Fodor's Expert Review Bo Bush's Island House Resort

Tropical forests and mystic waterfalls envelop this dive hotel on Guanaja's solitary northern coast. Mahogany cabins with Spanish tile floors and louvered windows hug the shoreline, where boats gather around the two-storied pier. On the top level, the Green Flash Bar and Restaurant serves the catch of the day and cold beer. The chef cooks three delicious meals a day for guests, and on an island with few outside resources, there are surprisingly few repeats. The best dive sites in the Guanaja Marine Preserve are right around the corner from the resort. with intimate excursions led by the hotel's owner.
