2 Best Hotels in Isla del Tigre, Southern Honduras

What is billed as the island's top hotel is still quite basic. Peach-colored rooms have two beds and a table, but little else for furnishings. Units climb a hillside, but despite the name of the hotel referring to a mirador (lookout), only those at the top command any real views. The public areas are the draw, with several terraces built into the complex that are perfect for lounging the day away with a good book and a drink. Rates are discounted 20 percent during the week, Sunday through Thursday night.

As with every lodging option on Isla del Tigre, things are pretty plain and simple, but Veleros is immaculate—that's something you can't say about every hotel on the island—and service is friendly. Rooms contain comfortable beds and tile floors. You can pay a discounted rate off the already low prices if you don't use the air-conditioning, but you'll definitely want to spring for the air. You'll likely find yourself lounging around on the deck, lazing in one of the hammocks, or hanging out at the seafood restaurant ($$). The lobster is a steal at L360.
