Understand this review in the context of the city and the country! And also make certain that you have the correct hotel - there is another (worse) hotel in La Ceiba called "La Quinta" - this is the "Quinta Real". If you arrive and can not see the sea, then you are not at the Quinta Real!

As the other reviews point out, there are clubs next door and close by this hotel - so if you are here on a weekend, keep the noise in mind. During the week all is generally quiet, but Friday and Saturday nights are going to be a little noisy. There are rooms away from the noise if you ask for them.

The hotel is very close to what American travelers will expect. Some of the staff speaks English very well, so if your Spanish is wobbly, don't worry. The staff training is apparent and they try their best to provide top-flight service. The "gym" is a typically small room and the internet service works well enough.

The restaurant breakfast buffet is a big, big meal! Get there early and hungry - you will eat until you burst! The pool is fun and our kids (teens) loved it. The tiki bar at the pool will keep everyone refreshed. The grounds are nicely manicured and lead out to the public beach. Most of the beaches in La Ceiba are pretty gross, but the hotel seems to do their best to keep this area of the beach clean. I would suggest you only swim in the pool, but you can lounge on the beach in hotel chair at hotel cabanas.

If you are in La Ceiba for a few days, this hotel will give you a nice, "near-resort" feel and value. I don't think there is enough here to keep you happy for more than a few days, but it is definitely the nicest thing going in La Ceiba. Check in, stay close to the hotel, and relax!

Nice place to stay. Very convinient, nice view of the sea. Good access. Good international standar. Friendly employees.

STAY AWAY. BETTER HOTELS TO BE HAD

My wife and I spent a couple nights here at the end of May. We were not impressed. Where to start. Super loud club music till 6 in the morning both night of our stay. Used the hotel laundry service, which was very expensive and they ruined one of my wife's shirts. We told the front desk about the problem and were told we would have to speak to a manager. No manager was available. No manager was available that night or the next day before we checked out either. So that was unresolved. The "business center," was not air conditioned (not really a huge deal), but all the letters were worn off the keyboards. When the keyboard layout is different from your native keyboard at home this is a big deal. Never did manage to find the question mark. The beach at the hotel was covered in garbage. But mostly it was expensive for not getting any sleep. We payed 3700 lps a night to listen to terrible club music.

My second stay at Quinta Real was great as usual the hotel staff is always accomodating and helpful. The food is great and shopping is like ten minutes away in a taxi. Imagine a beautiful hotel in front of the caribbean sea what more can one ask for sitting at the bar drinking a pina colada or just enjoying the fresh natural breeze so if your looking for comfort hospitality stay at Quinta Real.
