Sometimes going into TGU in Honduras if we missed the south approach our company procedure was to land on the opposite runway with lower altitude limits to circle to land on the same runway as from the north sector. We did it a few times with no problems. We could make as many approaches as we wanted but on low ceiling approaches we usually did one each direction then held until we had to divert to an alternate. It was very safe. You could only bust your butt there if you did something stupid. Pilots might get desperate on the third approach but ATC shouldn't be involved in cockpit decisions. Let them do a dozen approaches if they choose to.
TGU was named the most dangerous airport in the world to land at by a commercial airline. Hundreds of landings there convinced me it was just an airport and you have to pay attention.
