This is my favorite resort, on Roatan. The chat on their website is an independant forum run by guests, not the resort, so should answer virtually an question you may have. Happy trails!

Welcome to CoCo View Resort

Like joystershell we enjoyed Cocoview.
It was about 18 months ago but here is my trip report. Lots of pictures.

Roatan, Honduras  June 2006

Get to the north side if at all possible(in general the water is alot calmer & better diving sites)---only a few spots worth going to on the south side & you'll dive them thru the north side resorts ie Mary's Place & the Italian's shark dive Cara a Cara ....Check with Bay Island Beach Resort(Bob, Ted, or Cam), Anthony's Key Resort or Inn of Last Resort.......It's a great place to dive...enjoy......

My wife and I have had the pleasure of visiting Honduras 3 times. We've been to CoCoView twice and Deep Blue Utila once. Both resorts are fantastic, as long as you're planning on spending most of your time diving.

Enjoy,

Greg

You need to narrow your request to the mainland - to the bay islands - or to a specific island!

With only one week I would go to Roatan

The Bay island off Honduras are one of the top dive destinations in the world.
I will be there March 22nd thru April 5th. Staying at both Utlia and Roatain.

North side calmer?? Maybe at some times of year. Better diving sites?? Maybe some. None woth going to on the south side?? Hardly.

I agree with lmorin, the south side of Roatan has very good diving.

This is just a suggestion, but your question would receive much better coverage and answers in the appropriate geographic forum - see: ScubaBoard - Regional Travel and Dive Clubs
