Lago Yojoa is spectacular. I wish I could say the same for D&D Guesthouse. They have a manager that is about as much help as a doorknob for info. He wasn't even sure how to make a call to neighboring Nicaraugua. There is nothing of Honduras in this guesthouse except for the kitchen and cleaning staff which seems to work about 15 hours a day straight. The food is totally american and over priced. The clientele is a bunch of screaming drunk people and totally annoying. The walls in the rooms are paper thin you can hear people peeing in the next room. They do have good beer but I did not go to Honduras for that.
If you want any info about the area go across the street to Leo's. He sells Jugo de Cana and it is superb. He can answer anything about the lake, buses, nearby towns and attractions and anything else you can dream up.
There are some very inexpensive comedors in the little town of Los Naranjos. Real Honduran food and atmosphere.
I highly recommend Lago Yojoa but stay somewhere else than D&D if you go.
I was there in January, and everyting was cool, except for there was a bit more sketch sitch problem for my liking.
eddy. In reference to sketch sitch. Have you thought about Montana, Idaho, or West Virginia?

D&D Brewery? They have a pretty checkered past on this forum. Put your review on TRIP ADVISOR.
I hate so say it ,tartpaulschmidt, because I have always liked this forum, it is getting completely taken over by kootchabugs. Once my upcoming trip to central america is done, I am going to post a trip report and leave this forum for good.
eddy you just need to get rejuvenated by some righteous journey. I had a cleansing done by a shaman in Ecuador ( he's the guy behind me in the blowgun picture) with a little yuca chicha, some other things for the mind....fixed me right up.
I watched a really interesting episode of The Nature of Things last week regarding cleansing with jungle remedies. In this case, it was for drug addiction treatment using ayahuasca.
This video is worth checking out if it's available in your area.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread OP...
I read some negative reviews of D & D before I ventured there in January. That made it all the more attractive. If a place fails to get a 5 star review from mayo on whitebread stiff magazoon, are we to shun it? Is that what independent travel has come to? I hate so say it because I have always liked this forum, it is getting completely taken over by robots. Once my upcoming trip to central america is done, I am going to post a trip report and leave this forum for good.
