Half Moon Bay

Roatan

Punta Raton tropical beaches at the south west of Honduras in the Pacific Coast not as known as Roatan Islands but more remote and with less tourism just an amazing country

We came in mahogany bay, and no cruise ships were at coxen hole, so half moon bay was empty and beautiful! The water was so warm. It was perfect!
From San Pedro Sula we hopped a short flight down to the island of Roatan.  Our original intention was to stay a few days and then head back to the mainland to see some of the other sites Honduras has to offer.

We got to West End and only left to catch our flight back to the States.  It was so low key, the water and sand amazing and our room with a porch and hammock with an ocean view was very affordable!

The scuba diving here was really good and cheap.  If you can't be bothered with that, at least bring your snorkel kit; it's nearly as good as the diving.

It was a great spot with a beautiful ocean view across the street. The staff was very friendly. The only drawback for me was that there was no hot water on the floor we were on.

We love this funky little Hotel with the beautiful oceanfront view. The rooms are simple, but they are very clean and it is just a short walk to town. Matilda and Renee are very good hosts. I recommend this place if you want nothing fancy but in a beautiful location.
