My adult daughter and I are planning a trip for this December. I've read some of the reviews about AKR and CCV, and have a few questions.
First, are there any issues with weather or conditions in December? I thought I read somewhere that the conditions at CCV weren't great in December, and they may dive from a different location. (I hope I didn't imagine reading that).
Second, are there any tips for getting there? We have a strong preference for American Airlines, which has limited flights to Coxen Hole. Fares are a lot cheaper to San Pedro Sula, but how hard is it to get to and take the ferry to Roatan?
Third, if we end up flying into San Pedro anyway, should we seriously consider Utila in December? I gather it's more geared to the budget crowd, but I'm several decades past my days staying in hostels. Any recommendations for nice but inexpensive hotels and dive ops?
Finally, I'm looking for any and all advice. My daughter and I had hoped to do BVI on the Juliet, but that trip was sold out.
Thanks in advance!
