Re: Deciding on an Island...

Yes, very wild west indeed. I'm a cool chillin Canadian girl, from the non-wild west! I love Roatan itself, but I just don't feel safe anymore. Crime has gotten so out of control is is frightening.

Re: Deciding on an Island...

Over the past few years, crime has risen to the extreme and its become a real worry for me. The police do nothing to investigate crimes, or even hold anyone accountable. I don't...
