Surreal is the only word I can think of to describe the feeling of peacefulness and utmost relaxation that occurs upon stepping on the property of Upachaya. Surrounded by lush vegetation and the hypnotizing calls of a variety of wildlife including parrots, one is mesmerized by the natural beauty of this magical place. We have experienced several aspects of Upachaya,... More

This was one of our favorite excursions ever. We were able to kayak and snorkel with a very small group of people, and the guides were wonderful. We went kayaking along the mangroves, and saw all kinds of fish and coral reefs. Upachaya is a very beautful place; the food was great and the owners were very informative. We learned... More

We booked a snorkel trip with Upachaya and it was GREAT! We followed the directions provided on how to meet with the driver, Mahogany Bay makes it difficult to exit the compound- but the instructions were clear and it's totally worthwhile to do so. Anyway, we were picked up and taken to the Upachaya property. We really enjoyed getting to... More

We were so glad that we booked the snorkelling trip at Upachaya. We followed the directions sent to us and soon found Marco who was waiting to take us to Upachaya. It's a lovely property (made me think of the Swiss Family Robinson). After a short walk to the quay, we were off on our trip. Al, our captain and... More

Just returned from Roatan & a wonderful 10 days at Upachaya. Very impressive hospitality and beautiful property. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, their location allows for a nice & constant breeze which is a must for the hot Roatan weather. Favorite part: the on-site private dock for relaxing but even more for heading out for the snorkel tour that... More

Getting to Upachaya is a pain, but it's worth it! Carnival makes it almost impossible to get out of their "Disney" Mahogany Bay, but once you escape and get to Upachaya, the snorkeling is great! We had 6 people in our group with a guide and a helper. They took the time to work with us individually as some of... More

Terrific snorkeling. Arrived with 3 teenagers from cruise port. Pleasant local took us by van a short drive to family home, where we met Captain Al and JJ. Short boat ride to reef and we were in the water. Colorful fish, octupus, lobster, rays and even a 4 foot shark!! The crew couldn't have been more helpful or knowledgeable. Returned... More

We recently booked a snorkeling tour at Upachaya on our cruise. It was, by far, the best experience I had on the cruise. They have a beautiful and peaceful facility away from the touristy areas. This was my first time snorkeling and Al, our guide, took the time to teach me and made me feel very safe. Unlike other ports... More

Roatan is a beautiful island with amazing scuba diving and scenery. I stayed at Upachaya to avoid the hassles of the more touristy areas. For one, the seclusion of this resort was ideal to escape my hectic life back home. On the other hand, I found the commute a bit tiring having to catch a cab, bus or a ride... More
