We liked the Maya Key excursion, which includes beaches, snorkeling (with a guide), a small zoo, buffet lunch, swimming pool, lockers/showers. gift shop, etc. It is peaceful and less crowded than the main tourist attractions. The key is just a short boat ride from the arrival pier, and you can return early to see other sights in Roatan. NEbluebird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveinSC Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Ive been to Tabyana Beach (which is really West Bay Beach) and its very nice. There are a few other resorts you can get a day pass for, there. Look up Mayan Princess, or Infinity Bay. Ive been looking into Little French Key, for our upcoming cruise, and it looks fantastic with (overall) great reviews. miamimusicman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoski Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 For us a must do in Roatan was the sloths. We went with Daniel Johnson to his place and it was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went with Daniel Johnson to his place and it was great. We are looking at doing this one. My primary concern is getting my wife to see the sloths early, as I hear they go to sleep around 11. I don't know if I want to do the "park only" version and get back to the port pretty early, or if I want to do the "park and Las Palmas" one where they promise to get you back to the port at least an hour before. Is there a nice area for shopping at the port? Hoski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a nice area for shopping at the port? When you make the reservation tell them you want to hold the sloths and want that to be a priority and they will. We skipped the beach portion and our driver did a little extended version of the island tour that they include after the sloth park. I got a couple of things from local vendors while waiting for our guide to take us to the sloth park but other than that we were not impressed with the shopping at the port. We did get to go to the chocolate factory as part of the island portion. Now it isn't a huge place but has good chocolate and a decent free tour.

It's a pretty small shopping area at the port..not worth rushing back to spend a huge amount of time at. I would say 1 hour is more than enough unless you are wanting to hit up the Diamonds International Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed behind to swim as it wasn't advertised in the booking but we brought our stuff anyone. Had the beach to ourselves practically. There was a guide who took us out to the reef for snorkling just for tips. It was by far the best place we've snorkled so far! Would 1000 percent do it again! Saw sea turtles, eel, octopus, tons of fish. Wish we had taken our guides card to share! Was this a Royal excursion or one you did on your own ?

miamimusicman Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I just went to Roatan (though not with Royal . . . ). We did Tabyana Beach in West Bay. The price was right (only about $40 per person), and the beach was great. It's more rustic than some others, but that is appealing to me personally. Snorkeling tours and gear rentals are available right there, and a short walk down the beach are places where you can rent jet skis, get a banana boat ride, book a glass bottom boat, etc. It was the best beach we went to on this cruise.
