“Sen-sational. If you want to dive, come here...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We were relatively new to the diving game, but after a week at Reef House, we felt like veterans. The atmosphere is spectacular. It is quiet and low key. A perfect place to relax, and just enjoy the ocean, and peace and quiet. If you want to get away and just dive, then this is your place. If you want to be able to get out and about and see the sights, this is not your place. It is isolated, which for us was perfect. They picked us up from the airport and dropped us off, which is awesome. In terms of diving. The Dive Master, Davit, and his sidekick, Choco, are legends. They're entertaining, but most of all, Davit's local knowledge is unbelievable, and he'll find all the cool wildlife and coral etc. His ability to spot cool stuff was incredible. 2 dives in the morning, and one in the afternoon was perfect. We also snorkeled right off the front of Reef House, which was also spectacular. There is wildlife everywhere. We rented our scuba equipment, which was in good condition and reliable. The resort itself is simple (in a good way), clean and refreshing. We stayed in one of the Studio rooms which was great. Very clean, comfortable and with air conditioning. The 3 meals are day were tasty and filling. You will not go hungry here, guaranteed. Mike, the owner, is involved in every part of the operation, and was super friendly and helpful. Be sure to walk down the "road" to catch the dog riding monkey and the Shetland pony. I would go back here in a heart beat.

“"Had such a great time and the staff was fabulous"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011

It was just what the doctor ordered. The owner Mike was great about making sure our group was well taken care of especially those of us who required special diets. The ladies in the kitchen did a wonderful job cooking delicious homemade meals and snacks. I loved looking for all the sea life in the tide pool right off the pier such as eels, octopus and a wide variety of fish. The dives were amazing as well as the dive staff. Hope to return soon.....

“A True Dive Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed here just after the tropical storm / Cat 1 hurricane passed. The Reef House is designed and geared for divers..... U can dive the same day you arrive....3400 psi fills... easy going dive masters.... Bottom time >60 mins....open bar.....great meals... Mike is passionate @ U being happy. To be honest, I was exhausted after 7 days and needed another vacation :) Couple items : beds a bit firm, the ceiling fan rattled a bit, no flushing the toilet paper, canned corn and the dive boat reminded me of the African River Queen !! I thought the dives around Old Port Royal were awesome !

“We all had a wonderful time, and we'll be back”

We really had a good time at the Reef House Resort. The owners and staff were so accommodating to the needs of our group. We had vegetarians, people that needed gluten free food etc. and they made sure that everyone got what they needed. The food was incredibly tasty and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and they all made sure we were all happy and taken care of. The dive staff was also wonderful and very friendly. If you're looking for all the frills of a large resort this wouldn't be the place for you, but we all like the smaller, more personable atmosphere of the small resorts. We all like the "down to basics" family feeling and the Reef House was everything we were looking for. Even when you're not in the water diving you can see all the critters in the tide pool or off the pier. We would look for things in the morning while drinking our coffee, and at night with flashlights. We saw moray eels, octopus, crabs and many other creatures right from the pier. That was especially fun for the non divers of the group. We had a large group and all like to be on the same dive boat and they had no problem with that. All of the dives were amazing. We'll certainly be going back!!!

“Fantastic Dive Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011

people found this review helpful

I just spent two weeks at the Reef House Resort in Roatan, Honduras and I have to say that I can't wait to go back. I wish I didn't have to leave.

My primary purpose in staying two weeks was to build material for an underwater photography portfolio and I have to say I was not disappointed at all.

The Reef House Resort was a great place to stay. The accomodations were very comfortable, the food was excellent and the service was top-notch.

Mike (the owner) was very hands-on in every aspect of the resort and went out of his way to make sure everyone had anything/everything they needed. The resort is located away from the West End so there is no "night life" to speak of. For a relaxing "DIVE" vacation, this is exactly the type of place one should look for.

The resort was great. The entire staff was great. ALL of the other guests were fantastic. And last but not least,.. the diving was absolutely incredible.

I really can't say enough good things about my stay at the Reef House Resort. The best way to sum it up is this: 40 dives over 12 days of diving and a little over 5,000 pictures taken.

Some of the images of just what you'll see on nearly every dive with the Reef House Resort can be seen here:

Thanks again Mike for a perfect dive vacation.
