So heart warmed by our stay at El Cortijo. The hosts John and Marta and the boys they have working with them are amazing and we felt so relaxed and comfortable. The birding on the property was mind blowing and I fell in love with a motmot. As for the casual dining area, I recommend the pescado al ajillo -... More

Thank you for your wonderful review, we continue to think about you and look forward to your return. The boys say hello! And we now have some great new crafts for sale. Our broken hearted Motmot is waiting. More

We always have a great time at El Cortijo. We live in country and try to get a weekend there as often as possible. We love John and Marta, they are truly hospitality specialists. The food is great, the accomodations suit all our needs, the sailing is wonderfull. We recommend it to everyone who comes to visit! Come check it... More

I really enjoyed to stay here. You couldn't be closer to the lake. I hired a canoe and completely forgot about all world once I was on the lake as it was so relaxing and enjoyable. The accommodation was simple and that’s why I liked it. Hot water was nice bonus and food was very tasty. I couldn’t ask for... More

Drawn by the good reviews we decided to spend a few days in this hotel. After a long trip with local buses we expected a warm welcome. The opposite was the reality. No 'welcome', no 'how are you', not even a smile. During the tour it was clear we were the only guests. At first we thought this would be... More

I would highly recommend staying here! The couple that run it are so kind and caring! They saved us from being stranded for the night-we got dropped off on the other end of the lake by mistake as the bus driver didn't stop at the normal stop- and they came to pick us up late at night-and even kept the...

- Stunning location right on the lake. - On-site restaurant has great camp atmosphere and tasty food in generous portions. - Wake up to an amazing symphony of bird calls. - Rent a rowboat early in the morning to get a closer look at the birds and the mist-shrouded lake. - Hot water showers were deliciously hot! - Staff was...

I am a volunteer in Honduras, and came here with a big group (there were 12 of us). We stayed in the 2 dormitories, which were 4 beds each, and 2 of the private rooms. The 2 dorms have a screened porch with hammocks and a table and chairs, with an amazing view of the lake. The staff were so... More

Bargain of the century. £6 for a lakeside cabin with a bog and shower. Food in the restaurant not too expensive either. There is a village just down the road as well for snacks and the rest. If you like wildlife the lake is FULL of birds.[ Mind you, those frogs make a racket at night !] This place would... More

Loved our three days in El Cortijo. Unlike many of the hotels around Lago de Yojoa it is right on the lake with great views and plenty of birds. Were blown away by the variety of fish and bird life visible even from a canoe. Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

This is the place where you want to stay if you're had enough of the big rough cities. The rooms have an amazing lake view! If you're in a lazy day, you just can swing in the hammock and enjoy the beautiful view. The rooms are clean but mattress are not that great. There's always hot water in the bathrooms.... More
