Utila lodge Honduras

Paradise as it was intended! Set out over the turquoise Caribbean waters in the calm Utila Bay, surrounded by spectacular coral reefs, Utila Lodge is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway or adventure vacation.

Let us greet you with personalized service and five star hospitality! Come and experience the casual charm of this family owned and operated resort. Purchased in 1993 by Jim and Kisty Engel, Utila Lodge has been transformed into the warm and welcoming haven that it is today.

You will begin to feel at ease as soon as you enter our relaxed and informal setting, step foot on our private docks or gaze out on peaceful surroundings. Or perhaps you will feel invigorated by the many activities that are available to you. Be it snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, hiking, bird watching, diving or shopping; the possibilities for adventure are unlimited!

With a secluded feel, easy access to town, and much to offer, it is easy to understand why Utila Lodge has been named the best hotel on Utila!

 

January 17-24 2009 OUR CLUB rate is 836.36 per diver

Dive Package includes: 8 days, 7 nights of air conditioned ocean view accommodations, 3 full meals daily, 3 boat dives daily which include 2 night boat dives, tanks, weights, and belts, kayaks and canoes, welcome cocktail, complimentary bottle of wine, high speed wireless internet, fish ID and whale shark presentation, round-trip airport transfers.

As far as Utila Lodge it has 8 double rooms, therefore, there is accommodations 16 people on this trip. Divers and non-divers are the same rate due to the negotiated discount rate for all.

I will need a deposit by April 6, 2008 if you want to go on this dive trip. I will be making a standby list for "extras".

As you can see room is limited. This is a "members only" trip.... So if you have not paid dues for 2008 you MUST include them with your deposit, you will also be required to be a current 2009 member at the time of the trip. If you need an application for membership please let me know and I will email you one so you can include it with your dues and deposit.

Each individual is responsible for their own flights from Pasco to Utila. There are a couple of different options available for flights into Utila. If you choose to fly into Roatan please budget for an additional $230.00 (price subject to change, fuel surcharges ect.) for a inter-island charter flight to Utila. Travel to Utila is most easily accomplished by first flying to San Pedro Sula Honduras, Tegucigalpa Honduras or Roatan Bay Islands. These three international airports have direct service from several U.S. cities including Miami, Houston, Atlanta and New Orleans.


Once you have arrived in San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, you will need to clear customs. Once you have cleared customs, you will need to use one of several domestic airlines to reach Utila.

Most flights to Utila from San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa make a stopover in La Ceiba, the largest city near Utila. You may need to change planes in La Ceiba; the airline staff will let you know.

From La Ceiba you will need to take a ferry to Utila. The connection times from the airport to the ferry are very tight so you need to plan accordingly.

Once you arrive on Utila, staff will meet you at the airport and then provide transport to Utila Lodge, where you will be offered a complementary cocktail or beverage.

Bottom line on deposits:
$200.00 for Utila Lodge Due by April 6TH. (this is on a first come first serve basis)
$230.00 for Charter flight (Roatan to Utila) Due APRIL 6TH.
$60.00 for Delta flight reservation. Due APRIL 6TH.

PS. DONT FORGET YOUR DUES!!!!!!!!
