We spent Jan. 16th, 2013 in Roatan with Victor Bodden Tours, who I would highly recommend! We toured the Island, visited the Iguana Farm and Monkey Farm and then asked to go to a nice beach that wouldn't be overly crowded. Rick, our driver, was awesome and so helpful to one lady in our party who has M.S. and had recently had knee replacement surgery. He would help her in and out of the van and was so great!! (I would hear him say to her "Come on Mama" - so cute!) He suggested the Mayan Princess and for $10 each we could use the beach and facilities. We chose a lovely cabana and ordered a bucket of beer for $12 - very reasonable. We also had some great Pina Coladas. The beach was awesome!!! Gorgeous, fine, white sand and not crowded at all. We felt that we had found a little piece of heaven. There is also a gorgeous pool and, although we didn't see inside any of the rooms - the buildings looked beautiful and well kept. We were on a cruise the day we were there but are considering taking a vacation and spending some time staying at the Mayan Princess which is an all-inclusive.

My Husband Russell and I were privilaged and honored to be invited to our neice Heathers wedding in Roatan. We had never heard of Roatan so had no idea what to expect. Well I must say we were pleasantly surprised by the lush beauty of this tropical island paradise! The Mayan Princess is a small intimate resort with beautiful1 and 2 bedroom villa's. We paid a very good price for an all inclusive 1 week holiday. As always you worry that the food may not be up to snuff at the all inclusive resorts but the food was delicious and with different buffet choices everyday. The A-la-cart dinners fantastic and the drink selection excellant. Our villa as were most at the resort was poolside. The pool very beautiful with waterfalls, bridge's etc. The beach close to all villa's, and always a beach lounger available. The Staff was exceptional, courteous, friendly and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The rooms always clean with fresh flowers daily cut from the lovely gardens that surrounded the resort. Excursions were plentiful, diving, snorkeling (amazing), zip lining, catamaran trips which included bar service and snacks, kayaking parasailing,dolphin adventures, you name it they had it. The wedding itself was one of the most romantic that I have ever been to. Thank you Mayan princess for a memorable time.

My husband and I stayed at the Mayan Princess last year for a week of some of the best diving I've ever experienced. We loved it so much we brought our two girls back for a week this year. Our 13 year old was certified two years ago, and they were more than able to accommodate her junior diving certification and kept the dives to within her range. I was a little concerned that there was no kids club, and that our 8 year old would get bored - but the wonderful, free-form pool, the hot-tub, as well as the beach kept her busy. She learned to snorkle and got an opportunity to see some of what we see diving.
The staff at the Mayan Princess are the best! A lot of them remembered us from last year, which really made us feel special. A hello to Tamara, Glenda, Dixon, Francis, Jonathan, Hazel, Darwin, Santos, Philip and a all the others( I'm sorry I forgot their names. ).
We had one of the few 2 bedroom condo's, which was perfect for us. The room is a little outdated, but while we were there some of the rooms were getting new beds and furniture, so hopefully by the time we get back that unit will be done as well. The food was good. If you're looking for a place with lots of restaurants and a huge buffet - Roatan is not the place for you. For us, there was enough variety to ensure our kids had choices of things they would eat, and for myself I could find things that were not shellfish (allergy).
The diving was the best part - Mayan Divers is a top-notch outfit, with the best instructures/guides. A special thank you to Janos, for the refresher for our daughter, and to our favourite guide - Sara....you are awesome!!!!! Thanks to the wonderful Captains and Crew who helped. Thank you Anja, for such a wonderful dive operation and crew.
I cannot wait till next year!!!

We stayed at mayan princess for the second time this past November. We are returning jan. 28th . It's a great place to stay we recommend it highly. Great staff, but we missed siggy!!!!!! Really couldn't find fault with anything. Great location right on west bay beach the best beach in roatan. The food is good, not a great variety but I always pick quality over quantity. The only complaint I have is if your going to charge $50 per week for wifi it should at least work half the time it was very poor. They shouldn't be charging anything for it only worked if you were near the reception and then it wasn't very good. The rooms are starting to show their age but we were told they would have new furniture by the time we returned but rooms were always very clean. Bar and food service was great!!!!! They also have the best dive shop on the beach!!!! Anja, sara, julie, and jeannot and the boat crew go out of their way to provide you with the best diving experience!!!!
