Roatan

The Caribbeans best kept Secret

Bay Islands Honduras

Roatan is part of Bay Islands in Honduras, north of the coast of that country.

It is the largest of the three islands, larger than its sisters Utila, the smallest and Guanaja also the highest.

The big island is the most populated and busy of the three, with its capital at Coxen Hole.

Fluent in English due to their British Heritage

The Bay Islands have their own identity within the nation of Honduras. The islands were occupied mostly by the British and its Afro Antillean population speaks English fluently and some don’t even speak Spanish, the official language of Honduras.

They are called by many travel magazines as the Caribbean “Best Kept Secret”, because of its exotic beaches. The islands are not as tourist oriented as many Caribbean Islands.

Idyllic White Beaches

In this Paradise you will find:

• Idyllic white sandy exotic beaches, like the ones of Sandy Bay, West Bay and Camp Bay.

• Some of the world’s best Scuba Diving, since the island is surrounded by very large Coral Reefs. In the calm waters of the Caribbean you can swim, snorkel and enjoy all kind Caribbean Sports.

Butterfly Park and the Iguana Farm

• Verdant jungle covered hills where nature is enjoyed at its best like a visit to the Tropical Butterfly Park or the Iguana Farm.

• French Harbour is a busy port and shipping center. The city is also host to most international banks with branches on the island. The ferry dock and its modern terminal are located halfway between Coxen Hole and French Harbour.

• Many Cruise Lines offer a stop in this island on their Western Caribbean Cruises and passengers enjoy a day of shore excursions or just like to walk around town or explore the island by themselves.

I recommend the following Resorts

Barefoot Cay

Un mundo aparte - a world apart.

The pace is unhurried, the beaches are white. and the water azure blue. Barefoot Cay creates a feeling of calm and closeness with nature to a level few have experienced. Stay at Barefoot Cay and you will feel 'a world apart'. Your hosts have assured that the accommodations have all the amenities you'd expect from a luxury resort.

Three little sisters - Bay Islands, Honduras

A visit to Bay islands Honduras is quite an experience. These three little sisters are different from each other and a visit wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the smallest ones of Utila, the smallest and closest to the mainland and Guanaja the highest and wildest of the three.
