Opinions on the Omega Lodge

Guys, you have all been so helpful and I whole-heartedly thank you for your effort and kind replies. I think it may be a good idea to go!

Maybe the Bamboo Cabin is new - I don't remember that one. I think when we were there in 2006 there were just the dorm rooms, the Creek Cabin (where we stayed) and the 2 jungle suites.

If you're on any kind of a budget make sure to pay attention to how much you're spending on food and drink, as it's all on a tab system. I enjoyed my stay, but was shocked at the bill at the end. I THOUGHT I was paying attention and being careful, but it sure added up fast. $80US for one person for one night (in the dorm) with one hike, food (I didn't drink anything but water and lunch was included with the hike), and one load of laundry. Between that and the cab fare to get there, it ended up as expensive as a day/night in West Bay (Roatan) staying at Las Rocas with all of my food and everything.

hopefulist - I believe the bamboo cabin is one of the jungle suites you're talking about. It has 2 levels with 2 beds and a private bath. The pictures are gorgeous! Does anyone know if there is 24hour electricity?

Yes, at least when we were there.

We just got back from the most incredible 13 day trip to La Moskitia with Udo, two of his guides (Al and Kurt) and it was absolutely amazing. I'd never done white water rafting before but my partner had and so we wanted to go to the best place, both safety wise and in terms of having fun. Having looked around at other companies we decided on Omega and it was without doubt the best decision. We spent almost two weeks travelling across Honduras and down the Rio Platano. Udo has done the trip so many times and knows Honduras so well we learned a lot about the wildlife and the country. We saw parots, hawks, eagles, monkeys, jaguar footprints, snakes as well as caves with artefacts and petroglifs. It was tough going but Udo and his team made sure that not only did we get through it but also had fun! He also made sure we were well fed!
We having been travelling through Central America now for over 3 months and still have 9 more to go but I have no doubt that this trip will be one of our bests memories. If anyone else is thinking of heading to Omega, do it! And if you get the chance (despite the expense) do the trip to La Moskitia!!
