I'm back to plan another dive vacation! And since I always get the best advice here on SB I'm hoping you guys will help me out yet again!
A little background: We're relatively new divers. Certified in 10/03 and have logged about 16 dives. We want to take a relaxing vacation where we just have to eat/sleep/dive and increase our experience, and kick back. So after surfing the boards Roatan seems like the perfect place!
Here's where we're considering staying:
CocoView Resort
Anthony's Key Resort
Inn of Last Resort
Now I know from reading these boards that the preponderance of you are CocoNuts, so if you're voting for Coco, please tell me why it's better than the others.
Do we fly directly into Roatan? Who is the best carrier with the cheapest flights?
We're thinking of going this spring or summer, before I start grad school, or during winter break. When is the best time to go?
We have the basics: masks, snorkel, fins, 3mm shorties, and computers, we'll need to rent the rest. Is a 3mm shorty warm enough to dive during the times of year mentioned above?
We've never really liked all inclusive, but these places are all inclusives, is this the best way to go in Roatan, or would we be missing out on seeing the local town and eating in the local restaurants and stuff?
Besides diving, are there any 'must do/see while in Roatan' activities that we should consider? Or is it truly an eat/sleep/dive vacation?
Thanks in advance for your help!
