4 Best Hotels in Trujillo, Honduras' Caribbean Coast

An enormous red chalet roof houses this friendly hotel, restaurant, and spa complex. Clean rooms with colorful artwork overlook the water from the reclusive property just outside town. The owner is licensed in acupuncture and skin-care treatments and offers on-site services. True to its name (Alemania is Spanish for "Germany"), the restaurant serves hearty breakfasts, German sausage lunches, and hamloaf dinners ($$), and the bar is stocked with German and national beers. The hotel picks up guests from La Ceiba or the Trujillo airport.

An absolutely no-frills option, this hotel is well-tended and a good value. Tropical plants furnish a sunken, tile terrace, giving the place a little bit of an Old-World Spanish feel, but for the most part the hotel lacks character. Rooms are plain, with furnishings limited to a bed with lightweight bedspread, a TV, a nightstand, and a clothing rack. The staff is friendly and helpful and can advise about the best places to shop at the nearby public market.

This budget hotel is a five-minute walk from the beach and has neat and basic rooms for groups of two, three, or four. From the balcony, you can see impressive views of smoky-blue mountains to the left and sparkling waters to the right.

Just three blocks uphill from the park, this bright-white hotel has simple, comfortable rooms with private baths and a very welcoming reception and lounge area.
