, worth every penny.

lovely resort but ...

The resort was beautiful and the staff were excellent. I was shocked at the prices in the restaurant and realize they pretty well have you locked in as its too far to find a different place to eat. The first day my daughter had linguine with shrimp for lunch which was $17 US. These prices are way out of line with Honduran prices and we were disappointed to see it only came with four shrimp. When i mentioned this to the manager he stared at me for an uncomfortably long time and told me they hadn't had any other complaints..not the attitude nor response I would have hoped for. The meal service did include a bun the next day which was better but still felt insulted by the managers response and the sparse seafood. Later i has a steak that was one third fat but the waiter didn't seem to care. If they are going to charge those prices they should offer fabulous food.

A rainy day

I stopped by the Lodge for one night on my way to Roatan. Even though it is the rainy season I did see a number of hummingbirds and a few larger birds. Even with a poor weather forecast, my bird guide did show up at the scheduled 6 am and we went birding. It was slow due to the rain but still worth it when a Lovely Cotinga showed up.

I am a frequent traveller. This hotel is the nicest and the people are genuinely nice and go out of their way to help you. Tania at the front desk was a very helpful resource and very obliging. Mario, or should i say Super Mario was also the best he could be. Our guide on the hike entertained us with numerous stories about his village. Overall this was such a wonderful experience. the place, is the absolute best kept secret in all of central america.
