Half Moon Bay Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Punta Raton tropical beaches at the south west of Honduras in the Pacific Coast not as known as Roatan Islands but more remote and with less tourism just an amazing country
We came in mahogany bay, and no cruise ships were at coxen hole, so half moon bay was empty and beautiful! The water was so warm. It was perfect!
From San Pedro Sula we hopped a short flight down to the island of Roatan.  Our original intention was to stay a few days and then head back to the mainland to see some of the other sites Honduras has to offer.

We got to West End and only left to catch our flight back to the States.  It was so low key, the water and sand amazing and our room with a porch and hammock with an ocean view was very affordable!

The scuba diving here was really good and cheap.  If you can't be bothered with that, at least bring your snorkel kit; it's nearly as good as the diving.

East of the main road in West Bay Roatan, lives a treasure trove of beach bars and restaurants for every flavor.  The Argentinian Grill has a great Happy Hour (Hora Feliz) with amazing food and a beachy open air atmosphere which is perfect for people watching or taking in the spectacular West End Sunsets.  

Please note than in October (low/rainy season) many locals go on Holiday and some businesses close for the month(s).   

Salute and Happy Journeys!

The hotel was clean and convenient. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The amenities included was great especially the kayaking and Wi-Fi service. The only thing I wished they had was a television in my hotel room. But all in all we had a great time at this hotel.

7/10 Good! (34 reviews)
The location is pretty good. The AC works well and the bed was comfortable enough. It is bare bones basic with shoddy construction in some areas. The tiles in the shower, for instance, wiggle when you stand on them and the grout is loose.
