Like: super close to everything. Disliked: Building is beautiful, rooms were not what we expected - towels were old and with holes, bed were old and very noise. comforters were broken and with holes, pillows were super thin and old. No fridge. Rooms are not as shown in the pic posted. And of course elevator wasn't working. We were in the 3rd floor. There is NOT American breakfast, just a menu of three different options. Unbelievably, reception is closed from 10 pm to 6 am. So, if something happens you can contact no-one. Staff is friendly.

If you are not diving a lot, or going snorkeling a lot on boat trips, skip Roatan entirely. I can't see why you would want to go there for beach time given the cost and nothing really unique about it other than maybe it is mostly calm, and there is very little else to do on the island. If you really want to go, West End is a better option than West Bay as there are more shops and restaurants and such. But the beach there, what there is of it, is nowhere near as good. If you decide to rent a car, be prepared for driving crazyness everywhere. And BEWARE the sand fleas/flies. Also know that you are not supposed to flush ANY toilet paper - it goes into a can next to the toilet. Ugh. Grand Cayman and Aruba are WAY better for an all around island vacation.

West Bay is a perfect place to go with family, friends, or for a romantic getaway. Easy trailing, loads of food options, great reasonably priced accommodations right at the beach, incredible snorkeling just feet offshore, diving and other adventures. So wonderful. The reef has deteriorated quite a bit since we were first there in 2007, but there is still stunning marine life to see while snorkeling or scuba diving. Highly recommend for all ages.

West bay is absolutely beautiful! The view is stunning and all the food options are great! The beaches are beautiful. The only thing I will say is the amount of vendors on the beach selling things, and we were there for 5 hours and were asked to get braids, tees, bracelets, etc. at least 10 times

It was a fantastic vacation. The Argentian Grill is a must go to in West Bay!! Before leaving the States, go to your bank and get plenty of ones, fives, and ten-dollar bills. They don't have change for twenty-dollar bills. Last item, watch out for the ladies running the beach offering massages.

The West Bay Area is awesome. They have nice resorts, restaurants, and beaches. The people are friendly and most speak English. They do have a lot of locals selling their goods on the beach but you just have to say no and they leave you alone. I would visit this area again but would never stay at Bananarama again. Our family had 6 rooms and they were all shabby. The staff is excellent. They just have nothing to work with as far as the rooms go.
