Mayan Princess Beach and Dive Resort is a beachfront, all-inclusive property at West Bay Beach, with 60 individually decorated rooms plus villa and suite types. The all-inclusive rate covers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets, à la carte meals, snacks and beverages, and the listing says all on-site activities and equipment are included, including kayaking, snorkeling, fishing and scuba diving. Four restaurants, two poolside bars and three beach bars are listed, along with two outdoor pools, a children's pool, a hot tub, a spa and a convenience store. Beach cabanas are free, and West Bay Beach is an 8-minute walk. Guests rate it around 8.8 from more than 500 reviews.
Location and getting around: the resort is at West Bay, about a 28-minute drive from Roatán International Airport, and a free 24-hour airport shuttle runs at scheduled times. Free self-parking is available. From here you can walk to West Bay Beach, and tours to the reef, the gardens and the cruise ports can be arranged through the front desk.
The rooms and the feel: with 60 rooms, it is smaller and more intimate than the big beachfront resorts, and the all-inclusive format means you can dive, snorkel, eat and drink without keeping track of a bill. It is especially attractive to certified divers and snorkelers, who can get in the water straight from the resort.
Good to know: the minimum check-in age is 18, check-in runs from 3 pm to 10 pm, and check-out is before 11 am. A deposit of US$100 per stay is listed. Children are welcome and babysitting is available for a surcharge, but pets and service animals are not allowed. Spa treatments require reservations, and the listing does not say whether they are included. Because dive and snorkel inclusions can have conditions, ask what your rate covers before you arrive. Parking is limited, so confirm if you plan to hire a car.
