Hotel Art Deco Beach — Hotel in La Ceiba

Worst experience ever!!

It's a very old building, the elevator isn't working so if you bring luggage, it's going to be a nightmare having to climb all the stairs. They assigned our room on the fourth floor, and we had a lot of luggage. So we requested another room in a lower level, but he guy at the front desk refused, even though the hotel was almost empty (very few guests).

Also, be prepared to spend the night waiting outside the hotel if you want to go out and want to come back late to your room. I went out the first night of my visit to La Ceiba, and when I came back, the lobby entrance was locked. I called the front desk and no one answered, and I kept knocking the front entrance door until someone could hear me. I literally had to wait 20 minutes outside until one employee decided to come downstairs to open the door.

Also, the security guard they have there will ask you for money. He told me that he would watch out for my car, and asked me if I had any money. I told him no, so he stopped me and said "okay when you come back, please bring me something, like a drink". I felt unsafe so I had to give him money, and I know that he is the guy employed by the hotel. He is there to extort the guests not to make them feel safe.

Also, the rooms are dirty, old, and the beds are really small. At least the AC was working fine, that's the only thing that worked there apparently.

Also, there is a bar nearby. Could be a good thing if you want something to drink at a walking distance, but it's annoying if you want some good night sleep, because of the loud music.

The hotel is expensive, not worth a single penny of what it cost. There are much better hotels around in La Ceiba, avoid this one...

The Deco Art Deco beach Hotel stands up at the front of Caribbean seas with spectacular views. ||As I entered the main entrance, I can see that there was a lot of thought put into the design of the hotel, you can look at any angle at any place in the premise of this hotel and you would ask yourself who the architecture is. ||The accommodation was as exactly the way it was addressed to me in an email. The room had high ceiling, the AC needs to be on a few hours before you can feel the room being cooled since it was in the 90s and humid. Two queen beds, small refrigerator, 27” flat TV, wifi, clean bathroom with hot water. I got two balconies at the fourth floor, one overlooking the Caribbean coast with a view at the pier, the second balcony overlooking the city of La Ceiba. More to see, at 5:30am in the morning I walked thru walkway behind the room an there is was, a stunning view of the mountain ridge of Pico Bonito, showing off about 7k feet of elevation. ||The Hotel has an elevator, which is great we a few days that the City will be shortage in power so the city will lose power for over four hours, however; the hotel has its own generator which keep the hotel up and running. All the people that we met and any other services that we needed were easy to get, I Just needed to ask. ||For the cost of a room with all the amenities such an indoor pool, restaurant, snack/juice bar, friendly people and willing to help at all time, being in a 3er world, I give it...
