Roatan Resorts - Reviews and Rates

Just returned to the Honduran mainland after 8 days in Paradise on Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands. Just as the Red Sea is the diving mecca for brits and europeans, the Bay Islands are the diving mecca for Canadians and Americans. Roatan is about one and a half hours by boat from the mainland. It is about the size of the Isle of Wight so ...

We sleep in and are JUST in time for breakfast: 11h! Dr T decides we have to top up our drinks and we go to the store. Since we do not have a fridge, we also buy a bag of ice. My poor hubby carries the whole lot home. See picture: Tony with backpack full of heavy stuff AND a bag of ice in the main street of our village. The finances are done in ...

Roatan Bay Islands Local Wood Carving Artist - Where in Roatan can you find Melvin Bodden?... You won't see Melvin in a fancy museum...no, his museum is the great outdoors. Look for a small house in a grassy field in Sandy Bay decorated with his own paintings! Just pull up along the road, meet Melvin, have a little chat, and buy a carving for yo...

A couple of days in El Salvador (home to the friendliest people i've met so far), a crazy 4 hr bus trip in which we covered 30 kms, and a visit to the ruins in Copan (which sadly lived up to the expected disapointment, after Tikal), and we're back on the Carribean! 5 days on Utila (the cheapest place in the world to learn, and supposedly one of ...

A wave or shift in the boat came from out of nowhere and threw me off my feet. My left shoulder came up hard under Captain Pete's jaw. He went reeling backwards grabbing for rope or rail. As he tumbled towards the edge of the boat he was able to grasp onto a mast cable. Had the Captain fallen overboard I think he would have been gone for good. E...

. . and try to discover its source. Our refrigerator is dying. It's dying in that possessed way that used appliances relegated to the donation pile often tend to die. Here is our dilemma: At night, while we are sleeping peacefully, so is our refrigerator/freezer. During the day, when we are off working and unsuspecting of anything evil lurking i...

On est partis de Providencia lundi matin pour aller se poser pour la journée au bout du récif de corail, à Low Cay. La couleur de la mer est d'un turquoise incroyable et les vagues brisent sur le recif. Un beau spectacle ! En milieu d'après-midi, on reprend la route, direction Roatan. Un passage de 380 miles nautiques qui nous aura pris 64 heure...

The boat trip to Utila was the type of turbulent stomach churning voyage that makes one swear they are relocating permanently to the island if only to never again be forced to endure the crossing. At least not without some serious Dramamine pill popping. Utila is part of a trio of islands known as the Bay Islands, a divers paradise just off the ...

Being on a small island it is sometimes hard to get enough exercise walking, which is why kayaking is good. Not that exercise is the real reason we thought it would be a smart idea to load up the kayaks with diving equipment and go diving. It's more that we wanted to check out a different dive sight, and since we didn't have enough customers to ...

I've always thought about it, but didn't think I would ever do it. Swimming with dolphins usually entails paying a lot of money and then jumping into a pool or confined area with several other people and a few dolphins. And in my messed up, sometimes idealist head, I decided that I would rather not experience this pleasure than do it that way. B...
