The view is absolutely amazing. We booked two nights and extended for another two, that's how nice it is! Walter is the best host we have ever met. He goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. We can recommend the river hike/rafting and the hike to the waterfall. There is a small chocolate factory around the corner of the hotel which is worth a visit!

The breakfast was good and delivered when requested. I booked from another lodge in a nearby location and Walter picked me up. The room I reserved was an economy room in their hotel, however, they provided a fantastic upgrade to the main house on the river. Walter showed me where another restaurant was located which was a very short walk from the house. He also arranged a taxi to take me to the ferry the following afternoon.

Did not see any toucans but read during my stay that Feb and March are breeding and nesting season so perhaps that explains their absence.

The location is incredible, the view from the hotel is fantastic. Walter and Meribel looked after us and were so helpful (despite the language barrier!). Booked a hike through Walter and it was great. There is a kitchen if you want to bring your own food and drink.

Despite what it said on booking.com, there is a restaurant and bar but they were not open (and heard different answers to when they might be), so to get food we had to travel up the road by car to Omega tours every meal. There was nobody else in the hotel, and no staff on site at all, like a ghost town (Walter and Meribel live down the hill and across the road). Basically it's a room in a building and nothing more, but Walter was helpful with anything we needed.

This was not my first time here, And it won’t be my last

Everything! Hotel Rio is a dreamy destination and the owner and staff are very friendly. The view from the main balcony is amazing and a short walk to the river. We only stayed one night so didn't do any kayaking or white water but our next trip will be extended for sure!!

Time moves to fast, never enough time at a beautiful place such as this.

Hotel Río is an eco friendly hotel, so it's pretty basic: a bed and a shower. There's no wifi in some parts of the hotel, which is normal because it's literally located in the jungle! It has a nice bar/restaurant with amazing views. It's a place to go and relax, disconnect from technology for a while, go for a hike nearby, do some river activities, enjoy a book... The staff was helpful when it came to guiding us through the hotel grounds. If you're looking for a budget friendly hotel near Cangrejal river this is a great option for you.

The breakfast was filling and tasty but it was the same breakfast every day, however. Everything else exceeded our expectations.

Limited food choices and no filtered water (you have to use bottled water for drinking and this is rather environmentally wasteful).

It was amazing in comfort and uniqueness to say the least. The view from the balcony is price less, the picture although beautiful doesn’t do it justice. All of the amenities are state of the art and stainless steal. The staff is on call at anytime and with an amazing humbled attitude. Watler was just easy going and offered many alternatives of things to do also offered information about the mountain or local animal habitat. The host Pepe speaks impecable English and Spanish. He has a great inviting, positive attitude that compliments the lodge. He is also super attentive and a pleasure to speak to. The whole experience was perfect and you felt right at home in a tropical rainforest. We enjoyed the whitewater rafting and hike in which the guide was available on location. Word pf advice being food that you’d like to eat from the local supermarket before you drive up the mountain. There’s also a chef available if need be, we didn’t use it because we had 2 chefs with us.

Although everything was great I would definitely ask more questions about the hike. It was very advanced and intense my father although athletic was not able to complete. Other than that. Thank you Pepe!

Natural and activities awesome

Ugly local road

The place is situated just 20 minutes out of La Ceiba. The river is known for many activities and the surroundings are amazing. The staff of the accommodation is very helpful and friendly. Walter and his family take care of all your wishes and Pepe the owner will go out of his way to help you with things you need.

Absolutely Amazing place, location couldn’t be better. Pepe was so helpful and made us feel home right away. The view is probably one of the best I’ve seen in Honduras. Would highly recommend this place
