progressive vs conservative

Someone recently expressed discomfort with the progressive slant of the My Roatan blog. Specifically, this person wrote: "My wife and I were strongly considering coming back to your resort. But I would feel bad insulting your dignity and sense of superiority by asking you to accept any of our conservative Trump supporting money." In responding, I reminded this client that the blog specifically states "opinions expressed in this blog are solely my own," and that I have respectful and lively debates with conservative guests all the time. We agree to disagree. I live on the edge of the ocean. I can sense the sea level rising. My biggest gripe is with conservatives who claim global warming/climate change is a hoax. Donald Trump is one of those people. However, in an effort to be more "balanced," here are two men of arguably equal standing, one progressive and one conservative, having a respectful and lively debate about current issues in the political realm.

october rain


Right on schedule, this morning we had the first of the October rains. Historically, October has been one of our wettest months here in the Bay Islands. I've personally witnessed Octobers in which it has rained pretty much non-stop the entire month. These rains are critical to keeping the island green and replenishing Roatan's fresh water aquifer. During this month, we close the resort in order to do yearly maintenance work, and to allow our team members to take their well-deserved vacations. Paya Bay reopens November 1st. Note that we will continue to accept and process reservation requests during this time.
