We first arrived in San Pedro Sula, which did not seem safe and is rated as a dangerous city. Everywhere you walk there are guards outside with guns, and absolutely no one speaks English there.
From San Pedro we took a small 1 hour plane ride to Roatan, which is an island off of Honduras. We instantly felt like we were in a different country ! The vibes were more fun and tropical, and there are a lot of black English speaking locals. We stayed at Grand Roatan resort for $225 a night and had a private dinner on the beach for $100 total. Entrance to the beach is right in the back of the resort and you’ll find a strip of restaraunts and activities here. Be aware that these people will harass you to book activities.
If you’re looking for good restaraunts, or bars then ask a taxi driver to take you to west end which is a strip that you walk for food, drinks and music.
My most favorite part about this trip was visiting Little French Key, which is another small island only about a 10 min boat ride from Roatan. We booked a VIP package through our hotel for $200 Each that included drop off to little French key, personal vip section,lunch with 3 mixed drinks, snorkeling in the middle of the water, horseback riding, water sport of choice, and a couples massage. The vibe was amazinnggg, they played a lot of dancehall, r&b music, the people of Roatan are like a mix of Spanish and Caribbean you can hear it In their accent.
However the main reason we went to Little French Key is because they offered swimming with jaguars. We learned that the owners are from somewhere in Asia and the government in the main land of Honduras doesn’t respect them and took away their jaguars. Other than this, we loved this place it was super beautiful !
Phuket is hands down me and my boyfriends favorite trip. Everything is cheap, it’s so beautiful, many activities and great night life ! We stayed at a gorgeous villa at villa zolitude, I highly recommend this place. We booked the treetop panoramic view room which had a private infinity pool. The price for 4 nights was about $1200 which included airport transportation, daily breakfast, private in room dinner with wine, and a 90 min couples massage. Can you imagine all of this for a veryyy affordable price.
We had pre booked our activities and tours but it will probably be better to visit one of the kiosks at their beaches and get better discounts. While here we chose a tour that included elephant trekking, and riding atv’s to visit the big Buddha statue for $45 each ! There’s so many people who go Phuket and don’t visit Bangla road. This strip is sooo bright and fun filled with bars and clubs. You’ll find plenty of spots that play hip hop music, and ladies you’ll find promoters who will get you in the clubs ands drinks for free.
Phuket is definately a hot spot for couples, or a group of friends. I’m going back soon !!
