(Beach View of Mayan Princess, West Bay, Honduras)

You may be surprised to find where the next big Caribbean vacation is located.  The 'Mayan Princess Beach & Dive Resort' is voted 'Best of the Best' by Tripadvisor and is in one of the most beautiful and surprising places of of the Caribbean, 'Roatan, Honduras.'  You must hurry if you want to see this gorgeous island before major development erases it's current rustic state.

Is Mayan Princess right for?

Depending on your age, you may associate Honduras with political & military scandal and even drug cartel news stories.  That however is in the past, and mostly isolated to mainland Honduras.  Today, the tourism industry has begun making major investments into the incredible island of Roatan, located approximately 40mils/65 kilometers off the northern coast of Honduras.

• Because of Honduran history,  you will see Roatan shares many similarities with parts of Mexico

• Roatan is an ideal destination for early adopters, adventurers, and the young at heart, but do not let this statement stop you from missing a jewel before it becomes over touristed

• As a getaway for couples, newly wed and newly engaged will especially appreciate starting their lives together by experiencing this emerging new hot spot while it's still over looked and under rated

Language:

Spanish is the primary spoken language of Honduras, however many people in the tourism industry do speak English, and most signage is in both English and Spanish.  If you adventure out on your own, you should anticipate running into a few language barriers if you do not have someone traveling in your group who speaks Spanish.
