This was unique. Right on the beach. The sound of the surf all Day and night. The host was friendly. More like a family run B&B. Great cooking natural menu. Lots of beach time. Quite,Primitive Undeveloped area.

Todo me gustó. El sitio tiene encanto y caes en la misma playa. Tranquilidad. También muy agradecido del trato de Carolina y sus hijas. Muchas gracias y repetiremos.

My girlfriend and I had been driving all day coming from El Salvador. We found the Caribbean in on Expedia and booked a room through the app. We spent well over an hour attempting to locate this place. The neighborhood it’s in was sketchy at best. Although it’s no fault of the establishment, between Google maps and iPhone maps we were unable to successfully locate it. I believe we may have driven past it a few times however the real issue was that there was no signage nor lighting that designated whatever building may have been the Caribbean in as a hotel. My sincere advice to the owners and/or administration is to set up a sign and a light so the travelers can locate your establishment. When I went to cancel the reservation through Expedia I was informed that it was a nonrefundable reservation. Via the Expedia customer service representative I was notified that the administration was offering to help us find the location and conversely was also willing to refund our money. At that point we were already 30 km away so we opted for the refund. I would have provided more stars in the review had we been able to actually locate the hotel

A beautiful escape

I stayed at this lovely family-owned inn for four days, from Dec. 13-17. The owner Emilio and his wife Caroline and their children, are incredibly kind, attentive and helpful. The breakfast is plentiful and buffet style so you eat as much as you like and the Caroline cooks delicious meals for lunch and supper on demand. Located right on the beach, this is the perfect place to escape to relax. You can walk for kilometers along the beach in both directions without coming across another person. In other words, the inn is quite secluded (about 15 minutes from Tela city centre by taxi) and the only shops nearby are tiny local businesses with a very limited selection. The area is a Garifuna village and it is very poor. I never felt unsafe, but it's not a place where you could walk around flashing valuables. The inn was built by the family and every inch of it has a personal touch of some kind, such as an ornament or painting, etc...If you're looking for a quiet place to read, relax and breath a little, this is the perfect spot.
