How Do The Hotels Differ?
As general guidelines:
-Budget private rooms with shared cold water bathrooms start at about 100 lempiras ($5.30 usd) single/130 lempiras ($7.00 usd) double. 
-Add a few dollars for hot water. Basic private rooms with private bathrooms start at about $10 usd single/$12 usd double and add about $5usd for hot water. 
-Nicer more comfortable rooms with private hotwater bath will run from about $20 usd and up, and more upscale rooms will cost about $45 usd and up.
-Many of the dive shops offer discounted or even free rooms if you dive with them. These are generally simpler accommodations, and while preference is given to those diving with the associated shop, they may have space for non-divers.

Is There 24 Electric at All Hotels?
Despite some old information on the web, Utila does indeed have 24 hour electricity now, though not all hotels will have a back up generator.  AC is usually an option at all but the most budget of spots, but you will pay extra and will need to ask in advance.

Availability – Do I Need to Reserve in Advance?
You can generally find a spot to stay in Utila anytime but the most busiest weeks. BUT, if you want  to be sure you have the same room for your entire stay and/or want to stay at one of the more popular hotels, you should call or write ahead to reserve.
 
During holiday weeks (Christmas, New Years, Semana Santa-the week before Easter, and the first week of August with SunJam) the island of Utila really does get completely full. During these weeks, we have seen more folks arriving on Utila than there is space for, so plan in advance!

How To Pick Your Hotel
Many folks come off the ferry in Utila and leave their bags at a nearby dive shop  (there are 5 with offices within 1 block of ferry dock) and then scout out your spot for the night. Since most of the lodging spots are a quick walk from the ferry, you can also find a hotel for the first night and then take some time the next day.

Contacting the Hotels in Utila
Note that most of the smaller hotels / hostels will either not have email addresses, or if they do, they may not get checked regularly.  Keep in mind that most of the budget lodging options are local “mom and pop” type operations, so you will have better luck calling direct or just stopping in at arrival.

Utila Vacation Rentals:
Vacation home and apartment rentals can be ideal for a longer stay (most require 3-4 night minimum, some up to a week minimum).  In almost all cases you will want to reserve in advance for a Utila Vacation Rental, and all have email links. See our separate link for the vacation rentals available on Utila.

Long Term Rentals in Utila:
Looking for a longer term stay or considering a part or full time move here?  Many of the hotels and vacation rentals offer discounts on long term rentals, and you can also take a look at the link “Long Term Rentals”. (coming soon).
