The Island Pearl is truly an artist's delight. Thanks for preserving
the beauty of the land and creating wonderful Roatan villas. We appreciated
the tips on walks and eats.

Cate, Ezra and Jules, USA
Refugees from the lands of harsh winters, ringing phones and cars
we soak up this land of garfish, soft sand like velvet and verdant
leaf-scapes. Blissfully doing the minimum it's so fun to see how little
we can get by with doing, using in the splendid arbor, amidst these
handsome houses and handsome you guys and the lizards that run on
water thanks for all

Greg, Julie, Kelsay and Britta, USA
After months of anticipation our dream vacation has become a reality!
You truly do offer a piece of paradise at the Island Pearl. We loved
the beachfront setting and the artfully decorated abode. And the weather
was perfect! Thank you and your staff for all of your hospitality.

Becky and Kenny, USA
We enjoyed staying at Island Pearl resort for our vacation. It was
peaceful with minimal noise. We loved the porch and being able to
sit and look at the waves so close. The house had everything that
we needed. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. It was a little
oasis under the palm trees. Your new blinds made it much cozier and
island - like. You and Pascal have been helpful and considerate. Sorry
about all the mess with the boxes; next time 'ill know to mail earlier
or send them on the plane with us! Everything worked out as it always
does! The housekeeping staff and grounds keeper were very friendly
and helpful. We felt at home here and that makes a vacation great.
Hope to see you all again on our next visit to Roatan!

Linda and Sid, USA
We are staying on the West End at the Polo Galindo Clinic and wanted
a change for the weekend. Quelle bonne chance que nous avons trouve
Island Pearl. I loved lying in bed and ejoying the beautifully designed
and decorated room. Everything - grounds as well as unit- as elegant
in an island way, with an island feel. Perhaps we can return when
the water is calm, to snorkel.

Carolyn, Bryan, Jillayne and Douglas,
USA
Dear Lainie, Pascal, Olivier and Emilie, Thank you so much for sharing
your beautiful spot on the beach with us. Having not ever been here,
we count ourselves very fortunate to have chosen the best place on
West Bay by far! To have the aqua blue ocean just a few feet away
was incredible, the grounds are beautiful, and the house lovely. We
loved sitting on the verandah and watching the ocean and there were
hardly any bugs! Thank you for making us feel so at home and don't
worry about the construction noise it was no big deal at all. Take
care of your delightful beautiful children and we'll be back to see
you someday.
The diving on the different reefs was fantastic and the dive shop
you work with was very accommodating, fun and personable. We hope
to return the non "rainy season" to enjoy the diving even
more... Bryon and Douglas

Thanks again for a wonderful stay. You guys and this place should

Merci d nous avoir acceulli chez vous. Vous etes tous les deux chaleureux

Alexandra and Alfonso, El Salvador
Thank you again for such a wonderful hospitality! And even though
this one was such a quick weekend stay we still enjoyed every single
moment here at West Bay. We hope to see you again soon.
Roatan, December 12th, , 2004
Marilyn and Dick, Canada
Dear Lainie, Pascal, Olivier and Emilie. We are very sad to be leaving
our green oasis at Roatan. We have travelled the island and have learned
that we have chosen the best beach and the best hotel on the island.
We are particularly attached to our verandah where we have eaten every
meal, had our glasses of wine before dinner and enjoyed the sound
of the wind, and lazed the time away. Your beach houses are exceptionally
beautiful. We have loved our snorkeling experiences. Both on the West
Bay reef and at other locations. The best bonus is watching the rays
feed just 100 yards out from the beach in front of Island Pearl (Dawn
and Dusk) Thank you liliana for your kindness and good humour at our
poor spanish. Thankfully we both could communicate in Italian. We
are going to back to winter but our dreams will be of turquoise seas
and green palms (and maybe even Italians)

Ana, USA
Thank you for your hospitality.
Roatan, December 4th, , 2004
Cece and David, USA
Awakening each morning to the gentle lapping waves on the turquoise
sea was pure paradise. You have the most beautiful spot on the West
Bay Beach. Snorkeling on the reef in front of the Island Pearl is
breathtaking. It's a short swim to the reef where many schools of
fish abound in the clear crystalline waters. Thank you so much for
the artful decoration of the house and landscape. The superb ceramic
artistry in the house delighted us daily. As divers the proximity
to the Padi dive center next door was incredibly convienent. We enjoyed
our chats with you both and felt very welcome - and of course meeting
Emilie and Olivier was the highlight. On West Bay Beach in Roatan,
there are no bad days! We will return thank you.
Roatan, December 4th, 2004
John and Iliana, USA
After walking up and down the beach over the past week we can confirm
that this is the nicest spot on the island!!! Your attention to detail
in the houses and the beautiful grounds differentiate you from the
rest. When looking at the internet is is always difficult to know
if a place will be "perfect" we found it here at Island
Pearl. We know that the construction has been frustrating to you but
we can honestly say that is didn't put a damper on our vacation in
the least! We wish you all the best and thank you again for an incredible
week!

The Redd family reunion, USA
We all had a wonderful thanksgiving here at Island Pearl and on Roatan.
It was a great place for our extended family get together. The Seattle
Redds, Albuquerque Redds, Santa Fe Redds and Houston and SanFrancisco
Alexanders. The highlights:
- fabulous snorkeling
- the monkey la las
- night snorkeling with your lights thanks
- the Canopy ride
- very healthy intact reef
- our construction "wake up call"
- Lee at Banarama dive shop
- beautiful beach for building sand castles
- hammocks
- lunch at Romeos
- butterfly location/iguana farm
- not ever wearing shoes
- and of course the salva vida! and the monkey la Las (we had to say
it twice the coctail kind)

Roland Doris, Vanessa and Yannick,
Honduras (Germany)
Dear Lainie and Pascal, you have very beautiful accommodations right
next to the beach. We enjoyed our stay much more than last time at
Las Rocas. Hopefully the construction going on will not destroy nature
too much so also tourists in the future will be able to enjoy Roatan
and it's sea life. We saw may things here in roatan.
Roatan, November 19th, 2004
Jennifer and Drue, USA,
We're back to the snow and cold weather in Utah. The upside
is excellent skiing to look forward to this winter. Utah is a little
conservative; however the snow makes it worth it. Thank you for your
hospitality at Island pearl. We had a wonderful relaxing time...now
recharged to go back to the hustle and bustle of city and work. We
will have very fond memories of you and your place. thanks.
Roatan, November 5th, 2004
Debbie and Herman, USA
Even with all the change Roatan is seeing, we are still in paradise
at Island Pearl. Our honeymoon could not have been better, thanks
to you both. Your hospitality was generous. We look forward to having
you in our home soon, very sincerely.
Roatan, November 13th, 2004
Caroline and Wade, USA
Dear Lainie and Pascal, We have thoroughly enjoyed this incredibly
beautiful spot. I cannot imagine a more perfect setting for enjoying
the gorgeous swimming pool out front, the beauties within it and for
completely relaxing! Thank you for your hospitality for steering us
to the dive shop (great call) and for sharing your photos with us.
We will stay in touch about Argentina.

This was our first romantic getaway as a couple and we couldn't have
made a better choice. The Island Pearl is a cozy romantic getaway.
Roatan is a beautiful Island.

Stephanie & Sean, USA
We left Japan on Sept 1, 2004 where we lived for almost 4 years. We
have been traveling around Asia and Europe and decided to end our
trip down here with my parents This has been so wonderful, relaxing
and more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. The cottage
is so lovely and cute. We are already our next trip to Roatan and
Island Pearl. Sorry that we missed meeting you since you were not
here.
Roatan, October 26th, 2004
Steve and Hope and kids, USA (Mexico)
We had a great time at the Island Pearl. The gardener
was very nice and so was the young girl who also helped. The chair
situation was o.k. We had been out snorkeling and when we came back,
he had rented the chairs, but he handled it o.k.
Our daughter and her husband loved your place. We hope
to go back one day. The Island Pearl is so quaint and so much more
relaxing than those new places that are being built. We are giving
information about your place to our travel agent here in Mexico. She
had heard about Roatan, but did not have a lot of information.
Thanks again for providing a wonderful place for a relaxing
vacation.
Blessings to you and your family,
Roatan, October, 26th, 2004

A big New York family, USA
Lainie and Pascal, thank you for giving us the privelege to experience
the stay at Island pearl. We arrived late, however you were able to
accomodate us. The experience was beautiful and we will be back to
visit in the future. thank you, peace and joy to Roatan!
Roatan, August 21nd, 2004
Janinie and Greg, USA
You have created lovely cabins, Greg and I enjoyed our stay. The only
thing we missed with the french restaurant. We expect an invite when
it reopens. Island Pearl is definitely a jewel on this island - I'm
glad we were able to stumble upon it from Banarama. Enjoy life...(the
cruise line agent and real estate developer wink wink)
Roatan, August 20nd, 2004
Carlos and Lindsy, USA
We're leaving tomorrow and as I write Lindsy is doing our dishes.
We cooked a lot while we were here and had the pleasure of making
a tastey breakfast for on another every morning - and then venturing
out for what became our morning snorkel. There is so much to see in
the waters near here - from octopus (this morning) to shrimp to barracuda
and (Lindsy's favorite) the angel fish.
The quiet of the cabanas was ideal for the kind of soft, sometimes
well often-soothing conversations we had while down here. This week
was our honeymoon and coming so far from southern California for the
kind of peace we found here reminded us of just how important it is
to take a walk outside and listen forsounds other than car horns and
traffic. The quiet flutter of the occasional mosquito in our cabana
-while bothersome and distracting, was also a small tap on ourselves
telling us not to forget the rest of nature that disappears so quickly
while digging into our lives in Los Angeles.
Thank you, Pascal and Lainie (and your children) not only for your
hospitality, but for taking the time and initiative years ago to build
a small sanctuary where others could come and share in the paradise
you had already discovered. Of course just looking next door we can
see how the island has changed, but within the walls of this artful
little house while staring out at the sunset from the gorgeous beach,
we find some comfort in knowing that places like the Island pearl
exist - and we can come back. Abrazos.
Roatan, August 14nd, 2004
Louis and Rachel, USA
Thank you so much for having us in your beautiful "home".
Our honeymoon couldn't have been more perfect. The electricity went
out on the last day, but the air conditioner broke at our wedding,
so it seemed very fitting. Thank you for taking care of us while we
were sick too! but the beginning of our trip was the most perfect.
Calming, laying on the beach, snorkeling, eating an early dinner and
having my husband beat me at gin! We will definitely be back. We learned
much about marriage. Take the good with the bad and if it doesn't
make for a great memory, it makes for an even greater story. See you
on one of our anniversaries. With love...
Roatan, August 14nd, 2004
Jason and Anna, USA
Pascal is a fantastic cook. I never imagined so much could be made
out of a few vegetables and spices. Jason and I had such a fantastic
time speaking to you about life, politics, music , art and Roatan.
This is one of our better travel adventures. Island pearl is great!!
I love the room! So interesting and artful. I love the shower and
the Cuban art. The Island Pearl is built wih the land and not against
it, making it stand out in West Bay against all the others. I hope
you have much more adventure travels and fun as Jason and I will.
I really enjoyed staying here. Lainie and Pascal you are so great
and your children are beautiful, the staff is kind as are all of your
guests. I am really glad we stumbled on you all.
Roatan, August 12nd, 2004
Thomas & Juliette, USA
While planning our vacation together Thomas and I were looking for
a place that would offer the comforts of a home yet a place that would
make us forget the pressures of everyday life...and...that is exactly
what we experienced at the "Island Pearl". The cabañas
with their eclectic artful decor, the quiet evenings and beautiful
sunsets made our first vacation unforgettable. Pascal, Lainie, Emilie,
Olivier and their staff, many many thanks for adding something special
to our time here by making us feel welcome and for your gracious hospitality.
We will be sure to recommend your lovely place to our friends back
home who are looking for a unique place in Roatan. Until next time...

california. We will be back to visit. From Bill ...to Lainie: I leave
my winnie the pooh floaties to Olivier & Emilie in hopes that
they will soon fill them. I leave the yellow long float to you for
sunbathing in your beautiful ocean. I left Pascal six of my favorite
Tee Shirts and six beers. Please come see us in San Diego. Thanks
for the use of your phone, your computer and all of the special treatments.
Good luck in Ecuador.

Island Pearl est vraiment une perle. Cette place est fantastique.
Je ne croyais pas au paradi, mais maintenant si!! J'ai passé

Les appartements sont décorés avec gout et la vue est

Duncan & Melissa, USA
Thanks again Lainie and Pascal...our 2nd stay here was as wonderful
as our first. I'll talk to you soon about our reservation for next
year. To those after us: - the canopy tour is a blast. It was 35$
US. We walked up the hill/road behind here to get there. About 15
minutes and not for the faint of heart. - if you snorkel to the out
edge of the popular area off Tabayana, you'll see a nice group of
crevices and a drop off. - if you prefer a cab driver who drives slow,
look for Hector in 376 - Sueno del Mar under Eagle Rays has a nice
selection of cigars - forget six flags, or any amusement park just
hitch a ride by boat to Coxen Hole with Pascal instead...and hold
on!
Roatan, July 25th, 2004
Kimberlie & Aaron, USA
Thank you for your hospitality! Our casa is beautiful and we loved
the front porch! The Island Pearl has been a great place to relax
and spend time together and enjoy our honeymoon!! keep up the good
work and keep Roatan beautiful! Peace...thanks again for dinner:)
Kimberlie
Even with the world closing in around us the calm of
the ocean reminded me of the only permanence. The bugs may even be
bombed into oblivion but we will all keep looking for an escape over
as our thirst for modern amenities burns the forests and smothers
the reefs. I am in love and will remain hopeful. Aaron

What a splendid place to spend our honeymoon! The cabanas at Island
Pearl are so unique and beautiful... a true oasis amidst the rest
of West Bay. The artwork is fantastic! We had a wonderful time...morning
snorkel sessions afternoon reading and people watching on the porch,
evening water taxi rides and dinners with the sunset, midnight storms...yeah
we had a good time... Pascal and Lainie thank you for your hospitality
and for keeping it real. thanks also for helping us treat our various
stomach problems. As far as we are concerned, there is no where else
to stay on Roatan! much love.

Mary Ann and Glenn, USA
We chose Roatan and Island Pearl to get married/honeymoon after much
research on the Internet. What a terrific choice we made- West Bay
is serene, romantic and gorgeous; Island Pearl is by far the same
, along with creative architecture and design. There were a few glitches
- lost luggage, mosquito problem, lost wedding ring while diving (man's)
but Lainie and Pascal were more than accommodating in helping with
problems, We will never forget our lovely sunset wedding ceremony
on the beach with dinner following on the Island Pearl grounds. Thank
you for all you have done for us.
Roatan, July 4th, 2004

As with family our stay was a ride of emotions, insect bites, great
food and noise. Thank you for becoming part of our lives. You guys
are a definite part of the landscape of the lovely place and we'll
see you here again or well see you in Argentina!! whichever comes
first. As a former pirate I really enjoyed myself here in your haven.

Peter, Gail and Miles, USA
Where the sky meets the ocean and the wind meets the trees (at least
the ones still here), how appropriate that our family should meet
yours...thank you for your island hospitality and your wonderful little
pearl of a place that you greet guests from all over the world, many
like us who did not no what to expect, but became pleasantly surpised
to find a little paradise. Keep Roatan Beautiful! - but really. We
hope they will be able to stop the destruction of this beautiful island
by commercial interests who have little regard for what a natural
gem it is.

Your place is certainly the gem of the paradise. Your lovely garden
is so cool and relaxing. We enjoyed basking in the tropical breezes
on the porch - we even had a lil' crab that nightly visited us. We
had a great time seeing our lizard friend. The upstairs room was prefect
- opening the windows and turning on the fan - we slept like babies
(who needs A.C.) We also enjoyed being able to prepare meals - we
had a wonderful time. Thank you and Pascal for your hospitality. The
diving was fantastic here!

Dear Lainie and Pascal, Our visit here and our stay at Island pearl

good fight for the trees! Take Care.

Island Pearl was beautiful and exceeded our expectations, didn't get
to spend a whole lot of time at the resort because we came here to
dive and your dive shop and restaurant were closed. Would definitely
recommend this place. Let us know if you ever plan to see. Best Wishes.

I had been looking for that place where to go to escape the "rat
race". Your beautiful house #1 was just what the doctor ordered.
You are a "wonder woman" amazing to keep so many balls in
the air to keep the property in such good shape and raising your family
at the same time. You weren't in when we arrived but Pascal made us
feel right at home. Thanks for your warm hospitality and for all the
nice amenities you provided for us. We will miss your lovely place!
Also thank you much for your help in getting orientated, providing
for our short fishing outing and helping us with "that"
rental car company. Thanks Pascal Take care and be well.

I deliberated for quite some time on where to go on honeymoon and
after spending some time trawling through the Internet I decided that
Island Pearl sounded perfect. I must say that staying here has not
only met but exceed our expectations. The beach cottage was superb,
tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Nicky and I spend evenings
out on the patio sipping wine and watching the sunset through the
trees on the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the diving and the snorkeling
just a stone throw away from Island pearl was superb. You have a little
piece of paradise here and we both pray that it will stay this way
for many years to come. We have had a honeymoon that we will never
forget and hope to come back to Roatan and Island Pearl again. Merci
pour tout! C'etait parfait...a bien tot!

appreciated. Thanks for the introduction to Roatan and your friendly

Dear Lainie and Pascal. Thanks for making our first visit to Roatan
Island a memorable one. Great accommodation with maintaining the nature
of the Island. I hope the new construction won't deter your determination
to maintain this spot. Thanks for being so nice and friendly. Hope
to see you before too long has passed. Bod bless you and your family.

Lainie, Pascal, Olivier and Emily, merci beaucoup. Island Pearl is
a paradise in a paradise. The house was a home from home, beautifully
furnished. We loved the paintings. Such a restful peaceful spot. We
came in a storm and left in blaring sunshine. West Bay and Roatan
have really surprised us. We've had a wonderful beach before we return
to England.

A wonderfully decorated and comfortable house, great shower, and what
trees! Truly an ideal Roatan resort experience. I will definitely
recommend your place to anyone I can make listen. I will corner people
at parties and bore them at summer bar- b- q's talking of Island Pearl,
right on the beach, such white sand and blue water, heaven on earth
is what I'll tell them, that's right, heaven on earth is what I'll
say. Then I'll tell them about that horrible gringo just ruining beautiful
Roatan, cutting down the very trees that make this paradise, oh isn't
it terrible, and they'll say it just goes to show what a sad state
the world is in. My friends will all agree, and will one and all boycott
Century 21 real estate for at least one year and will make a point
of staying at Island pearl both for its luxury and for it's combination
of ecological and social responsibility, because that's the kind of
friends I have. Thank you from all our kids, thank your kids for the
generous loan of all the sand toys during their stay here, Isis thanks
you for the wonderful show and Edwin for the comfortable beds and
hammock. (He never slept so much in his life as the last day) When
it was stormy and I was bored instead of sleeping I just hung out
and wrote stuff down. We love you all and love Roatan. Peace and love
trees forever.

Your facility is one of the nicest on the island. You certainly keep

Thank you for a wonderful trip...I know our kids really enjoyed the
beautiful beach and we enjoyed being able to watch them from our porch
at Island Pearl...This is a perfect place for kids. That nature here
is phenomenal. We saw dolphins, sting rays, fish, crab, barracuda,
beautiful coral...right in front of our villa. We'll definitely be
back. thanks

Mary, Pat, Tom and Michelle, USA
Dear Lainie and Pascal;
My research prior to arriving in Roatan really paid off; we had absolutely
the best place to stay on the island. What we loved most was the feeling
that we were not only guests, but got a taste of your lives. Thanks
so much
for all the interesting and fun conversation, as well as all the other
amenities of a beautiful and incredibly creative beach front house,
relaxing, laid back atmosphere, and your openness to us.
We empathize with your situation of having to decide how to respond
to the
changes that are occurring on the island. Of course Pat will provide
any
additional information you may need regarding toxicology; and I will
send
the pacifiers for Emily! I will also get back to you regarding your
bone
spur. I hope your foot and ankle are feeling better.
Thanks again for everything; we loved every minute of our time with
you.

Our first trip to Honduras and to Roatan, a wonderful island. Beach,
one of the best we've seen! Loved your buildings, garden and many
extra touches in the architecture, Pascal fantastic job! We look forward
to a return trip for sure. Can be a busy beach but this is a jewel...private,
more peaceful, shady, and friendly. The construction site was not
a major problem. Thank you for your hospitality.

This was a lovely vacation for our family. My 2 boys got to spend
quality time with their beloved grandmother, and all of us enjoyed
each others company away from the pressures of everyday life. For
this, the setting could not have been better. Our 11 year old son
fulfilled his dream of becoming a certified diver, and our 8 year
old boy was enthralled by the coral reef fish and other creatures
he saw while snorkeling. Thank you lainie , Pascal and family for
preserving this bit of paradise specially for the wonderful trees.
Warmly the alderman family.

This has been an absolutely fabulous vacation. The house is beautiful

Yet again, you have managed to make this a wonderful vacation. We
love coming to visit your little paradise (even with the construction)
Thank you for making this so "Tranquila" for us. We loved
getting to spend time with you and your family. Thank you for helping
to arrange our boat trip, no vacation is complete for Dona without
a boat! I loved making my new friends, Olivier and Emilie. They are
wonderful kids and spending time playing with them was very special.
The Dolphins were great you were right, that was definitely worth
doing. I will send lots of pictures this year.
Lainie, you made this place more than a beautiful house, beach and
ocean. You have made this place a special island, where we get to
see old friends have long talks and relax. Roatan and Island Pearl
will always be a special place for us. Thank you again and see you
next year.

Another wonderful vacation in the haven of "Island Pearl"!
So many treasures to cherish...
-Relaxing in the "tree house" (as I call it!) - the delightful
terrace room upstairs off the bedroom - the island breezes waft over
you and soothe all your cares away.
-Family evenings on the patio, playing cards together or swaying in
the hammock, absorbed in a good book.
-"chattering"in a sign language and smiles with Marvin and
Carla
-Perfect, leisurely diving with Lee - floating, drifting amongst the
turtles, the clouds of blue Tang as the Eagle Ray soars majestically
by - underwater magic at it's best.
-Catching up on all the news, and putting the world "to rights"
with Lainie and Pascal, playing and dancing with Olivier and Emilie
- how charming they are, and how quickly they are growing!
May joy and delight keep close to your hearts, - until we meet again.

What a paradise. Island Pearl is truly a gem on West Bay Beach. It's
rare nowadays to find a small family run place to vacation that offers
both personalized service and enough privacy to make us feel like
we were in a secluded paradise. We'll miss the gorgeous beach and
absolutely amazing snorkeling.

Our first trip to Roatan and we lucked onto the beast place to stay
and the best part of the Island. We wish we could have seen this place
20 years ago or forty!
The Island Pearl cottages are lovely - such delicious Caribbean colours
and local art work, we quickly became immersed in a tropical, magical
world. We enjoyed the snorkeling - the swimming was fantastic. The
evening sounds of the surf and wind in the palms was sooo relaxing.

What a wonderful place! we walked in off the beach and felt right
@ home amidst the trees and wonderful garden. The house was just prefect,
lovely little touches authentic and funky - too bad for that terrible
racket next door - construction and building destroying the character
of Roatan- We will stay again hopefully the West End will not be too
destroyed - thank you for your wonderful hospitality.

Though we saw many other properties while we were here, none can compare

Dear Lainie & Pascal, for our honeymoon, my wife & I wanted
to find a special place. We could have gone anywhere in the world,
but it had to be tropical, beautiful, and peaceful. My wife did most
of the research, spending almost one year to find the perfect place
for us. We didn't want to be imprisoned by the schedule of a cruise
ship or touring company. We certainly didn't want to travel with the
herds of people that are like ants at a picnic. We wanted to enjoy
each others company. The people and the culture of an island. Upon
our arrival, we knew we had made the best decision. Island Pearl welcomed
us like a breath of fresh air. As soon as we entered our cabana, we
both exhaled every bit of stress we had. Pascal your design and art
work is world class. It was like experiencing another dimension. lainie,
I know that you were very concerned that the construction next door
would upset us. Don't worry about it. You offer so much more that
it is a minor nuisance. Your guests should not hesitate to spend time
at Island Pearl. We enjoyed swimming with the dolphins but we were
especially amazed when you took us out on your boat and we swam with
the whale sharks. Being in the water and watching those 40 foot fish
glide past you was surreal. Thank you for taking us to snorkel the
wreck at Palmetto Bay. It was an experience that we won't forget.
The best part of our trip was spending time with you and your family.
Typically, we prefer solitude on our vacations, but you opened up
your home and your hearts to us and treated us like VIP's. It's difficult
to describe your passion, personalities, and charm on a website -
so let us tell people how special that you made us feel on our honeymoon.
The two of you are the pearls of Roatan island! * we loved the tuna
tartar at les bucaniers!

Lainie and Pascal. Our first visit to Roatan was great, with the Island
Pearl made it even better. We wish the noise next door was not there,
it would have made it even better. You have such a wonderful place

Hope all goes well for you and your family.

Dear Lainie et Pascal, you are running a fabulous operation! The house
is beautiful - airy, convenient and a pleasure to look at. We loved
the colours, the tiles, the bathroom door, the paintings and other
wall hangings, the dishes, the table cloth, the porch furniture and
especially the shower! Thank you for your hospitality, for your friendliness
and helpfulness. The island of Roatan is beautiful and relaxing. The
people at the dive shop were wonderful too - friendly, capable, caring
and we had a great dive experience. We are only sorry your cook was
unavailable because so many people praised his culinary ability. Nous
vous remercions de tout. (and thank you also to Karla who kept us
tidy)
Roatan, January 9th, 2004
Susan and Chris, USA
Lainie and Pascal, we finally actually made it to Roatan and it was
worth the wait! the weather was just perfect, the beach is perfect
for swimming and snorkeling and if it weren't for the front-end loader
next door, it would have been downright peaceful! It was very enjoyable
breakfasting on the covered patio each morning, listening to the sound
of the gentle waves crashing and seeing the crystal blue water through
the palm trees. The diving was absolutely incredible and the sites
were so close by we could dive nearly each day and still have time
to enjoy lounging on the beach, snorkeling or going to West End! The
staff at the dive shop were great and really helped to make our diving
experience one of the best ever! The island of Roatan and it's reef
are so beautiful. I hope the developers don't ruin it all! Best of
luck to you and perhaps we'll see you again next year.
