The genesis of Paraíso Rainforest and Beach Hotel begins a century ago through the story of great-grandfather Emilio Morales, who as a forensic doctor for the Cuyamel Fruit Company, chose the village of El Paraíso, which at that time was a remote, poor and virgin village, but endowed with natural beauty, for his usual residence.

It was there that the patriarch laid the foundation for future generations of Morales families in the area. For a long time, El Paraíso did not experience significant tourism development due to its difficult access, with the exception of the few residents of San Pedro Sula who owned summer homes there and had the patience to reach them. One of those families was the Morales brothers, Enrique and Roberto, sons of Don Emilio. Always blessed by the abundant water flowing from the mountains, the lands of El Paraíso enjoyed perpetual greenery, where gardens were always in bloom, and fruit and tropical trees sheltered beautiful birds that, to this day, sing symphonies from dawn till dusk.
