It looks as though construction has begun on the Los Micos resort in the Bahia de Tela Honduras. This resort promises to be one of a kind in the country of Honduras with Luxury 5-star accomodations and numerous championship golf courses. The 5-star resort is currently rumored to be a Westin property.
This development will be near the town of Trujillo which is a short ferry ride to the island of Guanaja. One has to wonder if day trip excursions will be offered by this resort to visit the island. If these do indeed happen then it can only have a positive impact on Guanaja and its residents.
Also we have been informed that a new hotel, La Giralda, has recently opened on Guanaja. It looks to have taken over the place where the old Baymans Bay Club once existed.

Guanajaguide.com would like you to email any pictures you may have of the base so that we can post them on our site.

I hope everyone is doing well and that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving

2. Diving- Guanaja has unspoiled wildlife which lends itself to very successful dives. Qualified instructors await your visit.
Contact Bo Bush( Bo’s Island House) or George of Clearwater Paradise and either will take you to the best places.

3. Scenery- you can hike to the top of several of Guanajas’ peaks and have glorious views of the neighboring islands and the mainland

4. Investment Opportunity- Guanaja is still relatively inexpensive for Caribbean beachfront property. Lots of opportunity to find your retirement spot or make a wise investment.

Visit Guanaja you will be glad you did!

Honduras to Build a New Military Base
Escrito por Yllen Riquelme

10 de julio de 2010, 00:05Tegucigalpa, Jul 10 (Prensa Latina) Honduras will
build a new military base in the Caribbean, in addition to another military base
build with funding from the U.S.A in the same region with the pretext of
fighting drug trafficking.

Foreign Minister Mario Canahuati said that the new military base will be in
Guanaja, in the Department of Islas de la Bahia, but he did not gave any further
details.

Last April Washington and Tegucigalpa opened a base in Gracias a Dios
Department, near the border with Nicaragua, in which the U.S government invested
2 million dollars.

The military base is under the coordination of the Honduran Navy, but under the
supervision of the U.S. Southern Command.

The U.S.A also has an Air Force Station in that country, in Palmerola, in
Comayagua Department, where President Manuel Zelaya was initially taken after
the coup.

Popular organizations and human rights defenders warned about a return to the
militarization in the country after the coup.

Moving in a completely different direction it looks like Guanaja may have gotten some much needed rain from Alex which passed the island as a tropical storm, crossed the Yucatan peninsula and became a hurricane in the southern Gulf of Mexico

We hope everyone on the island is doing well.

As the title of this post says President Carter was on Guanaja recently and spent a week bonefishing and relaxing. Sharons’ blog has a couple of pictures that are proof he was on the island. The bonefishing on the island is second to none!

So one must ask if a former President of the United States is visiting an island for vacation should I consider Guanaja for my next vacation?

The answer is a resounding, YES! Visit www.guanajaguide.com for all your information to plan a Guanaja Vacation

Hope everyone is well.

The Bay Islands had a very nice write up in the largest newspaper publication in the United States this past week. Guanaja was mentioned but really only in passing as the better part of the article pertained to Roatan and the massive amounts of growth seen on that island over the last 10 years.

Hope everyone is doing well

Lots of us have the dream of moving to Guanaja and it’s very exciting when someone makes the leap of faith to change their lifestyle and move to the islands!

One new development to speak of is the opening of Clearwater Paradise ( www.clearwaterparadise.com). It looks like the owners of the property are realizing a longtime dream that they have had.
