My wife works in the airline industry & we fortunately can travel pretty much anywhere we want. We love to find new places & rarely come back to the same destination a second time. We just made our third trip to St George's Caye Resort. Why 3 times when we could go anywhere in the world? First, it's close enough and easy enough to get to, only a 20 minute boat ride from the main land, but remote enough that we're away from any typical "tourist" activity. The diving is fantastic, some of the best we've ever experienced. The chef and food are is tremendous. The spa, massages, etc. were a great new addition as is the swimming pool. One of our favorite activities is the BBQ at the sand bar (see photo). Out in the middle of the ocean is a shallow sand bar. They bring out a BBQ and prepare your lunch. It's an experience all in itself. The trips to the mainland include Cave Tubing, visits to Mayan ruins, Zip Lining and more. If you want to relax, be pampered & have adventure GO!

I always stay at Capt. Don's and have come to know the staff as friends. I think they have the best location on the island for off-the-dock diving and I love the "diving freedom" concept.

I have stayed here over and over again. The hotel is wonderful. Very clean, great rooms, great service, good food. The hotel is located on the north end, just 5 mintues fromt the airport. Dive shop on property will take you to the reefs. No good shore diving in front of hotel so you will need to boat dive. Two pools, one is quiet and one is active and has a swim up bar. This hotel is under constant maintence to keep it fresh and clean. Menu and buffet available for food choices, also pool grill for fast food. I love staying here!

I took a group to Fantasy Island 10 years ago and was unhappy with it. Since then, I've taken groups to different resorts in Roatan 5 other times. When Maduro Dive Fanta-Seas found me a special low price, I decided to return to Fantasy Island without a group, but with my daughter, and give it another try. I was very pleased with the improvements they have made. They make a great effort to keep the insects down, particularly the no-see-ums, which are bad overall on the island. They continuously spray, rake and drag a plow over the sand to disturb the eggs. I quit using repellant after 3 days and had only 4 insect bites the whole week. An optional shark dive offered through another outfit, but coordinated with F.I., was a huge success. There were a good 2 dozen grey reef sharks within touching distance, making for great photo ops. Good food was served buffet-style. Clean, motel-style rooms with air conditioning and TV made for a comfortable stay. Would I return?....You bet!

Hotel Cozumel and Dive Paradise were gracious hosts. The divemasters, Jose & Martin from Renagado were the best! we did 21 dives during the week, including 2 cenote dives on the mainland, and three night dives right off the dock. Turtles, nurse sharks, splendid toadfish, and morays were in abundance. We highly recommend this dive vacation. P.S.- get the all-inclusive at Hotel Cozumel.

We had a wonderful time on vacation in Anthony’s Key Resort. The room was perfect- quaint, private and not the ordinary hotel room. My only issue in it was the lack of light to read by at night- otherwise just fine. The staff at the resort were the friendliest bunch I have ever met. Every one was happy, helpful and so pleasant. I fell in love with the place instantly. And the food was delicious!! The dive boat operations were professional and well run. We loved the fact that we were on the same boat each dive with the same dive master, captain, and guests. By the end of the week we were all well acquainted and like one big happy family. I have never had that experience on a vacation before. The dives were all great. Beautiful corals and sponges, lot of sea turtles and eels. Surprisingly though, not that many fish. We were even greeted by a curious pod of bottlenose dolphins (yes wild, not the captive ones at the resort) on one of our dives. That made everyone’s week!

Anthony Keys Resort was the best all inclusive resort I’ve been at. The service at the hotel was excellent. My room was the standard room which was fine in December but in the summer I’d highly recommend a room with air conditioning. The horse back riding, fire dancing, boat charters and diving was fantastic. Underwater we saw tons of coral, sponges, turtles, a seven inch yellow seahorse and wild dolphins during one dive. Water temps in low 80s with over 100 ft visibility. Great diving with multiple shallow and deep reefs, swim throughs, and two wrecks.

We just got back from our trip to the Scuba Club. We had a great time. The arrangements were super. We are interested in going again. We loved the price, the scuba arrangement and the food. Thanks, S. Schade

I enjoyed the diving at CoCo View; the accommodations, not so much. Our room, No. 14, looked out over the water but from a porch that was accessible to passers-by from both sides. We therefore had to keep the doors closed and shades drawn for privacy purposes. The bathroom arrangement consisted of a shower stall to the left, a small toilet room (with a door) to the right, and a single-basin sink between them completely open to the rest of the room. When we went from the toilet to the shower, vice versa, or actually used the sink, we had no privacy whatsoever in front of the sink area. Furthermore, there were no hooks or pegs on which to hang clothing or anything else near the sink, shower or toilet. This pretty much guaranteed a detour to fetch these items from the room itself any time one of us used the shower, sink or toilet. When we first arrived, there wasn't even a chest of drawers in the room but they found one when we complained. When we asked for another room, though, they said they didn't have one. The lighting over the sink and in the toilet room were bare bulbs, which only added to dismal, dormitory-like atmosphere. The only reason we would return at all would be the diving, which was excellent. Equipment was handled for us by the crew. The dive guides were great, showing us spotted drum, cleaner shrimp, moray eels, sea horses, toadfish, squid, an eagle ray and crabs by day; and, octopi, crabs, and lobster by night. My dive buddy and I were the only divers on their Thursday, January 1, 2009, morning dive trip. Some operations would have cancelled the trip. They took us cheerfully.

I have to say the accommodations were not up to my standard and the service at Captain Don's (in restaurant) left a lot to be desired. I would never want to stay in that particular bungalow again. Our bedroom was two beds pushed together to make a king sized bed with a crack down the middle with a crummy uncomfortable mattress. No microwave. A stove that you needed to use matches to light and an oven that wasn't working. Pots that were rusted on inside surface and made cooking impossible. Furniture not even comfortable for 3 people to lounge around and watch a movie. Every morning at breakfast we felt like we had to beg someone to eventually getting around to bringing us coffee. Had lunch one day and it took close to an hour to get some burgers. The restaurant is poorly managed. The dive instructors and the entire dive experience is first class and works beautifully. And of course some of the best diving we do and we have been many places including the GBR.

our trip was enhanced by the very professional boat crew: Neil and Sharon. all of the instructors were great, very friendly, helpful, safety conscious, and determined to make our dive trip an excellent experience for everyone. The dive sight briefings were top notch and very thorough from description of the site to the best way to dive it. The area itself is one of my favorites because of the 2 reef systems that come together at Mixing Bowl. some of the best u/w topography anywhere. The accomodations were new and most confortable. Hopefully they have corrected the water smell by now, as that was awful! Sausan always is very helpful, reassuring, courteous, and prompt in her replies about the trip. She is very knowledgeable about the destinations and travel routes and we appreciate her expertise! Thank you.

Yes, we're back....but I wish we weren't! I could have stayed for another week. We had a great time. CoCoView is a beautiful resort and staff couldn't be nicer. The weather didn't want to cooperate at first, but by Tuesday, everything was sunny and warm. Even Taca airlines wasn't as bas as I feared. The flights were on time, and our luggage arrived without any problems....something that I
