This cosy hostel in San Pedro Sula makes guests feel welcome with homemade traditional meals in its communal kitchen. Cook and “culinary adventurer” Tesla Oviedo offers fresh and healthy fare including ceviche (pictured, served in a papaya), stir fries, and traditional Honduran meals of rice, beans and vegetables. Perhaps most popular are La Hamaca’s barbeque nights, where guests sip cold beer and cocktails while Oviedo grills meat and seafood on the hostel’s outdoor terrace. (Walter Bibikow/Getty)
