mango creek lodge

property description : Mango Creek Lodge is a small remotely located eco lodge situated on the south shore of Roatan in the beautiful Bay Islands of Honduras. The lodge is secluded and only accessible by water. We have no public utilities and are self sustaining for all of our power needs through solar and wind power with a backup diesel generator. Our 22 acres of land include natural landscaping with local flora and fauna and a small fresh water pond that runs from a spring, which emerges from the jungle behind the lodge.

Our main focus is to be ecologically sensitive to our surrounding environment while providing an atmosphere for relaxing eco holidays to include fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, hiking or just relaxing. Mango Creek is the premier saltwater flats and fly fishing resort on Roatan, practicing a catch and release program. We also offer kayaking in our Hobie Mirage Sport and Adventure kayaks, which allow our guests to fish, sightsee or snorkel by kayak. We are located on the second largest barrier reef in the world and therefore have superb snorkeling just minutes away from the lodge, either by kayak or boat. We also offer excursion trips to several beautiful palm tree tropical islands or through the mangroves, all just a short boat ride away.  Scuba diving trips can also be arranged. Additionally we have a fleet of small day sailboats, which guests can use to cruise the harbor waters, with or without a guide.

The staff at Mango Creek Lodge, educate our guests in the local culture and environment. We provide boat tours, allowing our guests to visit and explore many of the cultural and historical sites of the Port Royal area. The staff all live locally and understand the importance of preservation and the need for biodiversity to maintain sustainability. They participate in environmental improvements through programs sponsored by the lodge. We are also a tribute to local craftsmanship having all of our furniture, woodwork and cabinets made on site by local craftsman using local materials.

changeover day : We do not have a specific changeover day or a minimum period of stay. We are flexible and make every attempt to accommodate our guests schedules.

accommodation : Mango Creek Lodge offers private, comfortable accommodations in four over-the-water cabanas and two lodge guest rooms for our overnight guests. Each room is outfitted with one queen and one single bed. All of our accommodations have hot water showers, ceiling fans, reading lights and are fully screened. Each room features unique hand carved decorative doors and furniture, which provide each space with its own theme. We provide daily maid service and change linens mid-week or as requested by our guests. Our goal is to minimize water consumption by eliminating unnecessary laundry. We provide top quality linens from the United States in all of our guest rooms in bright Caribbean colors. Our cabanas each have a small deck sitting out over the water with unobstructive panoramic views of the ocean and reef, complete with hammock, swing chair, freshwater rinse shower and swim ladder. The spacious cabanas are each set to optimize privacy. The cabana’s thatched roofs are constructed with shingled wooden roofs beneath.

The main lodge at Mango Creek is situated on a hillside above the water and surrounded by tropical trees and plants. The two guest rooms each have French doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the lush grounds. The main lodge also includes several common areas, an open-air patio and an enclosed patio with a large lounging area.

The restaurant and bar at Mango Creek Lodge is the epicenter of the lodge’s activities and a popular meeting place for our guests to relax or enjoy conversation. The restaurant is built over the water providing a beautiful setting for our home cooked meals, all prepared from scratch. Our meals are made using fresh local produce and seafood, prepared American style with a Caribbean flair. Our organic fruit trees and gardens also provide bananas, mangos, papaya, peppers and herbs for the resort. Our use of fresh and local products and bulk purchasing helps reduce packaging and minimize emissions related to transportation.

Being an environmentally responsible lodge, our cabanas utilize composting toilets and solar hot water with electric back up. We have designed and situated all of our buildings to benefit from natural airflow and natural lighting, eliminating the need for air conditioning and minimizing the need for electric light use. We control water consumption through equipment, inspection and education. The lodge’s fresh water supply is on site from a natural spring and provides us with water that has been tested and found to be purer than the local bottled water. We also capture rainwater and store 46,000 gallons of water on site. During periods of drought we are able to provide drinking water to the local community. In our restaurant we wash all dishes by hand and our organic waste is composted for use in our gardens. Our laundry and linens are air dried and the gray water from laundry operations is used to water the flowers and trees. 

Mango Creek Lodge enforces an area of total conservation on our 22 acres, allowing us to protect iguanas, agouti and other indigenous species. Our flowering plants and pristine shoreline provide a natural habitat for many species of birds. Our fly fishing programs place us in areas of highest concern, allowing us to observe and monitor the conditions of these sensitive areas. We have taken many actions to preserve the local habitat such as installation of boat moorings to protect the fragile turtle grass which provides shelter to sea life, an informal conch preserve to assist the conch’s growth and community outreach and education regarding sustainable processes and the need for preservation.

We are also the largest employer in the Port Royal area, hiring locally and paying above the minimum wage. 100% of our paid staff are local nationals. We provide training for our staff offering them other opportunities and also provide financial support for a local child in school.

surroundings : Mango Creek Lodge is located directly on the beautiful Caribbean sea with picture perfect views of the second largest barrier reef in the world. Our gardens are designed to attract local birds and animals, with manicured walking paths throughout the property. Behind the lodge is one of the highest peaks on Roatan of which the resort is set into. The lodge grounds have been preserved in their natural state, providing a buffer between the resort and the Port Royal Wildlife Refuge.

location : The island of Roatan is approximately 29 miles long and is serviced by several major airlines. The airport is less than 15 miles from the resort and Mango Creek provides round trip transportation between the airport and the lodge for all of our guests. The lodge is accessible by boat only and is approximately 3 miles from the closest town of Oakridge. The trip from the airport to the lodge takes approximately one hour and provides our guests with a scenic trip as they travel through the hills and rainforest areas of the island.

There are direct flights from Atlanta and from Houston via Delta and Continental respectively, and the airport code is RTB.
