If you plan to extend your trip, West Bay is a great place to stay. It is located on the island's west side, comprised of West Bay Beach and its many hotels, resorts, restaurants, and shops.
If you choose to visit West Bay, we highly recommend staying at the Kimpton. You can also have a meal at one of their 4 restaurants or visit their Spa - Kao Kamasa Spa.
West End is a mile-long strip along the northwestern coast of Roatan, offering a line-up of dive shops, gift shops, small hotels, mini-marts, restaurants, and bars. Most hotels in West Bay will have shuttles or can call a taxi that can drive you to the West End.
Our favorite restaurant on the island. Make sure you make a reservation. :)
Scuba diving in Honduras means diving at the southern part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, and the second-largest reef in the world (only the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is bigger!). There are a lot of dive shops to choose from, but most will be located in the West End. There is one shop on Las Verandas properties called "The Scuba Shop."
