Hotels near Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport - RTB, Roatan

Beautiful beaches, snorkeling and diving. Locals are friendly and helpful. West Bay Beach is laid back and upscale, West End is perfect for party/young people. Great place for families or couples. A real mix of restaurants and resorts to fit any budget. Love it here!

We loved snorkelling out to the reef, particularly the Spooky Channel, and a delicious lunch at Puerta Azul. Best of all, the beach was almost deserted, despite cruise ships disgorging passengers elsewhere on the island. We regretted not having time to see the botanical gardens.

Even though this is mostly a diving destination, it would still be perfect for relaxation and beach time. Two of our favorite restaurants were Sandy Buns Bakery and Pura Vita. Sandy Buns had the best breakfasts. We had dinner at Pura Vita five times. Most of the island food is deep fried, but Pura Vita is all fresh. The ceviche was the finest we have ever had. Book a tour of the island, go through the mangrove trees, skip the sloth and monkey park. Take US cash since it is accepted everywhere. Many places put a surcharge on using a credit card. Cabs or water taxi will get you anywhere you need to go on the island. Stick to the west end for the best beaches.

Loved the staff. Helpful in so many ways. They are planning for new activities. Taxi available. Great food. I ate at the restaurant daily. I could get lunches and breakfast to go when I had early morning pick up for diving. I dived with Octopus Diving, recommended by the resort. I enjoyed the birds that were attracted to the thriving plantings along the walkways. The wifi worked well. The owner helped me with scheduling. She took me to the cash machine. She was so helpful.

We absolutely loved our place, the managers were very accommodating and the Villa was gorgeous. The pool was very clean and refreshing, we were in it all day everyday. My husband had an accident and needed stitches and Nigel our boat driver went above and beyond to help us get him medical assistance. We’ll be back for sure

The island has undergone alot of development in the two decades we were last there and so there is relatively more to do and a larger range of places to stay. Its strength as a wonderful spot for scuba divers is still intact even though there has been some impact to the coral, but not nearly as much as many other places, sadly. There are plenty of sealife and variety of places to dive.
