Casa Alemania

Trujillo

An intimate beachfront hotel with a small number of rooms overlooking the water, a restaurant and German beers.

Trujillo is a quiet port on a wide bay, where Columbus set foot on the mainland in 1502. The Spanish fort, Santa Bárbara, overlooks the water, and the surrounding coast is dotted with Garifuna villages and the Capiro y Calentura national park.

Where to stay

The standout is Casa Alemania, an intimate hotel right on the beachfront with a red-roofed complex, a restaurant and a bar that stocks German and Honduran beers. Fodor's notes there is no Wi-Fi. A modern beach resort, Christopher Columbus Beach Resort, offers sea or mountain views from private balconies, though an airstrip lies at its entrance. Cheaper hotels cluster near the market.

Good to know

Trujillo is remote, about four hours from La Ceiba by road, and visitors usually come as a long add-on to the north coast. Guides and details are dated, so confirm that properties are still open. Check official travel advice before going.
