    Azul Beach Hotel

    Hi all. Going to Azul Beach Hotel for a family wedding. Probably not our style of place in the absence of the wedding, but I'm looking for any local operators that will pick up and/or drop off to the beach at the hotel along with any suggested operators. Thanks in advance for any help or...

    Bay Islands advice for experienced divers

    Listen to doc. He knows. Separately, if sharks are your thing, the Bay Islands are not. We've got all the deep diving you want to do, but what's the point? If you want sharks, really sharks, hit the cocoa or the Galapagos. But with only a few years diving I'd suggest getting some more dives...

    Utila - What is your favorite place to stay and dive?

    Henry, Laurence is correct. Most of the south shore rentals offer transport on request as well as provisioning etc. We even offer our own dive master, boat captain and boat. Separately, the pineapple house and the coral house to our west are just adjacent to UtilaCays diving. With the...

    Anybody been to Turquoise Bay Resort?

    The statement that you can eat lobster every day if you want is perhaps theist disturbing one I've read here yet.

    Dive destinations without any cruise ships?

    Rostan Man, I sort of agree. It's a tough issue to be sure. There are a few places I can think of that have realized that if you allow people with good money to catch the same fish over and over, rather than eating or selling everyone you can catch that there is value and sustainability on...

    Shallow and slow on the South side of Roatan

    This is a great thread for lots of reasons. It is so true that in the bay islands you don't need to go deep or fast to see everything. Like the south shore of roatan the south shore of Utila gets long days of sunlight and so the opportunity for simply watching one small patch of reef (or sandy...

    Started a blog about living in Utila

    I agree. Great read. You are probably spending alot of time with new students out in front of our place on the south shore. See the link below and I suspect you'll recognize the dock. We'll be down for a while in the spring and I'm happy to buy you a beer when I am. Great publicity for a my...

    Utila in April-Any Help?

    Eric, Some additional information would be helpful. Do you want to stay in a resort setting or are you looking for budget accomodations or do you prefer a house? When you say a few divers, do you mean 3 or 10? April is indeed a great time for whale sharks but go hoping to see them, not...

    Advice on Moving to Roatan

    This is so true. Great book and it's spot on even decades later. We've owned on Utila (Home Page) for years and it's a fantastic experience but you are not in kansas anymore. That's for sure. Great advice on this thread.

    Commuter airline to Utila

    its all about how you want to spend your vacation time. In my mind the extra funds, 150 or 500usd to rtb and then the flight over via guanaja air is well worth it. 6am departure from Dallas and on my beach by 2.

    relocating to utila in april

    I do and more. Again, your email was clear in what you were doing. Since you know all about the requirements and could clearly answer you own musings, why not just make a post setting it out rather than asking someone else to do it. Because you were trying to call someone out.

    Name calling when you get busted. Mature. Re-read your own post. What you were doing is clear.

    relocating to utila in april

    RTB Diver, I usually stay out of the fray, but you are showing your ass and your ignorance. Captain Angelo(lagonia) runs Guanaja Air. Everything he does is above board. He has one of the nicest planes and most reliable charter services between rtb-uti-ceiba-sps-guanaja. His plane flies with a...

    need information on Utila

    A couple of quick thoughts. If you want to make it to Utila in one day, I suggest seeing if you can change your flight to come through Roatan (RTB). If you come in on the continental flight through houston, you can catch a puddle jumper flight over that same day. The flight into Roatan is...
