Officina De Pedro

Here in Roatan we have three very nice rental houses in an area called Coral Vista. This little point that juts out into the sea in West End has five 4 bedroom homes. We manage 3 of these and they are great rentals for us.

One of the drawbacks to these homes for us is there is no car access so we have to park and carry luggage down the beach a few hundred yards to the homes. Luckily the community and developer have Pedro and his trusty wheel barrows.

Pedro is the watchman, porter, errand man, gardner and all around good guy. For a few limps or bucks he can help with most any task. He is honest, hardworking and really great to have especially when your checking in a group of 8 people each with 3 bags (some dive bags). People usually arrive in the middle of the day when its really hot.

I am lately a littel worried that Pedro may have his sites set on greater things. I recently noticed a new sign on his bodega (local name for storage shed). By the looks of the picture my tip prices may be going up to help pay for his office overhead.
