Have you spent any time at Lake Atitlan? If so any advice there? Sounds like San Marcos or San Pedro is good.
I skipped the lake which I kinda regret, was fatigued leaving Mexico and just wanted to get to Antigua, I do hear good things though, also don't drive on the south of the lake as it's a pretty famous spot for bandits, you can get a police escort if you have to go that way though(no fee).

Sure you could argue but with the police beside him hugging him etc and you're in Honduras, I just accepted the whole ordeal as a harsh lesson learned.
