Hotels near Utila Airport - UII, Utila

It is a quiet little island when you are out of town. The landscape varies throughout the island and it is very beautiful. Take lots of bug spray. There are sand flies that are vicious. It's much better to prevent than to try to stop the itching. On that note, benadryl lotion is what works to stop the itching. Pack it in your bags to go with you. Yes, bugs are miserable, but they are not enough to prevent you from seeing this beautiful bay island.

This was our second time to visit. Lovely little town and the people are very friendly. It is an inexpensive place to visit and you are sure to meet people and make new friends. People come here from all over the world. The diving is phenomenal!

We were on the island about 3 nights which was perfect. Had a vrbo with bikes which was perfect. The town is small and easily seen that way. Definitely big on diving. Great snorkeling near shore, although shallow to get out to it. Loved the chocolate factory. The iced chocolate tea is amazing! Although on-line reviews say this is the island for young backpackers/partiers, we found a quiet home just outside of town and loved it. Yes, there are plenty of bars, but there is quiet to be found as well. We enjoyed good vegetarian food at Ultralight Cafe. Joya is such a great hostess that cooks wonderful middle eastern food. Enjoyed a nice ride then walk up Pumpkin Hill as well. Rented kayaks and explored the canal (very narrow!) as well. Had a great time and would love to go back!

I went to Neptune beach one day but did not like it too much as the snorkeling was not so good. This private beach, accessible from a private launch boat, became very crowded as the day wore on. However, it did have a surprisingly good restaurant. (Tuna tower)… There are three very good restaurants here: Mamuth, Mango Tango, and the newly opened Captain Willits. The shore snorkeling was quite good at Coral View and they had a nice bar at end of pier. You can rent a bicycle at a hardware store just up the street from the main ATM near the ferry dock.

Utila is a great a chill location to spend few days. However it is worth more than 2 days only if you are planning to dive for several days as otherwise it could get boring, as there are not many beaches or options. Pristine water, great coral (although not many fish and some of the coral is dead). It is worth a visit!

Utila was perfect. The people were so friendly and sweet. We felt really safe everywhere we went. The traffic with people walking everywhere was a little stressful, but everyone looked out for each other. The reef and snorkeling were exceptional. God is the master creator of all of the beauty to behold in Utila.
