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

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 always remain Roatan's best kept secret.

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)
Roatan, December 4th, , 2004

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)
Roatan, November 26th, 2004

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,
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

Encore merci et peut etre a bientot sur une autre ile? amicalement

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...

Island Pearl est vraiment une perle. Cette place est fantastique. Je ne croyais pas au paradi, mais maintenant si!! J'ai passé un sejour mémorable. Je le recommanderai a plusieurs personnes. Les appartements sont décorés avec gout et la vue est magnifique. Et j'y reviendrai. Merci pour tout cela.

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.

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 was wonderful. We think that you have the most beautiful place.

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" amaxing 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 arrivied but Pascal made us feel right at home. Thanks for your warm hopsitality 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.

Nicky & Mark, USA
I deliberated for quite some time on where to go on honeymoon and after spending some time trawling throughthe internet 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!

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 eath 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 Centry 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 hammockes. (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.

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, arracuda, beautiful coral...right in front of our villa. We'll definitely be back. thanks

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 divier, 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.

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 majetically 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 quicky they are growing!
May joy and delight keep close to your hears, - 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 pricaty 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 fourty...!
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 realxing.

What a wonderful place! we walked in off the beach and felt right @ home admist the trees and wonderful garden. The house was just pefect, 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.

Gordon and LB, USA
Dear Lainie & Pascal, for our honeymoon, my wife & I wanted to find a speical 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 and setting it is a shame to see what they are doing next to you. Hope all goes well for you and your family.

Dear Lainie et Pascal, you are running a fabulous operation! The house is beautiful - airy, convienient and a plasure 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 beaufiful 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 abolutely 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.
