Gavros - indeed, and I've looked at some of those. The only way I've seen to get to Bocas del Toro is the slow route I mentioned. Utila, IIRC, loads of the flights I was looking at went via the US which is a complication I can do without. Cartagena's beaches get slated online, although we may take it in as one of our stops en route to the sitting.
Caye Caulker rings a bell, I'll work out tonight why I'm not all over that.

Oh and Cozumel takes some beating and my favourite place, Playa del Carmen has been transformed from a sleepy one horse town into Mexico's version of Lloret

Gavros - completely undecided. Options range from Mexico City to Port of Spain - so really only the top of South America.
Cough - BA is one of my favourite places I've been to. I've already covered a bit much of the south to go back, otherwise I'd be all over it.
Stubbo - ta. Costa Rica, amongst other places, has been winding me up. I can find nice-looking places to go, but just can't find out what they've got going on nearby - so I'll definitely look into that.

You don't go to Tulum to stay, you can do that from Cancun

Went to Manuel Antonio on Honeymoon last year... Beaches weren't quite pure white, but was a fantastic time. National Park had some awesome beaches and stretches of coastline, plenty to do in and around, good restaurants. Worth looking into.

To be fair, I'm jealous you're going to BA, I loved it when I was out there even though I had an automatic weapon pointed at me by OB or was it the army?
Fucking steaks are IMMENSE

where are you flying into? The distance between Yucatan peninsular in Mexico and somewhere like Natal in Brazil is fucking enormous.

I don't have any idea what you mean ;)
Although I think a real Zoltaneer would be paying for his ticket, rather than getting a freebie on top of one paid for with Avios.

They're frightened you'll reveal that the other half of your 2-for-1 is being taken by a Peruvian supermodel.
Jealous of you, just like they were of Zoltan...
