Husband Bobby (diver) and I (non-diver) both thoroughly enjoyed our August 2024 Roatan vacation, hosted by David Guernsey @ Mayan Princess Beach Resort. On-site dive crew was terrific, prompt boat escort to interesting collection of dive sites a few X every day. David, Dive Master & all around nice person was an expert in troubleshooting equipment, too. His expertise in all things people & gear was gr8ly appreciated. I enjoyed my time at the beautiful resort (not affected on cruise port days) & rented a local's car to explore the island on my own (safe!)....tropical botanical forest tour, hiking, beach walks, snorkeling in Sandy Bay & even played some pickleball! 3rd time to Roatan in the last 30yrs, so we noticed tourism has definitely amped up w/ the cruiseships & mainstream travelers. Main roads are paved now, clean water available everywhere, most speak English, air-conditioning, back up generators during storms, modern pool, clean gorgeous sandy beach (not overrun w/ Sargassum like Belize) on West End Bay. Tourist accessibility, however, has taken a toll on the reefs. Like all beautiful places on this planet, I hope efforts to preserve & protect become precedent. We <3 ROA

Well planned and executed trip by SA Scuba Shack. Beautiful accommodations and fantastic dive crew. As a group, we all had a great time together.

Resort and resort staff were very nice. The beach club was disturbingly loud on Saturday night till midnight. The food was poor to mediocre. Dive operation was ok. We had an experienced group but they did not offer a checkout dive and the dive master was new and mostly only took us on very basic dives.
