"Our Favorite Honduras Coastal Town" a Tela Travel Page by Slooper

3 days & 2 nights in December was not enough to know this town and area in any depth - but what we saw, we liked very much. We stayed at the big Hotel Villas Telamar west of town and enjoyed walking to town along the beach. We were reassured that beach safety has improved during this past year with the addition of new "tourist police," but one still should not be too careless in any setting.
