If you're looking for a peaceful and unpretentious getaway with fantastic diving, Reef House Resort is just the place. Set on a small cay on the less-touristed east side of Roatan Island, the Reef House feels more like a bed and breakfast than a resort, as it's very down-to-earth and owner-run. Canadian owners Larry and Carol live at the resort and join guests for three home-cooked meals a day and to relax on the breezy patio next to the ocean pool where 26 Hawksbill turtles live. Divers can do three dives a day, and guests will be well taken care of by the enthusiastic dive master and boat captain as you explore the 45 dive sites that are within 5 to 15 minutes of the resort. Nightly, weekly, diving, non-diving, diving certification and inclusive rates available. Non-divers can enjoy snorkeling, have a swim in the turtle pool and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere at the Reef House.504-435-1482 $$-$$$
