![]() Once underwater they learned to recognize the disease, tagging corals, applying the product, taking pictures, carry tools and become part of a very intense volunteering program that hopefully could help fight back this terrible “underwater Covid” as the teen’s themselves decided to call it. The teens learned about coral colonies and specification, identification by their scientific name, preparation the product. Our Dive Scouts received a full course by Damaris and Zara from RMP. ![]() Lot’s of monitoring and data collection, corals to tag, pictures to take. We have to be very selective regarding which colonies to save, the size of the corals and of the lesion. Since the disease arrived to the island, the Roatan Marine Park and BICA organizations have been intervening. The goal is to slows down or stop the spread of the disease. Intervention trials with a mixture of a special epoxy and antibiotic have been used on specific species of corals. ![]() Large organizations like NOAA have been pioneers in trying to find a solution since the disease appeared in Florida in 2014. It spreads out by direct contact and water circulation. SCTLD is a lethal disease caused by a bacteria that attacks over 20 species of corals and is particularly aggressive. Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease or SCTLD became a reality also for Roatan, and unfortunately we will have to face it. We have our own private beach and private access to the snorkeling spot.all I need is to put on my snorkeling gear (minus the foot gear) at the porch, then you will be snorkeling 30 seconds later.Thanks to the Roatan Marine Park and some very proactive parents, we became part of a not so pleasant moment in the coral reef history. Again, YOU WILL BE SLEEPING STEPS away from a snorkeling spot, I bet you can't easily find that elsewhere! Well, I stumbled upon it. #5- THE REASONS YOU SHOULD STAY HERE! Remember you pay those top $$ and then taking a long boat ride to find a snorkeling spot? How about spend a night at (or 10 feet away) from the reef/ snorkeling spot? Half moon resort uniquely offers you just that. Again, my clean room does have a minor trace of sand and 5-10 small/ non-threatening beach insects, again, I did not get bitten in the room with the AC on. The rooms are clean as expected you can find in a beach cottage, if you look for zero sand and ZERO beach insect in or around a beach resort, I think you are being unreasonable. The bed is not overly firm, exactly the type I want it. But if you are looking for elegant carpet, fancy tiles and 24/7 full concierge service with valet parking, this place is not for you. Half Moon Bay sits at the entrance of West End it is a delightful protected cove which offers fantastic snorkeling, paddleboarding, swimming and the iconic isoar (or the ilean, depending on your perspective) a salvaged sailboat with a rope swing. Again, all your basic amenities are here. There is one main beach in West End, and the entire community is essentially beachfront. #4- The property is sturdyly built on top of volcanic rocks, all types of room have the rustic beach cottage look/feel, and the rooms function that way, no fancy wall art or expensive decor, just straight up quality wood cabin feel with adequate air conditioning. During my stay, its bar and restaurant and PEDI center are closed for the season, I was given notice, and I totally expected that. #3- Please understand that this place is not a FULL Service resort that runs by some big corporation, it is a family-run business, and everyone works there has a name with a huge smile.not fake smile, but honest smile that actually wants to give you the best service that they can offer. ![]() If you’re seeking more thrills, feel free to embark on. ![]() Infinity Bay, Spa & Beach Resort (from USD 409) Across West Bay Beach, Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort proudly showcase its 300-foot-long (91-meter) infinity pool, enough for families to have endless hours of fun. At no time, the manager or the owner of this place ever suggested or "encouraged" me to write this review, this is coming from my heart, so take it or leave it. Below are some of the best all-inclusive resorts in Roatán, Honduras. #2- I personally visited this place and paid the advertised room rate, my review is my honest opinion. #1- I rarely post review, but when I do, that means the place/ owner deserves some recognition, and the public should know something unique about it. Half Moon Resort in West End, Bay Island, Roatan, Honduras is NOT just another beach resort with ocean view and sandy beach! It is all that plus MORE!Ĥ of us recently stayed in the Half Moon resort for 3 nights in May 2022! We had an incredible time at the property. ![]()
