Caribbean Scuba Diving in Honduras and the Bay Islands
 

 


The Mango Inn, located on Utila in the Bay Islands of Honduras Central America, was built with the atmosphere and feeling of the Western Caribbean in mind. We constructed the hotel entirely from wood with large airy rooms and huge porches, where guests can swing in hammocks and watch the day go by.

The hotel is set in a classic Caribbean garden with coconut, canup, breadfruit, craboo, banana, lime and of course mango trees all about. Take a look around the site and then come and join us in the Mango Garden!

Accommodations

At the Mango Inn we offer four types of rooms designed for the budget of every visitor. Never wanting to lose our sense of fun and adventure we offer shared rooms for the budget traveler and cabins for our resort guests. Please follow the links to the right for expanded information on all our accommodations. Review the rates below to quickly choose what room best fits your budget but whatever room you choose, we're sure your stay with us will be remembered for a lifetime.

Deluxe Cabin
These luxurious cabins were completed in October 2003 and are by far the most charming and luxurious choice of accommodation in The Mango Inn. Separated from the main building of the hotel, each cabin has:

  • two double beds
  • a lounge with fridge
  • cable television
  • private bath with hot water
  • telephone
  • drinking water
  • air conditioning


The glazed terracotta tile bathrooms are fitted with vanity units. You will find a fantastic view from the large private balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped tropical gardens and fun filled pool

Standard Cabin
Our standard cabins also boast the same amenities as the Deluxe rooms and are located at ground level in the tropical gardens of the hotel. Separated from the main building of the hotel, each cabin has:

  • two double beds
  • cable television
  • private bath with hot water
  • telephone
  • drinking water
  • air conditioning
  • a spacious private porch


These cabins are ideal for relaxing after a day of diving in Utila or other non-diving activities on the island

Deluxe Room
Our deluxe rooms provide the same comfort than the standard cabins, but they are located on the two floors of the main building and have a big communal porch where you can swing your hammock and watch the day go by. Each deluxe room has:

  • two double size beds
  • private bath and hot water
  • telephone
  • drinking water
  • air conditioning
  • a spacious communal porch


Our deluxe rooms are a very good compromise between the cabins and the standard rooms.

Standard Room
Our standard rooms are located in the main building and they are meant for the guest who likes a private bath but doesn't mind a communal porch and atmosphere. Located on the two floors of the main building of the hotel, each standard room has:

  • 1 double and 1 single bed

  • one bed rooms w/one king bed and one bed room w/ one double bed
  • full service kitchen

The Mango Cottage is ideal for the family traveler, a dive club trip, or that secret romantic diving hide-a-way for two. It's right in the heart of town and with a short lighted walk to all the nightclubs, restaurants, shopping, and diving you could ever want.

Restaurant

Our restaurant and bar, The Café Mango, is situated in the same tropical gardens as the Hotel itself, creating the most pleasant and peaceful surroundings to complement the exquisite cuisine. Food is served all day from breakfast to dinner to satisfy the needs of all our customers.

You can select from the vast menu of seafood, meats and vegetarian dishes or choose one of our famous brick oven pizzas, freshly made on the premises by our resident Italian chef. The daily specials and fine imported wines attract clientele from all over the island for relaxing lunches or candle lit dinners.

Diving

Utila Dive Centre offers quality diving courses and accommodation with the best prices in the world. With an unmatched friendly and professional staff, Utila Dive Centre guarantees you the best time both in and out of the water.

To ensure our customers with great service and satisfaction, Utila Dive Centre maintains a fleet of 4 diving vessels. All boats are equipped with all safety equipment and are yearly inspected by the Marina Mercantile de Honduras. As a Diving Alert Network member and sponsor, as well as a PADI 5 Star Gold Palm Resort and Career Development Center, Utila Dive Centre reinforces the diving safety and the diving standard and procedures.

Utila offers a wonderful variety for underwater adventurers. The reefs are packed with life and the corals are in pristine condition. It is not uncommon for divers to play with manta rays, swim with dolphins and gasp with wonder as the biggest fish in the sea, the incredible whaleshark, goes by.

The diving around Utila has rightly become legendary amongst divers who like to break away from the "production line" diving which is unfortunately now becoming the norm in an ever more popular Caribbean. Things tend to move at a relaxed pace in the Bay Islands and in particular on Utila. Dive boats are rarely crowded and dive sites are strictly limited to one dive boat per buoy. You will never experience the feeling that there are more divers than fishes!
