    One of the best beaches on Utila! If it wasn't of the sandflies, I would like to put it to the best!

    The beach offers chairs for sitting but apart from this fact it's not a nice beach. The water is murky and dirty and there is mud, you cannot go out and swim and to go to snorkel you need to walk about 200m on rocks with sea urchins before you can swim and see something. On top of that there is an entrance fee (40Lempiras). The bar is nice though and offers a waiter to bring your drinks directly to you on the beach. It's more of a "relax and sunbathe with a bar on hand" kind of place rather than beach for swimming and snorkeling.

    We came on a Tuesday, so the beach was super peaceful without many people around. The water was calm, but it wasn’t great for snorkeling because there was quite a bit of high seagrass a few feet out. As for the restaurant bar, I thought the service and food was exceptional. They were beyond accommodating for my vegan diet. Honestly they were incredible! We ordered fried pickles which they told us that they use eggs and milk as the binding agent and we asked if they could find an alternative method. They did a little experiment on one pickle to see if it was possible and once they realized it was, they served us our food. Omg… so good! A lot of the food that we ordered came with cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream, so I asked the server if there was anything she could substitute those items for and she suggested avocado. When it came time to pay the bill, it was a different woman who handed us our check. She charged us extra money for the avocado which I didn’t think was fair as it was a recommendation from the server as a substitute for all of the cheese and creams. Not to mention, considering the fact that it was only one small slice of avocado was ridiculous that they wanted to charge more. When I said something to the woman, she got very defensive and borderline aggressive about it. Arguing both me and the server. It was such a turn off that my original, 5 star, incredible experience was tainted. The restaurant could do without that woman’s attitude and it’s be a much better establishment. Without that small negative experience, we loved everything about the day. Thank you for our server, and the gentleman who made the pickles possible! P.S, they have the most comfortable swinging daybeds on a dock over the water. Such a tranquil experience.

    The beach is great. Not too crowded. The restaurant is touristy. Nachos, chicken fingers, hamburgers, etc. Good, but not really the place to go unless you're hanging out on the beach. It has a purpose and it serves it well. Service is on the slow side so if you're in a hurry, this is not the place to be. Hopefully, you're not in a hurry. That defeats the purpose of a beach.

    Great snorkeling past the shallows to the left. You can swim out to the dive sites but definitely not a good idea since there are boats out there. Bring some bug spray if you plan on laying on the beach which also has some WiFi

    Bando is the main place we send our guests! (as well as enjoying it ourselves!). With the cleanliness of the beaches, the restaurant, and the bathrooms, it is far and away an easy recommendation. We have been joining Vanessa and her staff at Bando for, literally, years, and we will continue to do so for the drinks, the food, and the camaraderie. This is also a fantastic place to make your own sunset postcard with yourself in it!

    Good location for sunsets. They don't have a lot of options in the menu, but the food was good. It's not the best place to snorkel, the beach was a little dirty.

    Nice tucked beach corner... Quiet, nice views, little bit of snorkeling, wind rustling through the palm trees. A nice relaxing visit for an afternoon off. Entrance is 50 lemps.

    Beautiful, afordable, and relaxing. The best combinación of great food and beach access. Definitely the best place to watch the sunset in the whole Island
