Amazing place to stay right in the jungle. The property and pool were beautiful and surrounded by wildlife. Walter was a fantastic host with great communication and even let us borrow his binoculars so we could see the Toucans. The hotel has access to the river where you can go rafting, plus there is a lovely walking trail starting inside the hotel grounds. One of the best places we’ve stayed.

The hotel and restaurant were wonderful, accommodating, beautiful, friendly hosts and staff, and exceptional quality. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Walter was amazing and helped us whenever we needed it. He picked us up from La Ceiba for 400L, booked rafting, answered our questions and was very kind and friendly. Pepe was a great host and welcoming us into his hotel. The location is beautiful, stunning mountain views, lovely pool, kitchen to use, beer to buy, comfy beds, good wifi, warm showers, amazing rafting tour. Stay for as long as possible!

It is an amazing place - the best we have been in Honduras. We were upgraded, and we stayed in the owner's house. Very large and comfortable apartment with a well-equipped kitchen and an amazing large balcony. Close to the house, there are good places for hiking and rafting.

Amazing place, we were upgraded for 2 of our 3 nights as the River Lodge which was incredibly kind of Pepe. Walter the caretaker was absolutely amazing and on hand for anything you may need. A perfect place to stay in Pico Bonito

The Hotel Rio is one of the most beautiful places I stayed in my live, Walter was super helpful with everything, he helped us to organize some tours like a walk in the jungle/ el bejuco waterfall, rafting on the Cangrejal river (for both tours we had the same guide Ozny, he was exceptional with all the information he gave us, super interesting). The hotel is just perfect, the decoration of the place, the big space we had for ourselves, the views from it were magnificent with the Pico bonito mountain. A really good place to stay a full weekend, if I go back I would for sure stay there again.

The hotel is beautifully located just next to rio Cangrejal and close to the entrance of the national park pico bonito. The hotel offers rafting and are helpful with everything. Walter was amazing and helped us with everything from taking us on early bird watching tours to driving us and walking us to restaurants and the chocolate factory nearby. He has an excellent eye and pointed out amazing wildlife that we wouldn’t notice ourselves. He didn’t speak English and we didn’t really speak Spanish, but we wanted to learn anyways and Walter was happy to help. The toucans were in the garden of the hotel, so if you wish to see toucans while eating breakfast, this is the place. The owner Pepe was also amazing and upgraded our room as well as taking us for a coffee and then to the ferry. The rooms were spacious and clean. Will definitely go back!

No words can describe the beauty of this place!! So special! Up in the mountains..with the best view, the sounds of nature, a beautiful house with the best balcony. Walter, a local guy who works there went beyond to help us with anything we needed..special thanks to him!! Pepe the owener was very kind also. You just cannot get enough of this place. So many activities are offered as well such as hiking and rafting. Definitely this place is highly recommended!
