Inn of Last Resort

Spent a week in Roatan at the Inn of Last Resort. The weather was beautiful all week. Good place to dive from as all dive sites were only a 10 to 15 minute trip. Week started with choppy conditions and less than perfect visibility but by Day 3 everything cleared. Marinelife is sparse compared with 10 years ago but is still worth the trip.

The Inn is run and owned by a caring couple who bend over backwards to please the guests. Food is OK although portions at time don't always please a hungry diver. Meals are served to ladies first so more often than not they are finished eating before their male companions get served.

It seems that all the employees are heavy smokers, especially the dive masters. All three boats go out with a pilot and a dive master which makes help surfacing difficult especially with a boat captain that prefers not to do any real lifting. They desperately need a second mate onboard to assist divers.

The rooms are comfortable with good air conditioning, however, there is no television or radio so bring plenty of reading material and plan on early bed-times. Electrical outages occurred at least once a day and at times more often.

All in all, a good bang for the buck but forget about any entertainment beyond diving.
