I had the pleasure of staying here while on a group dive vacation in mid-March. I am an extremely picky traveler. I do not like "roughing it" much. My poor husband was afraid that I would freak out at the rustic conditions. But I had the most wonderful time at here. The resort is very remote and for me that... More

Great diving in a protected area. Unfortunately, Turtle Bay is the only resort in the keys so you have to march to their tune. Beware their tricky little line items on the bill like 'Service Charge' and 'Suggested Gratuities'. They drive up your bill substantially and they don't tell you that they're completely voluntary. Staff was competent but not the... More

This was my second trip and the diving was again all my dreams come true! The health of the coral reefs, and all the fish are outstanding! To top it off all new rental dive equipment was a dream, and Mike has made so many improvements for safety and comfort.I have to say the food was even better this year.... More

Great diving, good people, good food, very good time. We are planning on returning next year. All our ground transportation was on time and very reliable, our room in La Ceiba for the night was very good. We thank you for that again Mike, the diving was incredible, we are still talking about it. I enjoyed the food, I don't... More

This was a cheap hassle free adventure for me. I felt completely safe and taken care of from the moment I got of the plane... All of my emails were responded to in a timely fashion with good solid information... As for the resort the staff was First class all the way... its a no shirt no shoes no problem... More

Imagine what Utila and Roatan looked like 30 years ago. The islands were probably sparsely populated, few hotels, more lush surroundings, less superfluous noise, smaller, more personalized dive groups, classic Honduran food and less tourists. That is where Cayos Cochinos is at now. From the home cooked, traditional family style food to waking up to the sound of waves lapping... More

The location is wonderful but the experience was poor. We went with a group of 12 (11 divers, many well-seasoned instructors). I have been to many remote locations to dive around the world. I have lead dive groups to many places and overcome many surprises doing so. I would rate this as a pretty bad trip. The weather didn’t help... More

There is no doubt that the main attraction of Turtle Bay Eco Resort is the scuba diving and snorkeling. That said, one could take a good book and a couple of games and have a fantastic time just drinking in the wonderful setting. Though this is an "all inclusive" resort it certainly defies the image. One does get 3 meals... More

Turquoise warm water? Check. Pristine diving and snorkeling with abundant sea-life? Check. Coconuts and hammocks? Check. Exclusive seclusion and relaxation? Check. For me this is the perfect island paradise equation. Cayos Cochinos the small island group and marine reserve off of Honduras fulfills all these criteria perfectly. Turtle Bay Eco Resort is in a transition phase. You can stay in... More

There's lots to say about our recent stay for a little over a week, but I'll try to keep it brief. We stayed with Turtle Bay because we wanted to dive someplace away from the crowds. We wanted someplace where they don't load twelve brand new open water divers onto a boat and watch them kick coral for 40 minutes.... More
