HowieDean:I was there Jan 1 though Feb 8 and will be back April 30 through May 7 then All of July and couple weeks in June or Aug. I kind on like the place......
I have been going to Roatan for the past 8 years and have stayed just about everywhere in that time - I have friends that work at CoCoVie and AKR. Been hanging out at the Inn for the past 3 years - before that I kind of jumped around and checked out all the other places. Stayed at Fantasy for about 3 years in a row before landing at the Inn.
The quality of the acomidations is pretty equal between AKR,CCV, and the Inn.
Fantasy is much nicer then the other three.
Vern and Melissa left the in last fall, they had managed it for several years and were pretty instrumental in defining the personality of the place.
Andy and Donna, the owners are usually there all the time now as well as the general manager Ed and the manager Laura. They do a really good job of going above and beyond to see that you have a great stay and helping you set up anything you want to do - going to West End (2miles), hooking you up with the other Island services such as horse back riding or shark dive - canapy tour etc.
Their dive operation is second to none - small groups - great dive staff - location close to many of the best dive sites.
The Inn has 30 rooms so it's not too big - everybody on the staff will know your name and treat you like family.
I guess for me the Family thing is the most important - they'll make you feel like a guest and not a customer. That's what really set them apart for me. If you ever had a fantasy of moving to and island and living there, the Inn is the closest thing I've found to the experiance.
Don't know how much you know about Roatan?
The only one of the main line all inclusive Resorts that has a beach if Fantasy
The only one that has TRUE unlimted "convient" shore diving is CCV
AKR has the fastets boats and go to the most varied locations.
While I would HIGHLY recomnend the Inn and hope you would give it a try, all the places mentioned have their own andvantages and disadvantages so it's import to decide what you're looking for before you decide. Also don't overlook Bay Island Beach Resort - You might check them out on the internet.
If I can be of any further help please pm me or do a search on this board of posts by Howiedean - I've probably covered just about all the Inn stuff in a post some time or the other.
Where ever you decide to go, hope you have a great trip.

H2Andy:yes, there is a segment on Roatan on the new show, but unfortunately, Roatan is not listed as one of the diving destinations, and i couldn't find a single link to Roatan on the links page.
H2Andy:ok, i'm exceedingly dense then, but i don't see them
