"Very friendly Staff. Restaurant staff helpfull. Clean facilities. "

"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. "

"One the location that was shared was completely wrong. Then when I tried to get in touch, no one helped out or even picked the phone up ( mind you it was during their business hours) Turns out the place was way further out that what is stated. "

"It was a great experience. Food & service 10/10 . Not complaint "
