We usually stay at La Ceiba, it's a good location by the international pier so there's good people watching of the cruise shippers. It has a nice beach with 2 pools and a big whirlpool, a beach restaurant that the waiters will bring food and drinks to you while your laying out. The food has always been good and has improved very years
.
I've used Blue Bubble in the past small groups, 6-8, usually 6, fast boats and good DM's especially Raul. Dive with Martin has also been highly recommended by friends, in fact I'm going to try them in September on a dive buddies advice. both wil pick you up at the hotel.
La Ceiba has a dive shop and good shore diving, airplane flats is what is called, there is a small plane that was sunk for a movie back in the '70s, it has broken up over the years just off shore and some small coral heads scattred about, good refresher dive before heading out to the reef. You can jump off the pier for easy access.
Island Photo and Video is on the property, Holly and her husband Armando are both published photographers and videographers and have a full service shop with rentals of both film and digital equipment as well as great developing. wonderful people!!!!!
The hotel caters mostly to divers so it's quiet and doesn't have very may children, some of the cruise shippers will by a day pass to the beach but again it's almost all adults or older teens. It's very clean, most of the rooms have been renovated in the past 5 years or so, nothing real fancy but everything you need, good A/C, refrigerator, balconies for drying equip., saftey deposit box by the front desk. The staff has always been great.
the location is just 2 maybe 3 miles south of town, maybe not even that far, we've walked to and from town many times.
hope the info helps, have a great trip.
