From time to time in 36 years of marriage me bride and I have taken a
honeymoon. Ambergris Caye is the only place we've honeymooned twice. Miles
of beach, still no chain resturants or glitzy resorts. Beach front bars and
resturants, and few bugs. San Pedro rolls up the sidewalks at 10:00PM even
during carnival.
If you've been to Roatan you know about the no-see-ums in the Bay Islands.
Guanaja is worse. Places to avoid are Bayman Bay Club on Guanaja (crappy
service) and Coco View on Roatan (intestinal bug). See Undercurrent for
details.
