Roatan
The Caribbean Island of Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands, is fringed by the Great Western Barrier Reef and offers brilliantly blue clear water, quiet coastal beaches of white sand, and lush tropical forests.

Far from the throngs and traffic of mass tourist centers, Roatan is noted for its consistently ideal climate during the winter months. Tropical breezes add to the comfortable living environment (average temperature is 81 degrees F), and warm water (78 to 86 degrees F) is guaranteed year round.

Although the beaches of the Island are exquisite, they comprise only a small part of the overall terrain. The gently sloping hills of the Island abound with verdant jungle vegetation and spring-fed water. The inland mountain peaks, which form a spine down the center of the Island, rise as high as 700 feet and are covered with oak, pine, cedar and dense broad leaf undergrowth. The coastal Mangrove jungles, found on the east end, are protected and provide a refuge and feeding ground for young sea life. The coral reefs, which virtually surround most of the Island, form natural breakwaters, creating ideal, calm pools for diving, snorkeling and swimming.

Located about 65 kilometers off the Northern Coast of Honduras, the Bay Islands group consists of 3 main Islands (Roatán, Guanaja, and Utila), 3 smaller islands (Barbareta, Morat, and Helene), and 65 smaller cays. Between these islands and the mainland are the Cayos Cocinos (Hog Islands).

Roatan Hotels are a vacation paradise located off the North Coast of Honduras and is home to pristine white sandy beaches, amazing tropical jungle-covered hills, a diverse and unique reef system, heartwarming people, unique cultures and authentic Caribbean charm. Roatan and the Bay Islands are often called the Caribbean's best-kept secret.
