Dear Lila, Eric, Cheyenne and Lakota, thank you very much for an unforgettable
vacation. Valerie had a lot of fun playing with your children. We
had a wonderful time with the dinner organized by all the guests.
It was a wonderful experience to get to knw so many people from different
cultures. Our best wishes…

Randy and Linda, USA
Lila, Eric and Cheyenne, we had fun looking forward to coming to this
place for two months before we got here. The internet pictures and
coming here with the family had our expectations sky high. We are
thrilled to report our eight days were even better than we had hoped.
The beach and snorkeling were beyond fabulous. We found so many friendly
people and made very pleasant life-long memories. Thanks for the special
Thursday eat-out and for taking such great care of us. New friends
from the North!
PS…How about those sand structures!

Dearest Lila, Eric, Cheyenne and Lakota, this vacation has been wonderful!
It has been about 15 years since we've had the opportunity to take
a vacation together and we couldn't have imagined it could be any
better. Thank you for being so hospitable and welcoming to us. Getting
to know your family as well as the other families on the trip has
been amazing. From doing nothing on the beach to our great pot luck
evening, every day has been fun and memorable. Thank you for taking
such great care of us!

Chad and Lindsay, USA
Absolutely beautiful! … very quaint and comfortable and on the
best stretch of beach in the Caribbean. It feels more like staying
with family and friends than in a resort. Thanks for everything Lila
and Eric, can't wait to come back. Best wishes.
Dicembre 2006
Kay and Rick, Isaac and Vanessa, USA
Lila and Eric,
We had a really great Christmas week. You two made it do extra special.
We will be back again.
Best place on the beach - had a great time. The craftsmanship
of the houses is unbelievable. Highlight was the Thursday night party.
Eric and Lila were an extra bonus. Thanks for everything.
Had a great time, people staying in other houses at Island
Pearl are great; the place is so unique. Thanks for everything, Eric
and Lila and hope to see you again sometime!

Alessandra and Giovanni, Italy
E stata una bella sorpresa per noi scoprire che all interno dell isola
di Roatan c'e un'altra isola, quell ache come una perla si affaccia
alla bellissima spiaggia. Poco cemento qui ma solo Quattro belle casette
che non occorre essere architetti per apprezzare, immerse in un discreto
giardino di palme. Un'isola appunto, rispetto a cio'che si incontra
appena fuori di qui… La speculazione edilizia non ha risparmiato
Roatan! E non ultima la sollecita ospitalita di Lila attenta e cortese
padrona di casa che speriamo di riincontrare in Italia in un tempo
prossimo. A presto

What a wonderful place with such a beautiful beach. Also, thanks for

Diane and Bob, USA
Lila and family, Muchas Gracias! Our stay at Island Pearl was wonderful,
world class resort, excellent hosts. Snorkeling was great. Fishing
was outstanding. I caught many barracuda, Jacks snappers and yellowtail.
We cooked up some in our cabana and it was delicious. Weather was
a little off but I wanted to come during peak fishing and we got a
lot of rain. We rented a car and drove all of the drivable roads on
the island. We went to Jonesville on Sunday and took a water taxi
to Hole in the Wall restaurant, a must do activity! I wish we would
have come about 5 years earlier then maybe we could have afforded
the real estate - we looked for a lot but the developers beat us.
We are looking forward to coming back. God bless you for preserving
a piece of paradise.
Novembre 25, 2006
Steve and Amelia, USA
Lila and Eric, we had a wonderful stay at the Pearl! The diving was
awesome; the fish truck was great; our cabana was very cool! Thank

Amy and Mike, USA
Lila and Eric, honeymooning at the Island pearl was the perfect choice;
so tranquil and as a result 2 weeks became 3 weeks. Thank you for
not only looking out for our needs, but for inviting us into your
family for dinner and entertainment sewed up by Cheyenne and Lakota.
A good place managed by the best people. It was so special. We will
never forget it. Thank you!!! Muchas Gracias!!! Merci beaucoup!!!

Lila thanks for being so accommodating and attentive. Our vacation
couldn't have been more perfect except for the fact that it had to
end. ;-( We really feel like we have stumbled upon something special
by discovering Roatan and Island Pearl and are excited to tell others
and soon return! Thank you so much for everything. PS We loved the
fact that there are no clocks!!

Septembre 24, 2006
Roger and Julie, USA
This, our second visit to Roatan and Island Pearl, was for our honeymoon.
As before West Bay provided us with clear blue skies and fabulous
snorkeling everyday. Lila was a wonderful hostess welcoming us, chatting,
giving us a list of good restaurants and calling them to find out
if any were closed, and arranging a rental car for us that was delivered
to and picked up from the Island Pearl. It couldn't have been more
convenient and was excellent price. We loved the beachfront villa
again, spending many hours sitting on the porch under the ceiling
fans reading and looking at the white sand and clear blue waters.
We'll be back!!
Septembre 23, 2006
Gahmida, Mindy and Rose, USA
This was a great trip!! In fact it was BRILLIANT!! Our villa is artistically
unique. We loved every minute of it. It was well beyond our expectations.
You and your staff were wonderful, and very accommodating. We enjoyed
every aspect of island living. Thanks so much for everything. PS:
to the readers.
1. How long did it take you to figure out that off is by far its weight
in gold!!
2. What time did you go to bed at night?!!
3. And how much drink did you have?!!
Septembre 22, 2006
Luke and Helen, England
Lila, what a great place!...Welcoming, relaxing, hot and sunny. We
have had a great time sleeping snorkeling and diving as well as trying
to evade the sand flies. Island Pearl is so quiet and unassuming that
we often missed our turn when walking along the beach. A real hidden
treasure!
Septembre 10th 2006
Katrin and Johannes, Germany
We travel a lot and have seen many places all over the world, but

We want to thank you for all of your help, it is greatly appreciated!

Lila and Eric, thank you for being so lovely to us. The island is
brilliant and the beach at island Pearl is gorgeous. We loved beach
house # 1 and hope to return as soon as our pocket book will allow.

Biki, Michiko and Jose Francisco, USA-Japan-Honduras
We had a great time during our brief stay here. The island was amazing
and we were lucky to enjoy the gorgeous weather. West Bay truly is
the host to the most amazing waters, with a great variety of colorful
tropical fishes that novices like us can enjoy through snorkeling.
Thank you very much and we hope to return in the near future.
Agosto 8, 2006
Damien, USA
Although this time our stay was short, I found West Bay and Island
Pearl to be exactly as I had remembered it. Thank you for a wonderful
time and the delicious coconuts!
Agosto 8, 2006
Kayla Witmer, USA (8
yrs old)
I liked it because of the water and sand. I liked the sand because
you can make sand castles and other things. I liked the water because
you can swim and see lots of fishy.

Gerald, Marlene, Ryan & Austin,
USA
We had a wonderful time at Island Pearl and felt very welcomed. The
setting in the palms was perfect. We were well taken care of over
and above the expected. We hated to leave. We'll always have special
memories from our stay at Island Pearl.
Agosto 4, 2006
Jeremy and Nicole, WA, USA
We were on our honeymoon. It started out with the lights out but by
the next day Lila quickly provided us with candles and a flashlight.
The power never really went out only late at night. We love the quiet
setting, the trees, beautiful white sand, and air conditioning. We
did have a roommate, a baby gecko ;-). Thanks to our tour-guide, Cheyenne,
who took us snorkeling and to the canopy "Gumbalimba" Park.
Oh! Don't forget little Lakota too. Bring sun block and bug spray.
We had a wonderful time.
Agosto 4, 2006
Lisa and Fabrice,

Lila Eric and Pascal, what a perfect vacation, the Island Pearl is

Melinda and John LeSueur, USA
My wife and I spent some of our first days here together and they
were beautiful, quiet and restful. The reef is so close; we saw something
new every day. Our house was a perfectly quiet, cool haven when the
sun was too strong, and the greenery surrounding the house was perfect.
The punch wagon was great and our bathroom was magnificent!

Don, Deborah, Sam and Barbara , USA
Island Pearl: Island living as it should be, a simple quiet sanctuary,
our antidote to the hustle and bustle of the modern world; a palm-shaded
oasis surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Caribbean, astonishing
shades of blue and green clear water lapping gently on white sand
beach, palms rustling in warm breezes. All of this at our finger tips
- Paradise found! We will be back.

is so close to Island Pearl.

David was right…your place is definitely different than all the
rest and much appreciated by us for our first "retirement"

growth that is coming. We wish you the best of luck wherever you go…Morocco,
Patagonia…?? We are very glad that we had the chance to experience
Island Pearl while you two are still here; our luck, to be sure! Thanks

Robey and I think this spot on the beach is the best. We enjoyed the

down there!!

Island Pearl is everything we were looking for in a vacation. It is
secluded enough to offer privacy when wanted, yet very convenient
to dining and activities. We only regret that your restaurant was
not open during our stay. Yours is the best setting on the best beach
in Croatian. Thanks for everything.

so amazing to leave the cold winter snow and arrive in a hot really
really nice paradise! Airplanes do amazing things! We are so sad to

Kate, USA
I'm in paradise here at Island Pearl. The view from the porch can't
be beat. It is absolutely gorgeous here. this is the most relaxing
vacation I have ever experienced. The snorkeling is wonderful. Having
the dolphins swim into the bay was truly amazing. I was able to grab
a mask and snorkel and swim right up to them. Having them swim within
10 feet of me was wonderful! I will never forget this experience.
p.s. I love the artwork.
Marzo 3, 2006
Jill, USA
This is the most relaxing week I have had in years. Thanks for your
hospitality on this gorgeous beach in Roatan. I think morning is my
favorite time here, sitting on the porch and watching the sun slowly
turn the water to aquamarine. No tv, no phone, no computor, this has
been a great escape. I hope one day I can come back.
Marzo 3, 2006
Renee, USA
When I think of paradise, it will be your wonderful Island Pearl on
the most beautiful beach. Today we swam with dolphins in the bay.
The baby stayed close to mom and dad but what a treat when they swam
right up to us. The snorkeling is some of the best I've ever experienced
- saw some parrot fish, barracude, eagle rays and squid awesome! Your
beachfront villas offer the best view on the island and your staff
is friendly and work hard to make us comfortable until next time!
Marzo 3, 2006
Kris & Dave, USA
We loved our stay! The place is just beautiful, very peaceful. The

loved our patio in Cabin #3. We spent many afternoons in the hammock
watching a sweet baby parrot (wild)! Thanks for the R & R. Now
its back to the real world.

Lainie & Pascal, thank you so much for a wonderful week in roatan
at the Island Pearl! We truly enjoyed the fabulous beach and the snorkeling,
swimming etc was all superb as well! You are definitely the best place
to stay on the entire beach. With that I must say it is a shame the
cruise boats bring in so much garbage, I mean this litteraly and figuratively!
They would be our only complaint. The villas are perfect for every
relaxing moment and with the beach only steps away there really is
no need to go so far! This is such a perfect place for both family
and friends we will definitely return! When we left Colorado it was
-15 F so we are all not looking forward to the remaining winter ahead!
But you have provided us with a week of wonderful warmth, laughter
and the much needed relaxation. thank you again! Until next time...

The water here is wonderful - no current, calm and gorgeous coral
passages and white sand. Scuba diving at the hole in the wall was
beautiful - at 120 feet down winding through narrow tunnels of coral
it seemed to be only 30 feet deep because of the excellent visibility.
We saw a juge (6.5 feet) green moray which is the largest I've ever
encountered in my 175+ dives and decades of snorkeling and skin diving.
Here off the beach we saw lots of sea life: 3 black/white striped
3 foot long eels (not morays), A 4.5 foot long nurse shark, several
medium sized lobsters, an enourmous black and white spotted eagle
ray (5 foot wing span), several smaller sting rays, a big octopus,
who turned white to blend in with sand as we dove down to investigate,
many small flounders and several medium sized barracudas. Snorkeling
at sunset was a great time to see the rays and the water was delightfully
warm. So the water was perfection, but on land it was not! So many
people and so much noise. The beach towards West End is littered and
it amuses me to see "Keep Roatan Beautiful" on the construction
signs which of course is contributing to the opposite a congested
island. If you two make it to San Fransisco please look us up.

We are sorry that we didn't know about Island Pearl. It is a beautiful
place. We stayed in one of your houses which it was very nice and
spacious. I love the decorations all around the house. I thought my
kids wouldn't have a nice time here but, they really enjoyed playing
in the garden. Therefore a TV or a swimming pool wasn't necessary.

Having travelled around the island by car and boat we can definitely
say that Island Pearl is the most beautiful place to stay (as if you
don't already know that ...:) The dinner was superb and we will return
to London with only positive memories. If you find some other beautiful
spot in the world please let us know!

We had the most wonderful vacation of our lives, the diving was awesome,
the people we met were terrific, the beautiful beach and water. Wish
we were staying longer.

Roatan will live in our memory for the fun and the fabulous, the simple
and the sublime. Snorkeling in Flowers Bay, fresh lobster and conch
on Alex's sailboat, the warm turquoise surf on northern winter bodies,
a breathtaking swing through the jungle canopy, grilled grouper at
Gio's. Your Island Pearl was the perfect base for these Roatan Memories.

Lainie Y Pascal, Ok, you must come to Island Pearl with someone you
love! Don't bring too much clothing! This place is for romance. In
fact, romance just happens here so if you have lost some of the romance
in your relationship, don't buy a book on it, come here for a week
and it will happen 100% guaranteed! love Bob and Maricella

You've a great spot here! Only problem is that we have to leave way

Lainie and Pascal, We knew we would return one day - together - it
finally happened! Of course it was more wonderful than 2 years ago
and we so appreciated your hospitality and thank you Lainie for the
evening snorkel. Tom enjoyed having you as a dive partner, my ears
giving me trouble, next time I want to dive with you. We hope your
juice wagon continues to assist winning the war, and that the construction
next door is over soon. These pas 10 days have been glorious, we will
return when Pascal opens the restaurant!

Lainie and Pascal, thank you for hospitality and the opportunity to
enjoy the paradise you have created within paradise itself. I hope
to have opportunity to return again and that the Island Pearl will
endure the onslaught of condos. Snorkeling was wonderful, sunshine
was fabulous and the wine was wonderful.

Thank you so much for your hospitality. Island Pearl is by far the
best hotel/resort on roatan! We have enjoyed our stay here so much
and would love to come back. We appreciate the opportunity to experience
Honduras through the eyes of people who truly love it. We hope that
were ever life takes you and your children it is magical and fulfilling.
Keep us posted on your status.

Bien venidos! That is what we felt the moment we arrived until the
day we departed. A place to relax and you find yourself upset if you
wind up with less than 10 hours of sleep. Traveling extensively around
the world - it's easily apparent the wonderfully eclectic and wholesome
layout...just how much effort has been put in to enjoy a little piece
of sunkist heaven.

Estamos muy complacidos de haber disfrutado nuestras vacaciones en
este hermoso hotel, las cabanas estan muy confortables y la decoraciones
y detalles las hacen mas acogedoras. La ubicacion frente al la mejor
playa de Roatan y el buen ambiente hicieron que nuestras vacaciones
fueran "pura Vida" Estamos seguros de que recommendaremos
a nuestras amigos que visiten roatan y se hospeden en Island Pearl.

Murry family reunion, Oregon
As we sip our last cup of coffee on the verandah we remember the great
week we had here at Island Pearl. Our family of thirteen spread out
in the three homes enjoyed the sun, the wind and the rain. Coming
to Honduras has been a great experience, learning about the different
cultures, trying new foods at Las Rocas, and Bite on the beach, but
the best meal by far was our dinner with Pascal and Lainie. As Pascal
and all the men in our family prepared the fish, lobster and shrimp
we all took time to enjoy the beautiful island and new friends that
we have met. Then as we departed for bed a storm came blowing in and
we all woke up to a 41 foot sail boat on the beach Wow! What a sight.
Another adventure we had was swimming with the dolphins. That water
was crystal clear and you can see the dolphins skimming through the
water, then all of a sudden they are right in front of you begging
for kiss, this is a must see! So as we get ready to say good-bye our
children with pink cheeks, braided hair and toothless smile (lost
first tooth here) have created memories that will last them a lifetime.
And the adults have enjoyed the beautiful island, the new friendships
and the wonderful family time we all created. Pascal, Lainie, Olivier
and Emilie thank you for the wondefrful time and great memories.

Island Pearl was everything we had hoped it would be. We wanted an
uncrowded place where our family of 5 could enjoy the beach, relax,
snorkel and dive and we did it all here. We didn't take advantage
of using the kitchen much but found enough options for all of us at
the West Bay restaurants. Our favorite overall was the Bite on the
beach for good food and the outdoor atmosphere (the kids really enjoyed
watching the eels) the highlight of snorkeling was seeing a 4 foot
barracuda but we really enjoyed seeing the other aquatic life and
coral as well. Our stay was great and the kids had a great time playing
in the courtyard with the other family that was visiting.

I loved your creativity and helpfulness. The little house and big
view is unforgettable! Janis
Our stay with you was very comfortable and happy. The
cottage is beautiful and I loved the unique decor. Thank you for your
warm friendly hospitality. Pam
Thanks for your helpfulness and gracious hospitality.
I loved the ambiance of the cottage and artsy pieces in the rooms.
Roatan was full of memories for me that I won't forget, swim with
Pilot whales, diving, sunsets, nights dives, canopy tours ect. Julie
Thank you Lainie and Pascal, we had the most wonderfully
relaxing time. Your so lucky to be living in paradise. We always feel
like we need more time. You know a month or two. My friend Julie and
our mothers have wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Anna

What can we say...we just had a blast here! It really is paradise,
everyday we just grew to love it more and more and our little house
was perfect, we loved cooking, the sitting room and hammock outside...we're
very sad to leave. Thank you for all your help and hospitality, you
made our visit so enjoyable, we're so impressed, we couldn't have
asked for a better and more relaxing honeymoon.

Thank you Lainie and Pascal for an unbelievably relaxing honeymoon!
We so enjoyed the beautiful beach house and getting to know both of
you! It was great to have such a well equipped kitchen to cook romantic
dinners in. We hope to come back in the future for anniversaries and
maybe one day with our kids! Thanks again.

Merci a vous deux. Je m'oublierai jamais l'aide que vous m'avez apporte.
Mon sejour chez vous fut plus qu'agreable. J'y ai trouve calme, tranquilite
ainsi que des gens qui on le courage de leur convictions. Continuez
il n'y a pas assez de gens comme vous sur terre.
p.s. le personnel est aimable et servicable.

Il est des choix que l'on ne regrette pas. Certes, les guides vous
donnent plein d'infos sur les hotels mais personne ne vas decrire
le plaisir de boire un verre de vin le 31 decembre avec Pascal et
Lainie. Merci pour votre acceuil et la beaute de vos cabanes. Bravo
pour ne pas avoir baisse les bras devant les gringos et les moustiques.
Votre hotel est mgnifique, la vue que j'adore, je crois
que ca va etre dur de la quitter.
Tel un valeureux galois des temps modernes, resistant
a l'invasion barbere des "betonneurs", voila Pascal et son
Island Pearl, chaleureux, acceuillant, grace a sa french touch. Toute
tropicale! No Pasaran! Hasta la proxima, peut etre sous d'autres cieux.
