Review: Jade Seahorse in Utila Honduras

One of the most unique and amazing places in Utila is the Jade Seahorse (jadeseahorse.com). I can’t even begin to describe the place, but it is a lot like someone from Burning Man building a house on an island. The “Jade” of JadeSeahorse refers to the fabulous Mayan stone so deeply revered by ancient and modern native peoples of Central America. The Seahorse, equally fascinating and unique, was owner Neil’s obsession for years before coming to Utila, and the marriage of the two distinctly independent yet alluring forms of nature reflect the union of Neil and Julia themselves, attractive opposites whose bond remains as firm as their original vision of JadeSeahorse. It is ultra creative, funky and looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. You just have to see it to believe it.
