There has been much confusion lately about what is going on with Fantasy Island in Roatan. We have heard that the owner is taking the resort back and that changes are forthcoming in October. In fact, their new "official booking agent" announced a new all-inclusive special (which I will be taking advantage of 
) for only $ 499/ppdo here on this forum.
After booking our October trip, we received an e-mail from Fantasy Island Travel Services (Nick) announcing a special for a higher rate. We were surprised and confused by that e-mail and didn't understand why the rates for one group would be higher than the other. Since then we have received yet ANOTHER e-mail from Fantasy Island Travel Service announcing the same special we've already booked through Fantasy Island's official booking agent - FANTASY DIVE TRAVEL. Confused yet
I am too...so I thought it might help to share this post I found on another SB forum:

I know there is a lot of confusion out there regarding what is happening with Fantasy Island, Fantasy Dive Travel and Fantasy Island Travel Services. As you know over the years Nick (Fantasy Island Travel Services) was the exclusive booking agent with Fantasy Island and we have enjoyed a long lasting relationship with his company. However with that being said Nick has gone on to successfully represent other properties such as Turquoise Bay, Henry Morgan etc As a travel agent Nick work and sell whatever property he would like, no different than any travel agent. This is why we have brought on Fantasy Dive Travel as our official booking agent and the company that is exclusively working with us.
As far as change all we can say is actions speak louder than words. So go look at the website, you now have online booking and availability, and you can reserve your spots on island activities and more! There is also a new newsletter called the FIN (Fantasy Island Network) and other things on the way to keep you informed with whats happening at Fantasy Island. All of this was created and maintained by Fantasy Dive Travel.
Fantasy Dive Travel has taken more of a hands on approach in our relationship. They have been on property several times in the past couple of months making suggestions and working with the staff. They are the ones that have put together the $499 special as an incentive for you to come down and experience what is happening instead of us telling you what is changing.
So can you book with Nick or can you book with Fantasy Dive Travel? Then answer is yes and yes but whatever you choose I am sure you will enjoy your stay with us at Fantasy Island Resort.
