The Diving Pelican Inn is an excellent place to stay when visiting La Ceiba. It is family-owned, the rooms are extremely nice and comfortable, the food is excellent, there is a pool, it is right on the beach, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. You can sign up for a day trip to Cayos Cochinos. For those of you who like to drink, there is a bar that is open in the late afternoon/early evening. It is secure with great views of the sea and the mountains. I highly recommend staying here!

We loved the Diving Pelican Inn. Michelle and Adrea are amazing people and were more than accomodating during our stay. Michelle really helped us out by watching our van on our visit to the bay islands.
The beds were super comfy, the food was delicious! and the company was great. The best hot wings we've had in central america.
We would definitrly recommend the Diving Pelican for a relaxing stay and some excellent service.

If you enjoy the mountains and the beach, this is your spot! It rests along the coast of La Ceiba, with views of spectacular diving location Cayos Cochinas only a boat ride away. All the while, you have breathtaking mountain views coming from the other side, and the most incredible natural hot springs only 5 minutes away. Michelle is quite the hostess and very personable, and her bartender Donald is just the icing on the cake. He took us to Sambo Creek...just down the road from the pelican and steered us all through the village where he grew up, which offered an abundance of culture to absorb. Finally, the food served at the Diving Pelican was delicious! My grilled lobster with garlic butter was one of the best meals on our trip. A special thanks to Michelle and Donald for making our trip end in such a memorable way. We highly recommend this spot.

We stayed at the Diving Pelican Inn on our way to the Bay Islands. Wow! The Diving Pelican Inn is beautiful, relaxing, and comfortable. Those things alone make it a winning destination in our book. But, what makes it truly unbeatable is the personal attention from the owners. Michelle and Andrea are the best! They are delightful and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure their guests' every need is met. We had wonderful meals together, drinks by the sea, as well as adventures into town. Absolutely unforgettable (Hey Michelle, I bet you'll never forget where the Avis office is, I sure won't!!). We arrived at DPI to meet our inn keeper, but we said goodby to dear friends.

I highly recommend the Diving Pelican Inn to anyone traveling to Honduras. Thanks Michelle and Andrea for making our stay perfect. Hope to see you again in February!
