My fiance and I were on Roatan for 18 days this past Mar-April 2008 to do some diving. While we stayed the majority of the time in West End, we did a couple overnight trips around the island.
My partner is in to fly fishing, and had planned a day trip with Mango Creek Lodge located in Port Royal (east end of island). I thought this was a good excuse to book myself into a spa for a day!
We grabbed a cab from West End and negotiated a $20 ride to Sante (located near Oak Ridge, accessible by boat from the Parrot Tree Planation).
Sante has three rooms available for overnight guests, and the cost is $95 / night including breakfast. We stayed in the garden room for two nights, and all rooms have A/C, TV with cable and DVDs, fridges stocked with water, juice, coffee and tea, plenty of fresh towels, robes and complementary bug spray and sun screen.
The grounds are beautiful, and there is a small pool to cool off in, a hot tub overlooking the ocean (amazing at night), garden paths, kayaks / snorkelling off shore, and access to Parrot Tree Plantation facilities (i.e. swimming lagoon, etc.).
Angela and Leon were great hosts and made us feel very comfortable in their home. They have a whole bunch of parrots as pets, as well as a few great dogs.
We had dinner here two nights – shrimp and grilled wahoo which were quite good – about $14 per person for a three course meal.
As a bonus, my fiance fly-fished the flats around the grounds and caught the biggest bonefish of the trip about 5 minutes from Sante!
I got a spa package of a one-hour aromatherapy massage, European facial, lymphatic drainage of lower limbs, eye treatment and paraffin wax hand treatment for about $130 (my bday present to myself!). This was a great treatment and Angela is a fantastic esthician.
While I was not being 'treated', I lounged around reading, snorkelling and generally being lazy - a great vacation from our vacation!
