Tony and Jo's condo Laguna Vista is truly a slice of paradise. The pool and champa with the tiki bar are perfect for lounging on the hot sunny days. The condo is about a 10 minute walk into town and 20 to the local beach! It is relaxing to be a little bit out of the "hussle and bussle" of town. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need. If it doesn't Tony and Jo were great with any request or questions we had! They are great hosts and have great advice and expertise on island life and what to see and do. Stewart hill is a close walk and provides awesome views of the whole island and distant mainland Honduras (Fantastic at sunset!). Jo's favorite restaurant Mango Tango was our favorite as well, but it can get busy so go early! We also loved Rehab bar next to the public beach and Snorkeling down at Coral View. When we get the chance we would love to return and would definitely recommend Laguna Vista!

I'll definitely go back
Awesome place, great and very friendly hosts. Very clean and very comfortable house. The pool is only a few steps away from the door which makes it perfect for when you just want to jump in. The hosts live on the second floor which at first we were worried that they were going to get upset from our loud music, but... Not at all. They are veeery friendly, almost like family and very helpful whenever you have any questions or need help with anything.
Taxi is less than $2 dollars per person. FYI.. if you take a taxi anywhere, and you have to make a stop along the way, the driver will charge you double the rate, per person. So try to negotiate it before you get in.
Next time I go to Utila, I'll definitely stay at Laguna Vista with Tony and Jo.

What a wonderful place!!! The hosts, Tony and Jo are such terrific, big hearted, charming people that definitely know their community and the people well. They treat you like family. The house is beautiful, with plenty of room and with an amazing pool. The island is beautiful and full of activities and the people are so helpful, nice and charming. I loved our short visit to Utila. I highly recommend staying with Tony and Jo at Laguna Vista. They will show you amazing time!!!! I can't wait to visit again!!!

We had a great time at Laguna Vista. Tony and Jo were excellent and interesting. They are really part of the fabric of the Utila community. Our teenage kids completed their open water dive certification early in the week. Most days we would dive in the morning and search for whale sharks or explore the island in the afternoon. We were rewarded on our last day by swimming with 3 whale sharks. Amazing experience. I recommend renting a golf cart.

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Tony & Jo when we visited Utila late July of this year. I should back up a little bit and say that I had rented one of they're apartments for my grand daughter for six weeks so she could complete her instructor diving class's. Not only were they so helpful in working out her financing they did me a favor by looking out for her. We stayed at the Laguna Vista main floor had a beautiful pool steps away from the front door along with a full bar and outdoor grill. If anyone is considering going to this beautiful island don't miss staying with Tony & Jo, you'll feel like you've known them all your life Tim & Sharron

From the moment we landed on Utila Tony and Jo were the hosts with the most! We arrived tired and grimy from over 24hrs of travel and were greeted with a warm welcome and big hugs. They loaded us and our things into their golf cart (which we promptly nicknamed) and the tour began. We arrived at our accommodations and could not have been happier. The home is spacious, nicely decorated, well laid out and comes with all the amenities you could want on a tropical vacation. Every window you look out offers views of tropical plants, jungle or fields. The home was very clean and the beds were super comfy. However, the champa by the pool is so inviting on warm evenings it's impossible to want to sit anywhere else. And the pool itself with its sparkling sweet water is over the top, perfectly refreshing and peaceful to sit by with fountains and all. It's also just the right depth to stand with a bevy! All this made our vacation feel like a tropical paradise and only a few minutes stroll to town. But the very best part of this vacation rental isn't any of this...it's your hosts. From borrowing a phone to call for pizza (even after we weren't staying with them anymore) to answering numerous questions, assisting us in a hotel in San Pedro Sula for our departure, stoking our fridge prior to our arrival, touring us about town and entertaining us with good conversation. Thanks for everything Tony and Jo, you are two amazing people and we hope to visit you again soon!!!

We had the most wonderful stay with Tony & Jo, they took such great care of us! The property is paradise, and the pool is absolutely beautiful. Our three children had such a great time. We loved it so much we decided to stay on the island, as we were warned "once you come to Utila, you may never leave". We love running into Tony & Jo in town, they still take great care of us. Thank you so much for everything! We love you guys:)

Right up the hill from the center of town and right across from the Mango Inn and Treetanic Bar. Cool, shady swimming pool; so refreshing. Perfect tiki hut to loung alone or in a group around the table. Only a 20L "Toc-Toc" (cab) ride to town down the hill, but the walk wasn't even slightly troublesome.
Tony and Jo will make sure you feel great and are having the best time.

Our hosts, Tony and Jo, made our journey to Utila easy and stress free. They prearranged our charter flight from Roatan and we were greeted at the airport with a taxi to drive us to Laguna Vista. As always, the grounds are lovely and the little touches like fresh flowers, were waiting for our arrival. Laguna Vista is definitely the best house on the island to stay. It's a beautiful private resort with the advantage of Tony and Jo available for all your inquiries and needs. We always enjoy visiting our second home and appreciate our hosts and the wonderful people they surround themselves with.

Clean, comfortable, very helpful owners!
Our group of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers) found this very comfortable for a 3 night stay on Utila. It's away from the "town" but easily accessible within a 10 minute walk. The property was clean and well appointed with all the conveniences of home (plenty of towels, dishes, coffee maker, tv, internet, etc.) The owners were very helpful both before and during our stay in providing an introductory tour of town, suggestions for rainy day activities and helping us with last minute travel arrangements. We only wish the weather was better to be able to enjoy the pool more! We would definitely stay here again!

This place delivers true R & R!
The house and property is exactly as advertised.
The hosts are fantastic. They helped us rent a golf cart at a Great discount, arranged private flights to Utila from Roatan and helped with all aspects of our stay on Utila.
The pool and cabana area is definitely the hangout spot at Laguna Vista!

Best vacations ever! Tony and Jo are wonderful hosts. Great place to chill away from the buzz of the main street and also very close to get there when needed. Loved it!

Glug-Glug!! I am not sure if I can TOP this vacation?!
I have been pondering for some time how best to summarize our incredible vacation to Utilia. It starts and finishes with the 5 star (Honduras style that is:) hospitality Tony & the lovely Jo showed us (quite literally, they were there to greet us when we arrived and departed). EVERYTHING and more was arranged even before we arrived. Transportation to Utila from Roatan, beers and groceries in the fridge for when we arrived into our very well appointed Laguna Vista accommodations, romantic catered dinner, scuba diving, island tours and ever important daily insights and recommendations of the "ins and outs", things to do, etc while vacationing in Utila. It is really better than the pictures.My wife and I stayed at both Laguna Vista and The Gardens which were definitely some of the very best accommodations on the entire island - you can truly sense the "pride of ownership" that T&J have in their livelihoods. Without Tony & Jo's ever gracious help, our trip would not have been one of my truly best vacations ever. I don't often say this about all the great destinations I have been fortunate enough to visit (because I crave "new adventures"), but I WILL BE BACK to Utila and that will forever start with Tony & Jo! Please and thank-you Tony & Jo. It is through the two of you that we now have all these fond and wonderful memories. Until our paths cross again. Well done.

Utila extravagance
What to say--great place! Roomy, clean, well lit, good bathroom, well stocked kitchen. I couldn't find a vegetable peeler, and I didn't bring a hair dryer thinking there would be one there. So nice to have a pool to cool off in the afternoon. Be prepared for Spanish speaking taxi drivers, though they give you a cell phone for the week and the taxi listed in the contacts speak English. Easy walk down hill to town, but after snorkeling, eating and drinking it was easier to pay $3 for a taxi back up the hill.

Laguna Vista Utila
My first visit to Honduras was a pleasure due to Tony and Jo! From the moment I stepped on the dock from the ferry I was at home. The lovely Laguna Vista property is located in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to town. Although you are away from the noise of bars and restaurants they are less than a 10 minute walk away. It is also conveniently located to grocery stores within walking distance.
The apartment, and all Tony & Jo's properties are clean and feature air flow from three directions that allows you comfort without running air conditioning. There is cable, free wifi, fresh apple bananas and flowers, clean high quality linens. Purified water is provided in a 5 gallon jug and will be replaced almost before needed. Coffee, sugar and creamer is provided so you can retire to your room upon arrival without worry for the next day.
Tony and Jo are an amazing resource for Utila activities. Tony has done diving all around the island and can hook you up with a dive shop that can provide whatever dive services you require. Some dive shops even pick you up at the properties and drop you off when all is done.

Laguna Vista
We had such a great time staying at Laguna Vista. We were able to walk to town, enjoy a bakery close by and had transportation to the dive shop. We enjoyed the pool and the palapa area by the pool. This was our second trip and we are already planning to return. Tony and Jo were the best hosts.

Nice Change of Pace from the Beach Houses in Utila
Staying on the beach is awesome but at some point it is awesome to move into the village itself; walk the streets and see what Utila Town is all about; for that the Laguna Vista is fantastic, especially if you have small children. Having the pool and the champas makes for a very relaxing way to chill out and de-stress.
