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!

Frankfurt.

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.

I had quite a different experience but, maybe we were in different areas. As is the case in any major city in the world there are bad areas and good. We stay at the Intercontinental in Colonia Eugenia which is basically the city center. It is near the new mall, the Hilton Princess, Palace Hotel, Casino, brand new Hospital, Chili's, Tony Romas, etc. Nearby is all the top clubs and bars. The Strip clubs, Brothels and casas were all nearby and all somewhat upscale. If you stick to this general area I think you will feel a great sense of safety.

I went down there to meet a chick. She met me at the airport and we drove to Tela and found a resort to stay at there. We came back to SP and I had to stay there one night. We stayed at the Intercontinental as well. I asked her what she usually does on the weekends and she said everybody stays in the house because it is too dangerous to be out. (My brother also said it is dangerous there. When I was in the Navy in the early 90s, I worked with a Marine that was stationed at the Embassy there and he had to kill some people that were climbing over the wall. He never would talk about it though.) It was Saturday afternoon when we got back to the city and there were a few people out and light traffic, but at like 5 pm the streets emptied.

A while later after I got back she told me that she was pregnant. I told her that was great news. She asked when I was coming back. I told her soon. She got angry and said I didn't care about her and stopped talking to me. Like I give a fuck. I had a vasectomy anyway, so if she was pregnant it definitely was not mine!

I have posted a couple times in the Tegucigalpa section about my experiences there if you care to go over and read my reports. There are not many postings so you probably only have to scroll back a page or two to find them. I am not sure what you are into but, in San Pedro Sula, I went to a Casa and a few Strip clubs. The pink pussycat is the best. It was expensive by Honduras standards but, still within reason and some high quality talent. The casas were hit or miss on different nights. The thing that draws me back to San Pedro is I love to go white water rafting and the best white water rafting I have ever done is close to La Ceiba. So I usually spend a few days in San Pedro and a couple near the mountain rafting. If the rafting was not there I probably never would have gone to San Pedro. There is really nothing unique about the city and the mongering is average or a little below for a major city in Central America. However, with that being said It is the best mongering with the best looking girls out of any city in Honduras but, again nothing I would advise going out of the way for.

By the way the long nights of mongering at the bars like Lips, Kairos, Emporium, Fuego, Blue etc in San Salvador is exactly what I love about the place. So much to do any so many options for a night owl like me.

Great Response. Thanks for taking the time to write it out.

Maybe I can come up with another reason to visit Honduras to make it worth the trip. Rafting was a great idea.

[Mfins]

Can you please tell us why and what options are available? Any experience in the capital?

I think El Salv is great for mongering but those are some very long evenings down there with nothing to do besides a bar.

No it is not. I went this time last year. People don't even go out on the weekend because it is so dangerous. My brother keeps going to a place called Comaygua. He said it is about an hour and a half from Tegucigalpa.

I can not speak for the rest of the city but, I am sure there are gang infested areas you want to avoid. The area I was in was very modern with plenty of police presence and people walking, shopping and mingling about. I actually come away from the trips feeling as though I isolated myself to one area little too much.

With this being said, I do not think I would go out of my way to return again. As I said in another post I had fun times but, no real bargain and it does take some work to find a diamond in rough. I would compare it to mongering in Managua. Somewhat similar. Unless one wants to cross it off there bucket list I would choose another destination outside Honduras.

Yes, IMHO it is the best place to monger in Honduras.

Can you please tell us why and what options are available? Any experience in the capital?

[Mfins]

I have been told San Pedro Sula is the place to go for action, more so than the capital. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Yes, IMHO it is the best place to monger in Honduras. I have been to all the major cities ie: Roatan, La Ceiba, Tegus, .

However, saying it is the best place in Honduras to monger isn't saying a whole lot. I had a lot of fun the few times I went but, It still pales in comparison to El Sal, Panama, CR, etc.

[SouthEaster]

I don't know about now but a few years ago SPS was the murder capital of the world. Good luck.

Not sure how when I wrote 'them' your screen name the forum spellchecker apparently changed it to 'them' !

Anyhow, your trip report will be a deciding factor in my decision to travel to Honduras this year or not.

Have a fun and safe trip! Que LE vaya bien.

Will do, I always do report. I had not planned on going to Utila but might do a day trip if I find some company. I've had pretty good luck on Seeking Arrangments & found 3 chicas who are up for the P $P thing. So if I'm compatable with one of them, the day trip to Utila is a possibility. Like I said, TR coming in the first week of May!!

Them -finally someone making a trip to Honduras! Please do and report back. This is the only country in Central America that I haven't been to. Reading or lack there of on the forum makes the place like a wasteland. Based on my past research, I just looked at my map and I have a marker on 'French Harbor Road'. The only reason at some point I put a marker must be due to chica action on or around that area. So check it out.

I have another marker for this place with no description 1618'57.5"and 8632'29.0"W.

If you make it to Utila, I read that there you may find drunk (or sober) Dutch girls and I have a marker on 'Bar in the Bush' which is likely a freebie pick up bar. Google has it or what seems to be in the middle of nowhere in Utila so if you go there, maybe worth finding the right location and letting Google know.

Good luck and please report back your findings.
