Has anyone been to, or had any experience with Reef House Resort on the island of Roatan? Just heard about it and was wondering what it is like in comparison to Fantasy Island or Anthony's Key

Ayisha:We had a super time at RHR. The reef was healthy and colourful, we saw more large and small critters than I thought we would see. Daveet, the DM is great at finding all kinds of critters. The food was great. Larry and Carol, the co-owners, were awesome, so much fun. Please note, however, that Larry and Carol are not usually there, they now live in Vegas. Mike, the co-owner, is normally there and is there now. I haven't met Mike, so not sure what he's like.
RHR is secluded on a little caye off Roatan. If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday (unless you're with a rowdy group of 14 like ours) where the main entertainment is diving, RHR is the place. A water taxi (like our dive boat) is required to get over (10 minutes) to Roatan, and they arrange a taxi for the day/afternoon to get to Coxen Hole, West End and/or West Bay for shopping/sightseeing. They can also arrange tours for ziplining, the spa, etc. The one stipulation is that they require that all guests return to the water taxi by 5:45 PM, so no evening forays onto Roatan are possible. They say that this is because the crossing is dangerous at night.

I have been diving Roatan since 1990. Stayed at CocoView, Fantasy Island, AKR, Reef House, Bananarama, Mayan Princess, Inn of Last Resort, Las Rocas and Reef House. AKR is on north side of island with a great diving operation and the dolphins but the steps up to the restaurant will wear you out. Fantasy Island all inclusive dive operation is good but most of the guests are nondivers since they changed their customers to day trippers. Only using one dive boat a day currently with a great DM. Good location for French Harbor and west locations. Reef House has only one dive boat with a great DM and boat captain. Davitt and Choco are 2 of the best. Davitt will show you all of the small and large sea life including sea horses. Since Reek House in on the east side you will be the only dive boat you will ever see. If you are a serious diver this is one of the best all inclusive packages on the island. I have stayed with them 4 times (two 2 weeks stays and 2 one week stays). Am going back again in October. However,nothing to do at Reef House but diving, eating and sleeping.
