Fodor's Expert Review Turquoise Bay Resort
Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras
This intimate all-inclusive resort is in its own world on the northeast side of the island. Clusters of whitewashed cabins dot the grassy hill overlooking the—you guessed it—turquoise bay. Palapa umbrellas shade rows of lounge chairs along the 500-foot stretch of private beach where the dock houses kayaks, paddleboats, and Jet Skis for rent. The resort is popular among couples who wish to indulge in utter peace and quiet, although weekend discounts and charter airline partnerships aim to draw in younger families as well. There's an award-winning dive center on the grounds, and the restaurant has a decent à la carte menu.
PROS
- cozy rooms offer idyllic views of the breathtaking bay
- tour operator on premises
CONS
- escaping the peace and quiet requires a 45-minute drive west
- the bar and restaurant close at 10 pm with little else to do on-site
