Where Are You Spending New Year's Eve?
Roatan, Honduras
December 29th, 2018-January 5, 2019
|
Start the New Year off right! Celebrate it in Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. It’s an island rich in history, where British pirates sailed, Spanish conquistadors invaded and Paya, Mayan, Inca and Caribe Indians lived.
It doesn’t take much imagination to picture Spanish cargo vessels sailing past Roatan loaded with gold from the New World on their way home. European pirates like Henry Morgan, Coxen, Morris and Van Horn used Roatan as a base for raiding these ships. We doubt you’ll find any sunken treasures on this trip but you will come back with treasured memories. |
Sub-Aquatic Sports is returning to a longtime favorite resort, CoCoView; we describe it as ’rustically charming.’ This place is a far cry from the franchise properties like Sandals or Beaches. There are no mega pools, no mega restaurant choices and no mega crowds. Instead, you’ll find a warm, family-run resort with good food, comfortable accommodations and the best diving on the island.
Situated on Roatan’s south shore, Coco View Resort is perched on the edge of the world’s second largest coral reef. The diving is spectacular and convenient with a wall and shipwreck right off your hotel door. Take a short boat ride and you’ll dive on a variety of beautiful dive sites. Coco View Resort is famous for their 24/7 dive and snorkel opportunities! Shore diving is available whenever you desire! Grab a tank & go!
Choose your accommodations. There are spacious oceanfront rooms and exotic over-the-water bungalows and cabanas; all are air conditioned. The most affordable are the 12 oceanfront rooms. These are conveniently located by the Clubhouse and the dive docks. Twelve Cabanas are partially built over the water. Each room has French doors that enter to your private balcony. What a perfect place to watch the sunsets. The Bungalows are considered to be the most private and romantic.
There are only four units and all are built completely over the water . These also have private patios for enjoying some quality quiet time.
The social center of the resort is the Clubhouse. Here you’ll find the inside dining room, bar and outside dining decks. Breakfast includes made-to-order eggs or omelets and traditional breakfast favorites like bacon, pancakes, and waffles. Lunch is ready for you at noon with a variety of tasty entrée, sandwich fixings, soups, salads, and fruit selections change daily. Traditional Honduran fare of red beans and rice are always offered and a favorite. Dinner is served buffet style, dinner is plentiful and hardy, consisting of a fresh salad bar, a selection of at least two delicious entrees, vegetables, and, of course, dessert again.
The Clubhouse is also the place to hang at after diving. Enjoy a drink and conversation with fellow divers. New Year’s Eve celebration is here, the perfect place to bring in 2019! If you’re looking for high energy dancing and crowds, you’ll be disappointed. This will be a quieter affair, toasting the New Year under the stars, listening to some Calypso music and challenging a fellow diver to a game of pool or ping pong.
Free seminar on island history and a free buoyancy clinic are offered at the Clubhouse during the week. Some nights you will also be entertained by local musicians and dancers. Weather permitting, there is a BBQ on a private cay.
If you wish to explore the rest of Roatan, we recommend the Zip lining, the Botanical Garden, Dolphin Encounter, Eco Tours by Tim, Deep Sea or Flats Fishing, Horseback Riding on the beach or check out the Iguana Hideaway. This week will be as full or as relaxing as you wish it to be.
