Utila Q&A - 
Number one question: Is there bugs?   YES

Utila is like any other caribbean destination and for that matter, any destination, bugs know where it is and they live there too.  Bugs in Utila are the same as in Roatan.  My suggestion is use cactus juice or take a multi vitamine with B in it.  Those are a few things that work very well for me.  Bugs are an issue in the early morning and at night.  Im sorry, I truly wish I could tell you something that you would want to hear, but it would not be the truth.
