Other Areas

[Sky Ryder]

Good day!

I have seen a resort named Players Club or some variation of that posting a lot recently on social media. It seems they are promoting themselves as an almost "all inclusive" resort in the Rotan area that arranges all kinds of activities like golf, scuba, sailing that include a "companion" for a day and evening of fun and frolic for gentlemen. I gather they have a number of local ladies that they have vetted to entertain the guests in all manner of ways. I am curious if anyone has visited this resort or has any knowledge of the level of legitimacy of their advertising. I'll be honest and say I have zero knowledge of what the hobbying options are in Honduras, but I do know they have some great beach resorts and golf courses. TIA.

I'll be in Roatan for a week, diving with the SO but I'll have some afternoons free. Thought I would go into Coxen Hole, see what was going on and if I got lucky use the by the hour place you posted about. Any specific suggestions for where to look or phone numbers?

No worries El Mechanico- not sure when these girls will learn that this is not our first rodeo The nerve of her lying- claiming I didn't pay and yet she kept returning day after day- go figure!

Back in Europe now with a bad jet lag- next business trip to USA likely around end of August or early Sept and if I could manage, will probably hit Quito for a long weekend.

Cheers,

Frankfurt.

Was approached a few times did get one number but, upon making phone contact was pretty pricey and a lot of drama in the background so I passed.

That was in Coxen Hole just sitting on my scooter having a smoke. If any of the ones that approached me were more desirable I would have a much more interesting post but the only one I found "worth" the time was the one I got the number from and like I said was fishing for me to bargain I guess.

There is a hotel on the main drag called the Florence Complex. They rent rooms by the hour, the guy on the gate waved me over when he saw me sitting under the sign taking a pic of it but both ladies standing next to him were not my type. Been spoiled here with Hamilton / Niagara / Mississauga all so close. This was all Coxen Hole.

Went down to the West End and was only approached by two ladies both older and not really very hot. So passed no action for me.

Funny thing though last night taking a shared cab back to resort we passed two pretty young ladies hitchhiking cab driver called them chicas but wouldn't stop. Think his wife was the lady in the front seat with him.

[Bbinsider]

Oh well guess I'll try and use info that is already here and work with that. Hopefully I will have an interesting post or two when I get back.

I'm was there twice in 2018, but couldn't partake I saw a couple local girls that were with american men that were much older hanging out on the beach. In one case it was very obvious as they headed back into one of the resort rooms.

[Adventurer9]

Headed here for Christmas will be in the French Harbour area. Mostly there for snorkelling but, would like to sample some of the local talent if possible.

If anyone can offer some info on the Area I will be in it would be appreciated or if necessary a pointer on where on the Island to visit.

I have read the reports on West End and the action over there so will try that area just not sure of the action during the day or if it is best to head over and get a room for the night.

Thanks for any help / info anyone can pass on.

Frankfurt, great report. I'm sorry you had a tough time with the flaquita. I didn't see this side of her, but they all have issues I guess. She texted me a few days after you left & told me you didn't pay her & I texted her back & told her I didn't believe her. I guess she may have been trying to hitt me up for cash but that never works! HaHa. Sounds like you had a great time. Feel free to give her name & number to anyone you want to. I'll probably never be back to RTN.

[El Mechanico]

but many thanks to El Mechanico
She was almost bipolar bouncing from one end to the other end of emotional spectrum. I asked her to leave as the situation was getting rather concerning. She flipped and started asking about money that if don't love her then I have to pay her! Didn't I pay you the last two days!ow, this girls operates on German time
The flaquita is still obsessed and I am glad she doesn't have my mainline phone number. I had given her my junk google voice number that I use for cases such as hers! I have all notifications turned off and once a day or so I check the number and so far there are 27 missed calls and 4 muffled voicemails from her!

After having the unforeseen good luck in Tegu, I thought it'd be difficult to match that in Roatan but many thanks to El Mechanico (them) for providing me tips and contacts that assured I'd have a good time in Roatan.

Let's pick this up from my departure from Tegu where on way to the airport with my trusted driver, we had just dropped off the flaquita to the mall near the airport after a memorable TLN. I had a last favor to ask my driver! I gave him the number of the girl in Roatan that them had provided me and I asked the driver to call her in couple hours to let her know where to meet me at what time that afternoon. That my friends, started a triangular communication loop between the driver in Tegu, girl in Roatan with no Whatsapp and limited English skills and myself.

Arrival:

Arrived in RTB from Tegu via a short stop in SPS on a nice Avianca turbo prop plane. I had to reluctantly check in my carry-on bag (my only bag) as it exceeded the weight limit of 12-13 Kilograms. Few years ago, after a near death experience in a torrential thunderstorm while flying in Cambodia in dark of the night on a similar French ATR plane, I am still to day skeptical of the propeller planes! I must say, flying in broad day light and sitting on seat next to the propeller, this time the experience was much more pleasant However note that the month after my scary experience in Cambodia, a similar French ATR crashed in Laos killing all on board (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lao_Airlines_Flight_301).

Landed in RTB on a partly cloudy but hot day, turned on the phone and lo and behold, messages piled up from my driver in Tegu that girl in Roatan has agreed to meet me at 1 PM at the hotel restaurant I had suggested. Things have already started to look up!

Taxi, hotel:

Followed them's report and instead of $20 airport cab (same rate offered by hotel), crossed the street after exiting the airport to Thrifty rent-a-car and hopped in a collectivo that stopped by. There was already one guy in front seat, turned out to be an American who moved to Roatan a decade ago and works as a chef. We dropped him off first at his Sandy Bay house on the beach -he gave me his contact in case I needed any help! I will be checking with him as I do have some questions about restaurant business on the island. On way to West End picked up a hippie who I guessed was from Oregon or California but turned out to be a backpacker from London, go figure! Mea culpa stereotyping.

On arriving at my hotel in West End the driver tried to unsuccessfully rip me off with quoting $10 USD -handed him $5, said adios and off I went.

As for hotel mentioned in them's last report, I had also tried to book in Sea Breeze but it was booked out solid for the week for Jul 4. The hot blonde married lady that owns the hotel is a MILF by definition! Sadly even after making couple trips to Sea Breeze just to check her out in person, I never could get hold of her.

Anyhow, I ended up staying at Posada and loved it. Hotel is right across the beach towards the end of the main drag. There is a grocery store right next door. Everything is within walking distance, never had a need for car or taxi. I also liked the hotel setup as there is no front desk or walk of shame haha. However, breakfast was not included in the hotel rate and there was no tele in the room (you know the Copa Mundo fever and all) but the Argentinian Grill downstairs had the tele where I was able to watch some games. Also note that the WiFi was very poor so don't rely on it if you have to do some serious business work from hotel.

Note that you can save a lot (up to 19%) if paying the hotel by cash (HNL or USD) as there is a huge credit card surcharge.

Food & Restaurants:

I found the western style bars and restaurants to be overly priced even by European standards. The 'gringo brekkie' on the Argentinian Grill menu will run you over 245 Lempira not including coffee. So average breakfast at hotel restaurant was around $15-$17.

For breakfast I highly recommend 'Crazy Bean' or something like that -excellent coffee and half the price of hotel restaurant (Argentinian Grill). And they had tele to watch the world cup morning game. The thin morena waitress / barista is cool, speaks perfect English and I had a feeling she was open to 'further dialogue' haha but I didn't indulge besides harmless flirtation.

For dinner, wanted to try Thai restaurant but skipped due to high prices. The best food on the strip is from the food stalls and small locally owned food joints. 'Anthony's Chicken' had really good chicken and fried fish at very reasonable prices. I had dinner there twice. There was another food stall closer to the round-about close 'Coco Loco' store and the two muchachos working there also had great tasting grilled chicken to serve.

One night on chica's request, dined at 'Splash Inn' -that turned out to be a poor choice. I ordered a burger on July 4 that was served rather cold with no onions and french fries that must have been left over from the lunch and reheated -not to mention overly priced. I won't recommend this establishment as the food sucked.

For Baleadas, there was a small joint one house over from my hotel named 'Yahongreh?' haha loved their name and enjoyed their chicken and beef Baleadas served by a mom and her daughter helping out in the tiny kitchen. They also serve breakfast that I didn't try.

As for bars, passed by Sun Downers bar dozens of time but never went it. I mostly stocked up on alcohol from the grocery store next door. Had a few drinks with chica and her loser drunk friends (co-workers) at the Booty Bar but nothing to write home about.

Not much nightlife to speak of in the West End -could be that maybe July is low season? Most of the bars and restaurants were rather empty even at peak hours. The most foot traffic I saw was at the Sun Downer bar.

Chicas:

Day 1:

Within two hours of arrival at the hotel, I was talking to the chica that them had recommended. She showed up at the hotel restaurant where I was having lunch and watching the Colombia game. She is a flaquita in mid 20's with a nice smile, good attitude and lovely jet black thick hair (mixed heritage I gather). She was eager to get to the room and I missed out on the penalty shootout of Colombia vs England game! Haha but all for a good cause.

Before things went too far, I wanted to settle on the terms and condition of our meeting but she wouldn't say and just kept on being touchy feely affectionate -very GFE. I had a rough idea based on them's report on what to offer her at the end of our session but as the plot thickened the 'end' technically didn't really come. She wanted to stay with me the rest of the day (uninvited) haha. After a hot afternoon romp, freshened up and asked chica to go out to walk around. We walked up and down the strip, the back to where the Mangrove and Lands End resort are. Came back to the hotel to watch the sunset from the beach across the street and made some dinner plans. At this point I had a feeling that chica is either getting infatuated or worse. Kept telling me 'te amo, te amo' and my only response was a smile and blank stare hahaha. But she was persistent!

We had dinner at Anthony's, walked down the strip and made a stop at Booty Bar where she wanted to introduce me to two of her friends. I am very polite but the moment I saw her friends, the only word that I could think of was 'losers'. One of them was drunk gordita drinking like a fish, the other was flaquita that I would not have minded inviting over for a threesome if she didn't have a mental issue. We had few drinks, bought her friends some drinks as they unashamedly kept begging for it. Walked back to the hotel and at this point I am thinking that the chica would leave soon. Wrong! She wanted me to open the wine bottle, finished that, moved to bed, had another hot session. At this point I really wanted to go to sleep but she wouldn't signal the end of activities for the evening. Finally around 1 AM she says she has to go to her kids. I was like 'phew' -gave her $60 and called it a night.

Day 2:

The day began rather early, 5:30 AM as it was impossible to sleep with the cacophony of bird tweets! With no specific plans in mind, lazied around the hotel, made some work calls and headed to leisurely breakfast at nearby cafe that had excellent coffee, good service and good WiFi to boot. I was talking to an american girl sipping her Chai in bikini until her parents showed up and weren't too keen on what they saw hahaha. Lot of american families having breakfast that were apparently staying in attached hotel.

It was starting to rain, headed back to the hotel and waited out the thunderstorm until about lunch time. Back on the main drag looking for lunch options and hear someone calling my attention 'hey where you goiing' -looked behind and a morena was all smiley trying to chat me up. I said vamos a caminar why hablamos. I knew where this was heading, question was of pre or post lunch Ended up having Baleadas with the morena -quite a chatter bug that didn't understand the virtues of silence. Offered her $40 for massage and whatever follows and headed back to hotel. Morena was a bit on curvy side but was enthusiastic during the proceedings. She didn't have mobile phone so didn't exchange numbers. On subsequent days I did see her on the main drag. Actually one time she was eating at the same street shack where I and flaquita from the first night were eating. Awkward! To her credit she just nodded and nothing beyond that.

At 3 PM I started getting messages from my driver in Tegu that flaquita is calling him to ask him to ask me to call her. Ok yes sir, call flaquita -she answers 'hola amor what you doing, I go 4 PM' -I say 'a donde', she says 'hotel'. Ok come on over WTH.

This triangular sequence of events and their outcome will repeat for next two days.

Chica flaquita showed up at 4 PM island time (past 5 PM but I got nothing much going on so no big deal). We rolled around in bed working up the appetite for dinner. This is July 4th and firecrackers are going off. She tells me there will be fireworks at Inifinity Bay I had no idea what or where that is and passed on the offer but I did want to have an american classic for dinner She recommended Splash Inn but the food was ho hum at best. On the stroll back it started pouring again, waited out in a shed huddled and making out like teenagers haha, picked up couple bottles of wine and retreated to the hotel. Someone started blowing up her phone, turns out it is her loser friend from the first day and without asking my permission the flaquita invites her over. Short while later the loser friend obviously inebriated shows up with the other flaquita. I kept the crowd outside the room and told them to hang out on the deck. Not two minutes had passed by and the begging to buy them beer started. After three rounds of buying them drinks I had enough of their loud indistinguishable chatter and told my flaquita to have her friends take a walk. Then they started asking for $5 each for taxi -ok WTF here you go and off you go!

As a punishment for my chica that night I had her do BBBJCIMWS I thought that was a fare deal to have me put up with her gang of drunk friends. We fell asleep and around 4 AM she wakes me up to leave for home. I gave her $80 and said good byes.

Day 3:

5:30 AM rolls around, same story as the previous day, birds wouldn't shut up On top of that, woke up to an urgent email from my bank titled 'Fraud Alert' that someone tried to use my debit card online to make purchase in Italy! WTF? Scrambled to call the bank and turns out the charge was made but not authorized but nevertheless since the number was compromised, I had to cancel the card. Not a promising start to the day as I didn't have a lot of cash left for next 48 hours or so. I am sure my card was skimmed either at Tegu airport or the one on the main drag in West End at 'Unicredit' ATM. I went down to talk to hotel manager about the incident and she told me that that particular ATM is not recommended to use -duh too late to tell me that now!

For today decided to take a boat ride to West Bay. After breakfast hopped on to water taxi -$3 one way if two or more people, $10 for solo ride. Shared a short ride with an american couple to West Bay, lounged around, did some souvenir shopping and headed back to West End. A lot more people and hoopla at West Bay but nothing extraordinary worth staying more than couple hours.

Back in West End, walking back to the hotel see this tall morena with short short hair shouting 'masaje masaje'. As my sore muscles can always use a massage, I struck up a conversation with her as what was on my mind was more than a boring massage! She wants $20 for half hour massage, I said where, she points to some chairs on the beach. I said how about we go to my hotel instead There was no hesitation in her yes response and I knew the game was on. Walked back to the hotel, sat on the bed and she pulls out little bottle of her massage oil. I put my hands on her thigh and said actually what I really have in mind was to fuck you -I couldn't have put it more politely She gasped, put her hand on her heart and before she could say anything I was deep kissing her juicy DSL lips. Things heated up fast, ended up in shower together with some major foreplay. Loved sucking her pencil eraser dark nipples and playing with her wet pussy in shower.

Had a great session with the tall sensual morena and the great thing she wasn't clingy like the daily-flaquita! Exchanged phone numbers with promise of meeting again (and meant it). Paid her $45 which she happily accepted.

4 PM rolls around, same routine as before, phone calls back and forth, 6 PM flaquita shows up dressed in red top and tight jeans. Gives me an instant boner but I was starving so offered her to go out for dinner. This was my last night in town. We had dinner, followed by another bottle of wine back in the room. Flaquita started getting all emotional and crying over the fact that I was leaving the next day. Kept trying to convince me that she loves me blah blah and if I love her in return. I tried to explain to her that 'no'! But it was like trying to convince a 4 year old that there is no Santa Claus. She was almost bipolar bouncing from one end to the other end of emotional spectrum. I asked her to leave as the situation was getting rather concerning. She flipped and started asking about money that if don't love her then I have to pay her! Didn't I pay you the last two days! I had my last stash of cash saved up for her last day anyways, gave her 2200 Lempiras but now instead of leaving, she wants to fuck, WTF! I said that it best that she leaves and gently show her the door.

The night ends on somewhat of a down note but I was glad to have the emotional wreck out of my room.

Final Feliz:

My flight was in the afternoon and since the birds and I were up at 5:30 AM, I texted the morena from yesterday afternoon. I didn't expect a reply but it was worth a try. Lo and behold, got a response at 7 AM that she would arrive at 7:45 AM That didn't take a lot of work I suppose. I tell her to meet me at hotel at 8:30 or if she rolls in earlier to drop by at cafe for breakfast. Just as I am finishing breakfast, she texts she is at hotel. Wow, this girls operates on German time Much like the previous day, she was dripping wet between her legs and eager to get out of her clothes. Had a great last session in Roatan with fucking her perito and the sight of it in bathroom mirror was awesome! Gave her $50 and said our good byes.

Headed to the airport, taxi wanted $20, $15 and I only literally had the last $5 bill in cash on me At this point I was drained out of both leche and dinero haha. Stood at the round about until one taxi guy was eager to accept $5. I had over 3 hours to my flight and it didn't matter that he took a different newer road towards Coxen Hole, picked up, dropped passengers along the way including two Delta workers also heading to the airport. I got a free tour of the rest of the island and made it to the airport with ample time to write this up.

In summary I found Roatan to be rather lacking in activities besides diving and snorkeling and since I am not into either activity, there wasn't a lot to kill time. Having world cup football games on made the mornings go by fast but I found it rather boring during afternoon. I didn't see a lot of chicas out on stroll or in bars as most were empty even around 9 or 10 PM. On Friday there were some more chicas on stroll but in 4-5 range on the 10 scale. Safety wise, felt completely safe walking around on the main drag in West End, can't speak for rest of the island.

I don't see Roatan as a destination place for return trips-and if at all I return, will head to Utila or Cayos Cochinos.

P. S: The flaquita is still obsessed and I am glad she doesn't have my mainline phone number. I had given her my junk google voice number that I use for cases such as hers! I have all notifications turned off and once a day or so I check the number and so far there are 27 missed calls and 4 muffled voicemails from her!

Thanks El Mechanico for the follow up responses. Roatan is on my to do list for this year when I make it out to USA next and hop from there for long weekend or so. I survived El Salvador so I think I can manage Roatan with usual common sense I. E. Not taking a stranger chica to ATM to withdraw cash or leaving my expensive mobile phone unattended.

And yes thanks for sharing the contacts -you rock.

Never once felt threatened or in danger nor did I see any kind of trouble anywhere walking around. I left my phone on a counter top in the pharmacy next to the SeaBreeze & returned 3 min later & of course it was gone. The cajera blamed it on the gringa that walked in behind me so it was either one of those 2. Oh well, I needed an upgrade anyway. My fault but it still doesn't give then the right to be dishonest. I talked to one guy who said some chica was helping him withdraw $ from an ATM & tried to grab the cash and run away to an awaiting car, but only got 1000 L ($42 USD) of the 2500 L he withdrew. What he was doing letting a chica help him at the ATM, I have no Idea!

Well done El Mechanico! How was the 'safety' situation on night strolls? It seems on the map that Sea Breeze is about 25 minutes by Taxi from Roatan airport-does that seem right?

If you still have the whatsapp contacts for the flaquita chica (s), please inbox me if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks for the report to bring some life to an otherwise dead Honduras forum!

25 min is about right from the airport to the Sea Breeze. Just stand firm on the $5 ride. While there I took a cab back into town to visit a chica I met on SA & the cabbie charged me 230 Lempiras or $10 USD. I told the girl this & she told me I was ripped off. When it was time for me to go back she negotiated the fare with another cabbie & I was only charged 100 Lemps or just over $4 USD. So for the 4 trips back and forth to the airport / town, I was charged $5 USD, 230 Lemps, 100 Lemps & another $5 USD. When leaving to catch my return flight, one cab stopped & I asked him how much to the airport & he said $10 USD. I countered with $5 USD & he said no so I gently closed his door, walked to the car behind him which was another taxi & offered $5 USD & he accepted. So there will always be someone in line to take the $5 if someone tries to give you the gringo price. I'll message my little flakas to see if its ok to give you their # & pm you if its ok & I don't see why it wouldn't be!

Good report.

My feelings about Roatan are the same. In fact the whole Island seems like its trying to be too cool. It's not quite a Cancun, Punta Cana or Cabo San Lucas with mega resorts and openly touristy. However, its also not a hidden gem. It is kind of in the middle. Its a fringe tourist destination while trying too hard to be low key and off the beaten path. As far as the fishing I think you need to go a little further off shore and go during the season. They have a marlin, mahi, yellow fin tuna season. You might have been there in the off season so they took you to the reef to make sure you caught something. Sounds like you still met some chicas and made the most out of the available options.

Honduras 4/26- 5/1/2018.

Transportation: United flight was very easy from Houston albeit quite a bit expensive. It was almost $700 for a three hour flight. However, I did not have to deal with La Ceiba and another plane or worse, a boat from La Ceiba to Roatan. That would've added at least two or three hours to my trip each way and cost another $150-$200. Not worth the extra time or the cost to fly cheaper to the mainland and then get a commuter flight or a boat / ferry. Also when I was leaving I was watching the departure board and half of the flights to the mainland were canceled. I am assuming they were canceled because they did not have enough people to justify the flight. So that's another reason not to fool with the commuter flight from the mainland to Roatan and back. If you go, do not take a taxi right outside the airport. Walk 100 yards across the street to the Thrifty Rent-A-Car center. Wait for a cab and get a $5 ride down to West End or West Bay. The cabs at the airport want $25. The cabs on the street want $5 USD. There is no need for a taxi if you're staying in West End or West Bay, everything is within a 5-8 min walk. If you want to go to West Bay from West End or vice versa, they have a water taxi for $3 USD or 69 Lemps. They will wait until you there are at least three people on the boat to make the trip. If you have to, you can just pay them $9 and they will take you by yourself. It is about an 8 to 10 minute boat ride.

Lodging: I booked a room through booking.com at the Sea Breeze Inn which is right in the heart of West End. Kevin and Sandra are awesome, very nice people, maid service was excellent, air-conditioner was perfect, room is safe and secure however no in-room safe was furnished. My room came with a microwave, coffee pot, toaster and a hot plate which I did not use, and a mini fridge, which I did use. Wi-fi available but a bit sketchy & slow most of the time.

Fishing: If you want to come here for fishing you will be disappointed. Friday we landed six blackfin tuna and pulled up 2 yellow eye snapper, on Saturday we only managed to land one snapper and one barracuda. That's about as good as it got from what I heard from anybody else that went fishing. All of the tuna and the yellow eye snapper would have been illegal here in the states, because they were too small. I had the restaurant, the Cannibal Caf, which is in front of the Sea Breeze, deep fry the two yellow eye snapper on Friday for lunch. OMG, some of the best fish I've ever eaten in my life probably because it was swimming 4 hrs earlier. Basically all we did was drag baits up and down the reef for four hours. Extremely overpriced and not productive.

FOOD: I mostly ate a local food called Balleados, which is basically a big tortilla shell with a base of beans and then chicken, avocado whatever else you wanted on it. Very very good, made fresh everywhere I ate them. Also had the fried yellow eyed snaper three days in a row for lunch. Had the chicken wings at the Booty Bar which were pretty good. One local dish I saw in Punta Gorda on my day trip Sunday, was called Machuca. It is a coconut-based broth with seafood, 1/2 crab and vegetables in it. It looked very good however I did not sample it but wish I would have. From the looks of it and the description one of the owners of the restaurant was telling me, it reminded me of a dish in Brazil call Muceca, which had the same coconut-based broth and lots of seafood and vegetables in it. Oh well put that on the list for next time, if there ever is a next time.

Chicas: sitting at the restaurant in front of the hotel Thursday night pretty tanked up due to travel lag and several drinks and several shots of Kahla, a Fat girl walks by starts talking to me offering a massage, BJ, total sex etc. Etc. So I take her up on it for $80 US, go back to my room I was so tanked up I couldn't perform. Later that night when I was walking back to the hotel on the main street "the boulevard", I see this skinny little creole looking girl and start talking to her and she tells me to come by the store that she works at the next day. So I go by the next day after fishing and she wasn't there but other girl told me that she would be there at 2 PM. I went to the hotel shower and had a nap then had the two snapper deep fried by the restaurant and brought them down to the little tourist store where the skinny creole girl was working and had lunch with her and one of her coworkers at a bench outside the store. She offered her number and told me to give her a call for later on. I did and we hooked up and it was on! Nice tight little body, awesome shower, massage and total sex. She didn't even ask for money, she did ask for a little help with the taxi so I gave her about $42 USD (L500). We hooked up again the next night and it was just as awesome. Gave her about $80 USD that night even though she didn't ask for it. The place to be at Sunset is at a bar called the Booty Bar, they have a main bar with a dance floor and across the street on the beach side of the Boulevard they have a little coconut hut looking place where you can sit and have drinks. The girls walk up and down the the street and you can talk to them offer them a drink or just go talk to them and bring them home and negotiate whatever. 90% of these girls weigh more than you and I put together. However Sunday afternoon I saw a little skinny thing that weighed about 90 pounds, very good looking so I negotiated a $50 shower, massage and sex session with her. It was freaking awesome. Great attitude, very good looking no boobs whatsoever but a beautiful ass. That was a $50 session, hooked up with her again on Monday afternoon for another awesome session. I think I gave her about $60 US this time. She came back over Tuesday morning early like 6:30 AM for another great session before my flight out. Her birthday was two days later so I gave her I think $100. I know, I know, I overpaid!. But she did show up at 6:30 AM the session was great and it was her birthday coming up on 5/3.

Money exchange: I used US dollars to pay for the fishing charters and everything else was paid for in Lempiras which I got 23 Honduran Lempiras to $1 USD at the ATMs.

Take home message for you guys is, if you go there for snorkeling and scuba diving you will have an awesome time. Don't waste your time to go there for fishing or mongering! It is just not worth it. I don't scuba dive or snorkel but there are a gazillion dive shops that have daily tours, some of them two or three trips a day. Almost everybody else was over there to go diving or snorkeling.

Good report.

My feelings about Roatan are the same. In fact the whole Island seems like its trying to be too cool. It's not quite a Cancun, Punta Cana or Cabo San Lucas with mega resorts and openly touristy. However, its also not a hidden gem. It is kind of in the middle. Its a fringe tourist destination while trying too hard to be low key and off the beaten path. As far as the fishing I think you need to go a little further off shore and go during the season. They have a marlin, mahi, yellow fin tuna season. You might have been there in the off season so they took you to the reef to make sure you caught something. Sounds like you still met some chicas and made the most out of the available options.

Honduras 4/26- 5/1/2018.

Transportation: United flight was very easy from Houston albeit quite a bit expensive. It was almost $700 for a three hour flight. However, I did not have to deal with La Ceiba and another plane or worse, a boat from La Ceiba to Roatan. That would've added at least two or three hours to my trip each way and cost another $150-$200. Not worth the extra time or the cost to fly cheaper to the mainland and then get a commuter flight or a boat / ferry. Also when I was leaving I was watching the departure board and half of the flights to the mainland were canceled. I am assuming they were canceled because they did not have enough people to justify the flight. So that's another reason not to fool with the commuter flight from the mainland to Roatan and back. If you go, do not take a taxi right outside the airport. Walk 100 yards across the street to the Thrifty Rent-A-Car center. Wait for a cab and get a $5 ride down to West End or West Bay. The cabs at the airport want $25. The cabs on the street want $5 USD. There is no need for a taxi if you're staying in West End or West Bay, everything is within a 5-8 min walk. If you want to go to West Bay from West End or vice versa, they have a water taxi for $3 USD or 69 Lemps. They will wait until you there are at least three people on the boat to make the trip. If you have to, you can just pay them $9 and they will take you by yourself. It is about an 8 to 10 minute boat ride.

Lodging: I booked a room through booking.com at the Sea Breeze Inn which is right in the heart of West End. Kevin and Sandra are awesome, very nice people, maid service was excellent, air-conditioner was perfect, room is safe and secure however no in-room safe was furnished. My room came with a microwave, coffee pot, toaster and a hot plate which I did not use, and a mini fridge, which I did use. Wi-fi available but a bit sketchy & slow most of the time.

Fishing: If you want to come here for fishing you will be disappointed. Friday we landed six blackfin tuna and pulled up 2 yellow eye snapper, on Saturday we only managed to land one snapper and one barracuda. That's about as good as it got from what I heard from anybody else that went fishing. All of the tuna and the yellow eye snapper would have been illegal here in the states, because they were too small. I had the restaurant, the Cannibal Café, which is in front of the Sea Breeze, deep fry the two yellow eye snapper on Friday for lunch. OMG, some of the best fish I've ever eaten in my life probably because it was swimming 4 hrs earlier. Basically all we did was drag baits up and down the reef for four hours. Extremely overpriced and not productive.

FOOD: I mostly ate a local food called Balleados, which is basically a big tortilla shell with a base of beans and then chicken, avocado whatever else you wanted on it. Very very good, made fresh everywhere I ate them. Also had the fried yellow eyed snaper three days in a row for lunch. Had the chicken wings at the Booty Bar which were pretty good. One local dish I saw in Punta Gorda on my day trip Sunday, was called Machuca. It is a coconut-based broth with seafood, 1/2 crab and vegetables in it. It looked very good however I did not sample it but wish I would have. From the looks of it and the description one of the owners of the restaurant was telling me, it reminded me of a dish in Brazil call Muceca, which had the same coconut-based broth and lots of seafood and vegetables in it. Oh well put that on the list for next time, if there ever is a next time.

Chicas: sitting at the restaurant in front of the hotel Thursday night pretty tanked up due to travel lag and several drinks and several shots of Kahlúa, a Fat girl walks by starts talking to me offering a massage, BJ, total sex etc. Etc. So I take her up on it for $80 US, go back to my room I was so tanked up I couldn't perform. Later that night when I was walking back to the hotel on the main street "the boulevard", I see this skinny little creole looking girl and start talking to her and she tells me to come by the store that she works at the next day. So I go by the next day after fishing and she wasn't there but other girl told me that she would be there at 2 PM. I went to the hotel shower and had a nap then had the two snapper deep fried by the restaurant and brought them down to the little tourist store where the skinny creole girl was working and had lunch with her and one of her coworkers at a bench outside the store. She offered her number and told me to give her a call for later on. I did and we hooked up and it was on! Nice tight little body, awesome shower, massage and total sex. She didn't even ask for money, she did ask for a little help with the taxi so I gave her about $42 USD (L500). We hooked up again the next night and it was just as awesome. Gave her about $80 USD that night even though she didn't ask for it.
