Frequently Asked Questions

While you’re always welcome to call or e-mail us, it’s much easier and faster to use our nifty online availability + booking system. To look for rooms & beds, click here.

You can make a reservation online, securely, right here on our website with a credit or debit card by visiting our booking page (click here).

We’d love to host you and it’s entirely possible we still have something available. Send us an e-mail as things can change frequently.

Yes, all of our prices are tax-inclusive, meaning we don’t add any tax on top.

As soon as you complete your reservation and make a deposit online, our online booking system will send you a confirmation e-mail with your booking invoice attached.

In order to confirm your reservation, we will ask for a deposit between 50%-100% up-front, depending on the type of accommodation. If your booking is within 24 hours, we ask for full payment (100%) of your reservation’s total. We ask for this in order to keep things fair for everyone and help keep our prices low.

You won’t need air conditioning at D&D. We are located 650 meters (around 2150 feet) above sea level, meaning the temperature is extremely pleasant at night. In fact, most of our guests find themselves using a blanket by the time they wake up. All rooms do have fans just in case, though.

We have free WiFi available in the restaurant and common area, including the firepit. Remote working? This is definitely a thing–and we have a few power points available in the restaurant for you. Working overnight? Not a problem–we have several folks who have spent a week here teaching English at all hours of the night. Water is available as well 24 hours a day at our free water dispenser in the restaurant.

We sure do!

For one-week stays: we give one free night for a weeklong stay (Pay 6, stay 7 nights)
For one month stays: we give one week free for a monthlong stay (Pay 3 weeks, stay 4)

We sure do keep seeing a lot of people traveling and working remotely. We love it! If you want to have a rainforest view in your “office,” then we’d love to host you. To take advantage of this discount, simply e-mail us at reservations@ddbrewery.com

Yes, there are ATMs that accept Visa and Mastercard located in towns near D&D. This was such a popular question that we created a handy map for you to use on your phone or device: Click here to visit that page.

We accept Honduran Lempiras, US Dollars, and all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express).

That’s a negative, ghostrider. We’d love to help you out but we have no way of converting those notes into Honduran currency. Sorry!

1. As of 2023, we launched our own shuttle service to the Nicaraguan border. Click here to book a ticket! FYI: it’s recommended to book in advance in the high season. This shuttle departs on Fridays from D&D in the morning and will have you in Nicaragua by the early afternoon. Note: it’s not all the way to Leon; we’ve kept the price low (at $25!) and we drop you off at the border. Crossing the border with a shuttle is very difficult and we’re not ready for that yet–but it’s easy to continue onwards to Nicaragua and we’ll have directions ready for you on how to do this.

Approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.

They’re both nearly the same distance from D&D. Without any traffic, San Pedro Sula might be 10 minutes closer but the drive is much easier and more scenic from the new airport.

We’re very excited about this new airport in Comayagua! No matter which one you fly into, though, you can’t go wrong.

The answer has always been “the chicken bus”…until 2018! We now have direct connections with air-conditioned coach buses from Hedman Alas all over Honduras as well as to Guatemala. In addition we have a direct shuttle connections to Nicaragua and El Salvador. Click here to book your tickets! Of course, remember that there are always still the original chicken buses running from San Pedro Sula to Los Naranjos, our village, for a few dollars per person.

Approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Certain sections of San Pedro Sula aren’t ideal–but why on earth would you go there? Despite its “bad rap,” San Pedro Sula has the most modern and efficient bus terminal in Central America. It’s inside of a mall! No need for a taxi. So don’t worry and get on that bus to SPS! You’ll be just fine.

Short answer: It’s only there as an added convenience 🙂 But the cool thing is that you can book your room/bed AND your tickets all at once, on one form. Booking on multiple sites is kind of a pain in the butt, we think, and Honduras needs more tourists. So we’re happy to do the heavy lifting for you.

Long answer: We offer the ability to be able to book coach bus tickets on our website for arriving and departing from D&D to make things easier for you. We don’t really make much from it–we just want to keep travel as stress-free as possible for you. So, you can book tickets and your lodging all at once with one credit card transaction and voila–travel is Honduras just got more simple.

However, if you aren’t certain about your travel dates for Hedman Alas tickets (Honduras and Guatemala) you can always book in person at a terminal if there is space available on the bus. No stress!

Please do note that an advanced booking is required for shuttles and bus tickets–purchases cannot be made the same day of travel.

While there is Malaria present in Honduras, it’s not something we have really ever heard about, ever, around the Lake Yojoa region. Please note that our region is not high-risk infection area.

Given that Honduras is a tropical country, we do always recommend bringing mosquito repellent. You can purchase this at D&D or at a local pharmacy.

We’re pretty honored that you’d blog about us. Blogs are cool. The owner, Robert, used to do this back in 2006 through, like, 2013. Blogs are still really relevant. Check out Substack, for crying out loud, and Medium is also a nifty platform.

We digress. In all seriousness, we see a lot of guests blog or post about us on social media because they had a magical time visiting Honduras–and we just happened to be a part of what went into that experience. We tend to feel that those sorts of posts or writeups are more genuine and likely have, long term, more impact than a post in exchange for something free. Also, our team works hard–and they need to be paid in cash, not in Instagram posts.

But hey, we are also open-minded, so if you are truly one of them newfangled influencers and you have 10,000+ IG, YouTube, or TikTok* followers, we’d be open to a chat. Likewise, if you’re a legit journalist who can show they have been published in an objectively important news/travel/culture outlet, we’d be happy to host you because, let’s face it: this country could use all the good press it can get. We’d be happy to show you how we live in Honduras and why we love this place so damned much.

*China, if you’re reading this, there’s very little of interest on my phone!
