This end of the island is unbelievably gorgeous, but Royal Playa is not the place to stay. The website wants you to think that this is a "luxury" vacation spot and that the cooling winds mean no AC is necessary, but those come-ons are not true. The cabanas are built well back from the water and 85 degrees at night... more

July 4-12, Roatan, Honduras An all-inclusive dive operation. Snorkelers would be very happy as well. A stay with Matt, Corinne, Archer, Tommy and Keith at Royal Playa Roatan as 2 of 5 guests was the finest trip I've experienced in 32 years of diving. Clean, comfortable, efficient, relaxing. "Fancy Camping," as Matt puts it, would more accurately be put "civilized... more

When I booked our trip at Royal Playa Dive Resort, I had no idea what to expect, but we were delighted with what we found! Upon arriving at the small airport, we were met by a driver who took us to BJ's, a little dockside convenience store, where we were met by Matt, the owner of Royal Playa, who took... more

We very much enjoyed our stay at Royal Playa, Roatan. Traveling for the first time to Honduras was a little worrisome, but our stay at Royal Playa was delightful! If you are looking for something rustic and authentic, but not primitive then I would highly recommend this resort for your getaway. I'm not a diver but a napper. There was... more

If you are a diver, this resort is an absolute must. We saw so much on our trip, I doubt any other dive resort will live up to it. If you are not a diver, I'm not sure if it would be for you. The staff, especially our dive captain and divemaster bent over backwards to help us out. We... more

I just got back from a week stay at Royal Playa Resort near the East end of Roatan. I couldn't have had a more enjoyable time and the diving was world class! The resort is removed from the busy West end of the island and secluded near Port Royal. Our group had the resort to ourselves for the seven day... more

My husband, brother, and I just returned from an incredible week at Royal Playa. My husband and I were there to dive and relax. My brother was there to fish, relax, and do an introductory dive. From the moment we arrived, I knew we had selected a great place. Matt , Corrine, and Brenda made us feel right at home.... more

I headed to Roatan with a group of business travellers, and we only had 2 days to get in a "once in a lifetime" experience. We researched every place there, and decided that Royal Playa Roatan fit the bill best. We really pushed the limits of what could be done, but Matt and Corinne were great about making it happen,... more

My husband and I just got back from a two-week trip to Roatan. We spent our first week at Royal Playa. We loved it. The accommodation is rustic i.e. not fancy, but clean and comfortable. We found the food fabulous. Corinne, our hostess, tried to give us a mix of island and American cuisine. The atmosphere was very casual and... more

My wife and I spent a week at Royal Playa last month, and had a little different experience than the last review, and my sense of fairness compells me to write. First of all, we are not the kind of people who expect to be totally waited on, so when we wanted juice or coffee or a drink, we went... more
