Our AdZENture offers two amazing accommodations during our week in Tela. We start the week off in a beautiful, boutique hotel in the heart of Tela, minutes from the beach. The owner, Norma has designed this place to make each guest feel at home while offering an insight to the unique and rich local culture. The last two nights will be spent at an extraordinary property in the Jeanette Kawas National Park on the West side of Tela bay. This area is a massive mangrove forest home to 330 species of birds. The hotel includes unique fruit trees, an organic farm, and hiking trails into the park.

This unique boutique hotel in Tela is designed with passion and purpose in mind. The owner is passionate about creating a space for guests to feel comfortable and at home. With comfortable rooms and on-site features such as massage and spa treatments, this is a treat for guests that is located in the heart of Tela…walking distance from the beach!

The mission of this property is the conservation, protection, and restoration of natural and cultural resources in the area.

From the initial conception of this unique property, the owners/visionaries designated approximately 50% of the land for a wildlife sanctuary. Since then a great variety of birds, olingo monkeys, iguanas, and many other types of wildlife have repopulated this wooded reserve.

In addition, they have planted approximately 2,000 ornamental plants, 350 fruit trees, 400 coconut trees, 350 cacao trees, 500 plantain, and 1,000 hardwood and lumber trees. Slowly, they are increasing the habitat for more wildlife and converting the once cow pasture and deforested land onto luscious green, shaded areas.

At this property they promote the coexistence of humans and nature. These unique and natural settings allow guests to experience wildlife, natural attractions, and indigenous culture with the minimum intrusion in their habitats.
