I’m staying in West Bay this December. I have read a lot about people who have stayed there and hired different companies to drive them around and take them to different areas. My question, if I just book an Airbnb centrally located in West Bay, will that be good enough to enjoy the beaches, snorkeling etc or do I also need to look into a local travel company for getting around and doing those things?
I am taking a month off from Thanksgiving - Christmas this year. I already have plans to sail around the San Blas islands for a week. I have looked extensively into Roatan Honduras recently and really like the looks of that. My initial plan was to spend time in Puerto Viejo also but I’ve already been to CR (pacific side) and don’t want to short myself a better experience somewhere else. Ideally I’m looking for a place with pristine beaches and immaculate waters to snorkel/dive in. Generally speaking a chill/laidback beach vibe is what I’m into, but also like the ability to go out and meet people where there is a good nightlife. A mixture of the two. I’m open to going somewhere more inland also if there is a certain experience that’s a once in a lifetime sight. Any and all Central America countries are on the table, and I’m asking for the best recommendations for my above interests. Thank you!
