Puerto Barillas Marina & Lodge

FYI: my family and I are city people from NYC. When we first got to the lodge it was dark. Pitch dark. We have to admit , we were nervous and thought what did we get ourselves into. The staff was very pleasant. Reassured us that we were very safe and secure. We got to our rooms, it was very clean and spacious. Loved it. The next morning when we were able to see. The place is amazing. We experience the spider monkey sanctuary, which was a one of a kind experience. (cage free) we took a ride on the water and experienced viewing the different areas of the bay. It was totally an amazing experience and I would go back with friends.

This place is a little off the beaten path. You will def need a car to get there. This is my families second time staying there. The views are amazing. The monkey tour we will do ever time. This time we did the deep sea fishing trip. It was very expensive. We are not a fishing family we just wanted to try it. We did get fish and the restaurant cooked it for us which was actually not part of the deal but it was very kind of them to do that. We love the lady at the front desk, so kind. We will go again and always do the monkey tour. The pool is lovely. Only negatives, room is poorly lite at night and the restaurant menu is somewhat sparse. That being said we would still return.
