Tela is located within
the department of Atlantida, of which La Ceiba,
located 100 km. east is the capital. Tela has
become famous for its beaches, however, there
is much more to Tela than beaches. The home base
for the Tela Railroad Company for many years,
owners and producers of the famed Chiquita bananas,
Tela retains the air of a true banana town.
The Villas Telamar hotel
complex was actually the living quarters to many
the executives of the banana company. The Lancetilla
Gardens is but one of the many assets left behind
by the company that has since moved its quarters
to La Lima, just outside of San Pedro Sula.
