Las Rocas Resort And Dive Center - West Bay

Intimate beachfront dive resort on West Bay Beach, Roatan

PADI-Certified Dive Center with Small Groups

Las Rocas Resort And Dive Center operates a full-service PADI dive center that limits groups to a maximum of nine divers per boat. Guests can explore the Mesoamerican Reef, the largest barrier reef system in the Caribbean, with personalized instruction from certified dive masters. The dive shop also rents snorkel gear and organizes guided snorkeling trips to nearby sites like Blue Channel.

Recently Renovated Bungalows with Private Hammocks

The property offers 17 recently renovated bungalows, each with a private veranda and a hammock overlooking either the tropical gardens or the sea. Rooms include air conditioning, a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletries, and daily housekeeping. Each bungalow also has a mini-fridge stocked with drinks and snacks, though guests who remove items to store personal food pay a $15 daily usage fee.

Trattoria da Piero - Caribbean-Italian Cuisine

The on-site restaurant, Trattoria da Piero, serves a complimentary breakfast buffet each morning featuring a rotating hot dish, fresh fruit, yogurt, and pastries. Lunch and dinner menus offer Caribbean specialties with an Italian twist - dishes such as grouper livornese and lobster tails prepared four different ways. A daily happy hour from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. offers two-for-one cocktails and $2 local beers at the open-air bar with sunset views.

Private Beach Access and West Bay Proximity

Las Rocas Dive Resort is situated directly on West Bay Beach, Roatan's most famous crescent-shaped beach, and has a small private beach area with sun loungers and a plunge pool. The resort is a 90-second walk from the main beach strip, where guests find shops, restaurants, and water taxi service to West End. Free shuttle transfers from Roatan Airport (30 minutes away) are included, and a water taxi stop sits on the resort's own dock.

On-Site Wellness and Relaxation Options

The resort offers a range of massage services including back, foot, full body, and couples massage. An outdoor swimming pool - filled with ocean water at times or fresh water with chlorine - complements the beach access. Guests can also borrow board games and puzzles from the shared lounge/TV area, or arrange tours about local culture, horse riding, and river rafting through the front desk.
