Utila Dive Center is a pleasant, competently run operation. The boats could use a fresh coat of paint, since it was chipping and flaking off on the dive benches. Accomodations at the Mango Inn were basic, in the shared rooms. The biggest problem were the mosquitos in the shared bath. Spend the extra money and get a room with a private bath. Utila is a very interesting island. However, it is not great for a family vacation, since there are limited beaches. If everyone in your group is a diver or fisherman, then Utila is a nice, inexpensive destination. |
