Casa Cangrejal
A nice 4 bedroom bed and breakfast located almost next to Omega Tours, Casa Cangrejal looks like a stone house just out of a Hansel and Gretel story.

Las Cascadas Lodge
A lovely luxury jungle inn, Las Cascadas Lodge is a dream come true. Fine architecture, a perfect location adjacent to a private waterfall, great meals and top shelf liquors. This is the place to be pampered in if you can afford it. The prices are considerably above the rest of the lodges within the Cangrejal River area. However I must be state that they run an all inclusive operation. This means that meals and drinks are included in the room rate! Las Cascadas Lodge has a total of 3 rooms available to guests. Ryan, the manager offers great adventure tours, including white water rafting and canyoneering down tropical waterfalls in the rain forest!

Cabanas del Bosque
Also known as Cabanas Aventuras del Bosque, this small property, in the community of Las Mangas is next to the Cangrejal River. Various members of the community own and manage this property. It is, to my knowledge, the only successful example of a community owned hotel in Honduras! Rooms are basic, but each has its own private bathroom, a nice terrace overlooks into Pico Bonito National Park and overall, it is very clean. The property also offers a small restaurant for its guests. You will enjoy the fact that they work very closely with a local, grassroots organization called Guaruma that maintains a trail into Pico Bonito National Park. You can also arrange different tours through a community owned tour operator that is in Las Mangas: Cangrejal Tours. Cabanas del Bosque has a total of 6 rooms.
La Canasta Eco Lodge
You will find this unique property close to the community of El Pital, about 17 km. from La Ceiba. This is the most isolated of all hotels in the area. The property gets its name “La Canasta Eco Lodge” due to the unique access to it. The property is community owned and part of a woman’s cooperative, that goes by the name of Cooperativa Juan Pablo II. Access is not easy, but it offers a great opportunity to interact with the small community. For reservations, it is best to do so through Reservaciones La Ceiba, a community owned reservations center. Part of their profits are invested back into the communities.
