Has anyone ever been to Roatan?

Starting to research the possibility of going to Roatan. Has anyone been? Any recommendations?

I have been twice on cruise stops and did day passes at resorts. DH and I went last July and stayed on the island for a week and loved it because we got out and really saw the island. We split the trip between two resorts and rented a car. We had the golf course and dive boats completely to ourselves. We can get a direct flight so it was a very easy trip for us. Defintely something we will repeat with the kids when they get older.

If you go, try Temporary Cals, the food is amazing!

PM me if you want more details.

This is a stop on our cruise in a week. We have booked a day excursion at a resort and it looks amazing!!!

We were there for our second time via cruise last week. My post about the port is here: sunshinenwine.blogspot.com/2014/03/carnival-dream-western-caribbean.html

We have a fair amount of travelling planned through 2015 so Roatan is not in our immediate week-long land vacation plans, but DH and I both really want to spend a week there. We want to do a refresher SCUBA course and spend the week diving, but there are other things to do there besides diving if that isn't your bag. I started an Excel spreadsheet earlier this week for potential dive resorts if we finally have time for the land-vacay. It's on my computer at work, but if you want it, I can send it to you next week.

The snorkeling is fantastic if you aren't a diver, the zip-lining provides beautiful views, the beaches are fantastic, the food very good, and the people friendly. From the research I started, there are also quite a few spas.
