Media Luna Resort: Cheap

The resort itself is good beach area small good snorkelling off beach. The staff are great. There is one bar that you have to go to 46 stairs up from the beach or walk to from anywhere else. This is not a resort for anyone with walking difficulties. When you arrive you get 2 water bottles in the fridge it is up to you to refill them for your stay. There is a coffee shop that you have to pay for coffee a dollar a cup. The food is chicken fish pasta every day and for your al a carte.

Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort: A 2 week stay. One good the other not.

The hotel itself is very good. Very clean and neat. The room was great with good maid service. The pool and beach are immaculate. We found the food to be excellent, lots of choices and fresh too. Downside, 2nd week of day and night rain.

Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort: very nice resort....very good food...

beautiful grounds, pool and beach...everything close.....only thing missing was a hot tub....staff very friendly......diving was very very good on both sides of the island....shark dive is a must if you have never experienced it...

Media Luna Resort: Good resort

Positives: Great reef at property. Quiet place. Great rooms. Lots of loungers and places to enjoy breezy sun. Negatives: They cheap out on food and have only basic alcohol choices. Taxis to other places are expensive.

La Ensenada Beach Resort: It's not like anywhere else...

Been to many resorts but nothing quite compared to La Ensenada, at least in it's own way. Most of the time less than 30 guest so the service was excellent. Staff couldn't be nicer and willing to help anyway they could. Too many outstanding to mention by name but I'm sure they know who they are (Janga, Bye Bye). We have a few incriminating pictures to show the lawyers, thank you entertainment staff. The grounds were lush and very clean. We lucked out with a lake view room and exceptional view, a [... read more]way from any possible noise except the frogs that sang every night, fireflies and pigeons greeting us every morning. Peacocks and guinea fowl roamed around at free will. Breakfast was good but much the same everyday but lunches and dinners changed daily. Although, there wasn't an a la cart restaurant we got to enjoy one any way as if there are less than 20 guest, which we had a few days, it was ordering off the menu. Even the buffet changed almost everyday so no complaints from us. Town (Tela) was in walking distance and the locals also couldn't be nicer by either showing or explaining, helping in anything we asked. Saw area fish with a local fisherman, tried our hand fishing with them from the pier. Chicken wings are a favorite with us anywhere so went to Tela and tried Winger's for lunch. I will agree with other reviews to make sure you bring your bug spray... Now as we look at snow falling here, we wish we were back at La Ensenada. Thank you everyone at La Ensenada. from Stan & Susan

Parrot Tree Beach Resort: Amazing Resort!

Everything about this place was perfect - the food, people, resort, beach, rooms, and locals. Everything is conveniently located, and there are so many affordable activities to do such as snorkling, zip lining, boat trips- you name it! We will definitely come back - we are already planning to do so! :) If you are looking for a quiet little paradise with not many people, then this is the perfect place for you.

Villas Telamar: Excellent hotel

The room was udge. The food was excellent but not a lot. The personnel was so gentil. It's a place to go. I wanna go again. The beach and ocean was excellent and clean. The organization of Sunwing was excellent with Christopher, agent.

Media Luna Resort: Awesome Staff!

Wonderful atmosphere, clean spacious cabanas, good food, engaging staff, super swimming and snorkeling on site. Safe and secure premises and surrounding areas. Cabanas gave the stay a feeling of having personal cottage that allowed for visiting with fellow vacationers on your own private deck. Very relaxing home away from home.

Henry Morgan Resort: Great value for price

Super resort.Not too big. Great location. Snorkellers and divers NIRVANA. Good food. Friendly and helpful staff.Rooms are clean and comfortable. The nightlife is there for the partiers,but if you just want to relax you can do that too.Dive shop staff are awesome.

Media Luna Resort: Thrilled with our trip to Media Luna

Really liked Media Luna's separate Cabanas! Our ocean-view unit was worth the extra in added privacy and sunrise view. The food was certainly adequate for a small resort on its own like this. Though the beach area was small the snorkelling was amazing all around the resort and as good as I've seen in over a dozen trips south. Above all what we enjoyed was how welcome the staff made us feel and the outstanding level of service.

Media Luna Resort: Beautiful cabanas!!

The resort is laid out amazing. The cabanas are spacious and clean. The water is clear. The snorkeling is amazing. The staff was very friendly. Kenny the bartender was amazing. Food was good not alot of variety

Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort: Most pleasant staff

A great place to spend a week learning to dive and enjoying the sun. Learned to dive with Infinity Divers and enjoyed the sun and amenities at the Infinity Bay. Food was excellent and quited varied, the all inclusive beach bar busy but accommodating. A little weak on entertainment but after a couple dives we ready to turn in pretty early.

Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort: Beautiful resort!!!

The hotel was amazing, you can tell that the staff really care about the guests. we were greeted by the general manager upon arriving, he even came to the airport to say thanks and say bye to everyone. The food was great! Especially the BBQ night, was our favorite. We spent a lot of time with the dive shop, that was the highlight of our trip, the staff are friendly, and go above and beyond! Our only complaint is with the tour operator, and that has nothing to do with the resort! We are already p [... read more]lanning a trip back with some amazing people we met at the resort!

Mayan Princess Beach Resort: Inaccurate Rating

Overall the resort was in disrepair, the service was very poor. They did not like to give you bottled water they preferred that you refill your water bottles from a cooler, which may have not been sanitized causing all of us to be sick. The food was not very good. The front desk did not offer much help for any of our concerns. There was cockroach's in the room and several safety issues on site that would have been a concern if I had younger children. The beaches where nice but the vendors out nu [... read more]mbered the guests. Sun was great and the dive shop was well equipped with professional staff. The resort is on its way out.

Media Luna Resort: Wonderfully relaxing girls only trip

This resort is beautiful. It's also very small, but that's one thing I loved most about it. The people that work there are wonderful. When we were there the last week of November I think there were around 70 guests total, so you really got to know the staff. They went out of their way to talk to you and get to know you. The food was great. Dennis always had something yummy on the buffet! The snorkelling was fantastic! The second day of our stay, one of the dive shop guys took us on a guided tour [... read more]. Absolutely breathtaking and the highlight of my trip. Best snorkelling in my life right at the resort. We did an island tour that I wasn't sure was worth the $80 USD I paid but we did have lunch at The Henry Morgan. I'm so glad we didn't stay there. The beach was lovely, but the locals harassing you to buy stuff was annoying. I much preferred the quiet of The Media Luna. The beach was very tiny, but very beautiful. The water was clear and warm. I didn't really spend much time there because of the bugs. I'm not sure what they were, but the bug bites were the only downside. It didn't seem to matter what kind of bug spray you used, the little bugs left terrible welts on my arms and legs. Bring lots of antihistime pills cause that's the only relief I found! In short, I would return here. It was exactly what I wanted for a relaxing trip with five other women. I wouldn't go with my kids or husband though as there really isn't that much going on to entertain them and they would probably be bored.

Fantasy Island Beach Resort: Snorkling excellent resort poor

Very rundown resort. Looks like it was good long ago but it needs many repairs and cleanup. On the pool deck there was the same animal feces beside a chair all week. The pool was not clean nor the grounds around it. The food was very limited and not hot. Coffee was not hot and tea rarely available even when i asked for it every meal. Although I advised of my food allergy every day and every meal they never made any attempt to help me. I couldn't have dairy and they put cheese on everything. Inbe [... read more]tween meals no food was available. There was nothing to do if you were not snorkling or diving. No activities available during the day and very little animation at night. There were 6 kayaks but 5 had holes and would sink when out in the ocean. Our rep said she would arrange lunch for us before leaving for our return flight but it didn't happen. The resort was far from full- maybe about 30 people tops and the lunch would have to be ready 30 minutes earlier. Lunch was scheduled for 12:30 and we got picked up at 12:15. I know this was a 3 star resort but I have been to many 3 star resorts and never was disappointed. I've paid less money for 4 and 5 star dive resorts this year and in the past and been very happy. This resort didn't deserve a 3.Maybe a 2 I will say the other travellers were great and most of the staff very friendly. Judy from amination did try her best to get people involved at night when she had planned an activity and she was very sweet. Room cleaning ladies were quick and efficient, always smiling. The snorkling from the beach was excellent!! The people we met and our experiences off the resort were great and therefore I will visit Roatan again but not Fantasy Island.

Media Luna Resort: the beach is unforgettable!

Hotel is perfect, I like it much more than all previous places I had for vacations. Snorkeling was real "National geographic"! - hundreds of tropical fish! I was swimming during all my staying at this hotel.

Paradise Beach Hotel and Resorts: Not so good

-hotel grounds well taken care of, superb location, all rooms are ocean-view and beautiful after renovation -public area clean, comfortable, waiting staff always there to help you -dining unfortunate: food- more what you find in Cuba, what you eat first day is what you eat any other day of your stay ,meat overcooked, dry-boring. It was almost a chore to go and eat.THEY NEED NEW COOK. -beach lovers beware! many rocks ,dead coral, difficult access to water, SEAWEED- but this couldn't be helped, tu [... read more]rtles are nesting on the beach you will need proper shoes

Media Luna Resort: Trip of a Lifetime

Cabana: we had an Ocenview cabana. It was wonderful to awaken to the sound of the sea. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The bathroom facilities as well were spacious and fairly modern. Cleaning staff pleasantly surprised us each day with a different towel sculpture embellished with flowers each day. A/C was reliable and sufficient. In the mornings, we enjoyed the fairly private deck complete with a hammock. Dining Area: Very open air thanks to the lovely long windows to let th [... read more]e breezes in. Very clean with amazing wait staff. Juan Carlos was pleased to give us language lessons when asked. Ronny J served us very professionally and yet with a pleasantness and sense of humor that made us feel very special. Food was abundant with tasty. We felt there was nothing to complain about. Animation: Various activities were done nightly. Nothing over the top. But these staff were very friendly and welcoming and certainly made everyone feel welcome. Beach: Although not large, it was soft white sand with lounge chairs for everyone. There are several tiers of decks/beach, so you can get as much or little sun as you like. The Beach is groomed regularly and so are kept quite clean. There is a fair bit of rock to get into the water, but nothing too concerning. WiFi: We found the wifi in the upper room in the reception hall fairly reliable and suitable for our needs. Many folks were connected when on the lounge chairs in the reception area and the breezeway to the dining hall or on the pool decks just outside this area. Pools: We did not use these. A few days, they were noisey with kids. Surrounding gardens could have been better tended. Snorkelling and Diving: We selected this resort for its remoteness and wonderful reviews of the diving and snorkelling. We were not disappointed. Shore dives are wonderful for those who would prefer not to dive from a boat. The dive shop staff were extremely helpful and the set up was perfect in that it allowed us to keep our gear in a shed where it could hang to dry. Other divers booked packages with their resort reservations and obtained very reasonably priced packages. Off Resort Excursions: There seemed to be quite a bit to choose from. We went to Gios for dinner one night. What a great meal!! Ride to and from in the air conditioned bus was pleasant. We ordered one plate of food for the two of us as advised by JC and had more than enough lobster, crab, shrimp and sides of the two of us ($40US). Overall: This is our new favourite spot. Next time we plan to stay for 2 weeks and perhaps do a bit more off resort sleuthing. PS... there are lizards everywhere, most of which are quite small. But if this would bother you, may be a deal breaker.

Fantasy Island Beach Resort: It's all about the location......

Beautiful beach! Great for divers and snorkelers. We stayed two weeks in room 217. Very clean large room, King size bed, large shower, in room combination safe. Beautiful ocean view! Good food but not elaborate. The main building reminded me of a grand southern plantation. Lots of charm! I would recommend this destination to friends who love nature and aren't hung up on luxury accommodations.
