Honduyate — Hotel in Cortés

LOCATION This place is located just off Highway CA-5, which is the main highway crossing Honduras. It is located about 2 hours from the San Pedro Sula airport. I would highly recommend staying at this location instead of staying at any upscale hotel in San Pedro. In our case, we had a 7am flight out of San Pedro and we wanted to stay nearby but not within San Pedro Sula and this place worked out really well. SERVICES OFFERED Boarding for individuals (romantic), groups Cottage-type of rooms (this kind of room is where we stayed)...my family of 6 and I were able to stay here for under $90.00 (granted this was off season) Restaurant: highly recommend the restaurant...if you are going to ask for fish and you prefer it well done...ask them to overcook it. This would be my recommendation on the dish (fish dinner). Also...keep in mind you are probably going to have to wait between 30-minutes to 1 hour before the food is served. Souvenir Shop: They have a small souvenir shop, which has a lot of goodies made by local indigenous groups. My recommendation is to skip it because of the prices. High prices and you will find cheaper goodies at the airport made by the same local groups. Boat rides: rides around the lake are offered at certain hours. We got there past the hours so we couldn't experience this. ABOUT THE ROOMS We stayed at a cottage-type of room, where they had bunk beds and probably as many as 10 people could sleep in one room/individual beds and there were two rooms. One with a private full bathroom. There was a living-room type area and another shared full bathroom. The three rooms had TVs, they were all clean. The bathrooms were clean. Noise could be a problem since it is off the highway but it didn't bother us. The shower did offer hot\cold water. The shower would do some weird sounds when it was warming the water up but other than that...the water came out cold or hot...granted the hot water runs out but wait for a bit and more hot water will come up. The weird sound was a sign the hot water was coming. Overall...I highly recommend it. You'll find everything in one place with...

My family went on a boat tour with Honduyate. We enjoyed the tour and felt safe on the boat, but we were unimpressed with the quality of the customer service. We were greeted by a guy who acted like he was confused as to why we were there and annoyed that we wanted a tour. After we payed and were assured we would be given life jackets, when it was time to board the vessel the life jackets weren’t provided. My husband asked for them and was told by the captain, “You won’t need them, the water is calm today.” My husband had to ask three times for the guy to finally bring the life vests. They also don’t have infant life jackets. This would be an inexpensive investment that would make their services more amenable...

There aren't many choices in Lago de Yojoa. I have stayed here twice. The first time was in Cabana #3 & it was excellent. The 2nd time was in #17, I believe. It was clean but nothing to brag about. The first room the AC barely worked so we had to insist on moving rooms. The 2nd room the AC worked well. Clean, comfortable beds, clean bathroom however it didn't have hot water. This place is conveniently located on the Pan American highway and has beautiful views. Decent food although could use some improvement. I didn't taste the fresh caught fish but everyone raved about it and my husband did say it was excellent. You can't beat the views here....
