All in all this place was quite comfortable and did the job for our 3 night stay, especially since we just showed up at the place and were lucky to get a room. However, my only complaint was that the place was on military hours or something, as when we arrived about 6:45 PM there was no food available and... More

We stayed in a "cabana" with 2 beds. I have to say that it was the best room of the 3 hotels we checked, but it was pretty basic. We found the biggest spider I have ever seen inside a house. It had some kind of hair so maybe it was a little tarantula? Any way the bedding was torn... More

We have stayed at Villa Helens 4-5 times over the past 4 years (own land at Mango Tree next door). EVERYtime we stay, it just is an easy, laid-back place to stay. Have stayed with the family (4 and 6 y/o's at the time), have stayed with "the guys" on a mans trip...always fits the bill. Just easy living is... More

After reading the reviews I felt confident in the experience and we weren't disappointed. The staff is great and we really enjoyed the relaxation and felt safe. We will definitely be back. More

This was our second time staying in Room 6 at Helens, and we loved it once again. Jack, of course, was wonderful--always cheerful and friendly. The flowers were really beautiful and the grounds, pools, and beach were clean and maintained. The new action item for us was the small herd of cows who made their daily trek down the beach... More

We stay 3 nights at Villa Helen's just after newyears. We really loved the location and thought the staff and owners were terrific. The location is out of the way so you get a Resort-like feel but without the isolation and pretention. We wish we had stayed longer at Villa Helen's and done a daytrip or two to Cayos Cocinos...

I was staying at Helens for a night in august, and I must say that the place was a treat. They have a two rooms on the first floor which is really spectacular - Central American standards considered. The view is great - you can walk directly out on the beach, if you are not found of the pool, and... More

We discovered Helen's on a previous trip through Honduras. Returning from Trujillo we stopped in Sambo Creek to break up the drive back to El Salvador. We had an awful experience at Hotel Canadien (you can read the reviews there) but discovered Helen's, which we tucked away for our next trip. Helen's is run by Helen, Jacques (Jack), and Alain....

We wanted to stay in Sambo Creek to be closeby to partake in the local activities (white water rafting, zip lining and beach walking). Villa Helen's was an excellent choice. It is located right on the beach. We had room no. 5 which had a huge kingsize bed and a very large balcony looking out towards the beach.They have a... More
