A Tree House for the Big Kids

Treetanic is one of the coolest bars in all of Honduras. Located in Utila, at the Jade Seahorse Inn RESTAURANT, this elevated wooden deck sits under the shade of a large mango tree. Built to resemble an old ship, Treetanic is the ultimate tree fort for grown-ups.

The d�cor is insane; the tables are made out of marbles, everything is done in bright colors, and even the bathrooms are a piece of artwork!. At the main bar you can mix and mingle while enjoying the music or you can escape down to one of the sub-levels for an intimate moment with your date. Although there is always a breeze, things can get pretty hot, so dress accordingly.


Romance Potion

The native Garifuna can be found throughout Central America, particularly on the Caribbean Coast in Honduras and neighboring countries. While some of the villages have given way to the pressures of the modern world, becoming touristier and less authentic, around Palacios you can still find typical villages where you can enjoy their traditional music, dance, and potions. 

Make sure and get your hands on a bottle of Gifiti. This “medicine of love” is alcohol that has been soaked in different roots and herbs. It tastes kind of like a beefed up cough syrup, but locals will tell you it not only heals, it helps out in the romance department as well. While the Gringo isn’t Read more

Relaxing on Roatan

Out of the Blue on the West Bay of Roatan Island is the perfect place to kick back and relax. It may not be the fanciest of places, but Snokey, the manager, and Marlon, her assistant, make this the most enjoyable of stays, and they even speak decent English! With the beach in one direction, and a whole slew of bars and restaurants in the other, you can’t go wrong.

The kitchen is stocked with all the necessary cooking tools, and it, along with the barbeque, invites you to do some cooking of your own. The Mini Mart stocks the basics, and if they don’t have what you need, they’ll help you find it. Free internet and Read more

A Slice of Heaven

The best pizza in Honduras, dare I say the best pizza in all of Central America, is found at Weekend’s Pizza in Santa Rosa de Copan. Honduras is not particularly famous for its cuisine; at the center of virtually every meal is a heaping pile of white rice, accompanied by a side of beans. It makes sense then, that Weekend’s Pizza is the product of, not a local, but a former Peace Corps volunteer. The Gringo thinks he missed good pizza so much, he decided to open his own restaurant. And thank heaven he did!

Weekend’s Pizza not only makes their own high quality dough, their special pizza sauce is divine in its own right. Order the Italiano, Read more
