We absolutely loved Turtle Beach Dive!! It's was perfect for our family vacation. The location is everything, it was right in the middle of West Bay and West End. We were easily able to walk to both areas. The water taxi's and tours pick you up right from the dock, makes it so nice and stress free!! It was so nice and peaceful, and not crowded at all. The owners and everyone that works there were super friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for a better place to stay!! We will 100% recommend!!

Our week at Turtle Beach Dive Resort was one of our favorite family vacations. The resort is located between West Bay & West End and has its own private beach and dock. Our villa was perfect for our group of five and it was an absolute delight to have the macaw family to feed on our upper deck in the mornings! Upon booking, I got an email confirming my reservation and information from Paul's (the owner) staff assuring me there would be a driver to pick us up from the airport to take us to the grocery store and then on to the resort. This was fantastic! We picked up provisions for the week and were met by Paul in person when we arrived. He gave us a tour of the resort and was full of information and ideas for us. We spent the week on the beach, snorkelling right from the shore at Turtle Beach (what a treat), shopping and snorkelling in West End, and laying on the beach and snorkelling West Bay. Roatan is truly a little-known paradise and the best snorkelling we've ever experienced!

Our family had a wonderful time at the resort! We loved feeding the macaws, walking the beach, meditating in peace, and listening to all the birds. We really appreciate the kindness offered to us by Paul and his staff. They went above and beyond! The house was perfect for 6 adults. We recommend this fabulous resort if you want to be where you can access the town and the beautiful beaches while enjoying nature and its beauty every day! This was a Christmas to remember!

We had a wonderful stay in the Whale house at Turtle Beach for our first visit to Roatan. The entire property is immaculate! Paul is a fantastic host - always asking guests if they need anything or stopping for a chat during his busy days. His resort is so beautifully decorated and well-kept. Everyone in our party commented on discovering the small touches in every corner of the property. Turtle Beach location is perfect, on a quiet section of beach, yet within walking distance of bars/restaurants/West Bay. And so easy to catch a water taxi from the dock. We felt so safe - day and night - walking the beach and taking water taxis after dark with our group without hesitation. 100% recommend staying here with family or friends for a weekend or for a season - it's absolutely perfect.

The Bird House/Whale house was everything we hoped for our stay in Roatan! The house was so clean and the Macaws were a fun bonus. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. We dove with Clearwater Dive Shop just next door and the experience was unmatched!

This place is absolutely beautiful! We didn’t want to leave! Paul was super helpful and we loved all of his recommendations. They did not disappoint. He was so responsive when we had questions. Maria and all the staff go above and beyond taking care of the property and villas. The Whale house was the perfect villa for us because we loved feeding the macaws every morning and evening. It truly is a magical place and we hope to be back!
