Honduras and the Bay Islands

I brought two guidebooks with me on my recent trip to Honduras, which is an amazing country to visit by the way, and this book was the better resource by far. (The other book was Lonely Planet's Central America on a Shoestring.) J.P. Panet writes about Honduras with sincere affection for its people and a sensitivity to their culture. Hotel and restaurant listings are comprehensive, phone numbers are accurate (not so with Lonely Planet's book), and descriptions are useful. I almost didn't buy this book because of another review on (...) site, but I'm glad I ignored it!

As the owner-manager of the Humuya Inn Bed and Breakfast in Tegucigalpa I can verify that this is the best guidebook I've seen for Honduras and the Bay Islands. It is my constant companion as I take it on my trips with my family around our beautiful country. The information is concise and accurate, and I would only reccommend this book to my guests for there travels. Don't leave home without it!

There are few guidebooks on Honduras at all.Even if competition were available HONDURAS & THE BAY ISLANDS would be well worthwhile.It is simple ,well laid out by regions and truly has all the essential information a travelor would need.We found it more helpful than most of the ''big name'' books that we are all familiar with. Using this guide I planned our entire three week trip.,including air, car rentals, sights and lodging. We so thoroughly loved Honduras ,we are moving there.Bon Voyage. Bill Lockman
