Hey everybody! As I posted in general travel awhile back, im attempting to plan out a dive-related honeymoon! I think, after discussing things with my SO, we are leaning in favor of Roatan, but had some questions that I thought we might be able to ask of your combined experience.
1. I know this seems silly, but how was the diving? I've heard some slightly mixed reports, and its hard to listen too seriously to the resorts that clearly have a vested interest in getting people there. Also, we love big animals (sharks, rays, etc) but heard it was rather light on those (we love macro stuff too, but want at least some heavy big-stuff dives).
2. Where did you stay, and would you recommend it? Was it luxurious enough to count as honeymoon-esque, and did it have some element of shore diving? We've kinda crossed off Cocoview for a honeymoon spot, as she wants it to be a nice, luxurious resort.
3. Did you fly straight to the island, or to Honduras and take a smaller plane or ferry to the island itself? Which would you recommend doing, and which did you find to be cheaper?
4. Did you rent a vehicle, and should we consider it necessary?
5. Did you find the island fun while topside? We love cultural and adventurous things, and its always fun to hang out in some sort of town area.
6. When would you recommend going? Is diving good year-round, or better at some times than others?
I know that's a lot of questions, but I can't thank you guys enough for the help!
