We have food available onsite, prepared by a trained chef, that serves American and Honduran Cuisine. We have fresh fried fish, which is what this region of the country is known for, while also having an ample array of dishes for all palates. There is a fixed menu for visitors, but if you contact us we can send you additional meal options if you are looking to hold a special event here or if you are planning meals for a large group. Our hotel has 7 rooms, all of which have been recently renovated. While we do not have A/C in any rooms, we will soon have at least three rooms with A/C by the end of the year. Thankfully though, much of the year A/C is not required thanks to the shady river that winds through the property. The property has plenty of spots where you can hang up a hammock and relax or you could just find a cool pool in the river for the afternoon. The property has been specifically built with retreats and groups in mind. Their is a large event hall that fits more than one hundred people, as well as numerous smaller areas where groups of 10 to 15 people can easily gather together. The river also has a seated area which makes it a perfect spot for ministries looking for a place to hold retreats for all ages. El Camino down to Honduras several groups a year, which use this property as a base of operations for the work that we do within the community. With just a few weeks a year reserved for our own groups, we spend much of the remaining year adapting to the needs of the many groups, families and individuals that use our facilities. The funds that these visitors leave allows El Camino to further grow the reach of its projects in the surrounding communities.
