The Family Argueta Bourdett (GARBO) would like to invite you to come to the cool cloud forest of Intibuca and regenerate from the stresses of your daily life.  Here you can sit under a shade tree sipping Maracuya (Passion Fruit) from the mountains.  Chances are you have already tasted Passion fruit but the wild ones from the mountains have a more delicious, richer taste.

The Hotel Molino Real is a small hotel in a community in the Western mountains of Honduras. There is no such thing as a a fast pace here.  This tranquil community has existed for hundreds of years with the same culture.  The hotel has been designed with healing in mind.

The Hotel Molino Real is an ecospiritual place.  We are living in a world of stress, of pollution, fears of global warming, worry about the war in  Iraq, terrorism everywhere.  Our world is in need of healing. Each of us needs to heal from all these stresses.  We need a place to retreat from the world, a place to go to have our Spirits renewed, to come close to the Earth, to feel the flow of the Earth's healing touch.

Where will such a place be found? Who is willing to dedicate themselves to creating a place where spirits can be healed, where peace can be found where creature comforts are an integral part of the design?  Where everything we see is in harmony with the spirit of our world? Where you can look out your window and see the forest on the mountains, so close you could touch it?

Such a place has been created in the Mountain cloud pine forest of the Lenca Indian town of La Esperanza (the hope) of Honduras.  This temperate mountain hideaway is unspoiled.  There is not even one traffic light in the small town. The Lenca Indian market carries you back 50 years to the slow small town life of the 1950s in the USA.  And the smiling, caring Lenca Indians give you their hospitality and their welcome.

The Hotel Molino Real (named for the corn meal mill constructed by the Spanish where the hotel now stands) is the creation of the Family Argueta Bourdett, a family of professionals who were born in La Esperanza and formed a group to build this hotel. The family all worked together including brothers, sister, cousins, and other family members. They are all successful in their professions which includes an architect, doctor, judge, etc. And they have worked together in harmony to create this wonderful place of beauty and healing designed to be your place of healing. 

What led the family to create the Hotel Molino Real?  Some of us are blessed with the touch of Spirit.  We get special visions, words, pictures, music or designs by Spirit in its work to heal our world. Such a person is a Spirit Conduit Artist.  A Spirit Conduit Artist is one who sees what others do not seem, hears what others do not hear and feels what others do not hear.  When the family Argueta Bourdett decided to create something, Spirit led them to the creation of a hotel where people could come and be at peace. They were led to create a place of healing for you.
