Very nice property with wonderful pool & bar area. Michelle was excellent host and helped with all our travel arrangements. The location is on a nice stretch of beach and makes the boat ride to Cayos Cochinos Marine Park shorter and the boat picks you up right off the beach.

Can't thank Michelle enough for ensuring our week in Honduras was that perfect vacation that we so hoped it would be. Amazing that today you still can get such a fabulous vacation for such a reasonable cost if you know where to look and who to rely on.

We stayed at the Diving Pelican after seeing the ruins in Copan. It is right on the beach and convenient to get to from La Ceiba. We drove ourselves there and we had no trouble finding it (we brought a GPS with local maps). Michelle was a great hostess and made it all very convenient for us to hang out.... More
