West Bay Beach Resort Getaway
Located near the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean Sea (second largest worldwide after Australia's Great Barrier Reef), Roatan has become an important cruise eco-tourism destination in Honduras.
Meet your local tour guide and set off from the pier learning about some of Roatan's history and culture as you make your way to West Bay. The island rests on an exposed ancient coral reef, rising to about 270 meters (890ft.) above sea level. Most inhabitants live in the western half of the island as Roatan is the most developed and largest of the Bay Islands. This place is truly a snorkeling and diving paradise as almost the entire coastline is accompanied by an array of different coral reefs that brilliant tropical fish call home. Back on land, experience soft, white-sand beaches like those in West Bay. Make a stop at a local rum venue to learn about the island's rum heritage and enjoy a tasting of locally produced varieties. The experience offers an introduction to local products in a small, boutique-style setting, focused on sampling and a general overview rather than a large-scale production facility.
Your destination is at a private resort with access to the facilities, including chairs, changing rooms, bathrooms, fresh-water shower, and Wi-Fi. You will find activities such as kayaking, scuba diving, and offshore snorkeling are available (for an additional cost). You will discover for yourself that Roatan's beaches are some of the finest and breath-taking in the Caribbean.
Be welcomed with a complimentary beverage and then the day is yours to spend how you wish, indulge in the resort amenities and activities and spend some time relaxing at the beach without a care in the world. The crystal-clear, amazing water is perfect for swimming and the beach, or if you wish, simply sink your toes in the long stretch of white-sand or take a stroll. There is also a small gift shop with souvenirs and meals are not included but food is available for purchase at your own discretion.
