My family and I had the single greatest vacation of our lives this past Christmas. 10 days of Diving, Snorkeling, exploring the island, and relaxing. Chris and Monica are the perfect hosts, and Tranquilseas has become a home away from home.

If you need to be pampered morning, noon, and night look elsewhere. If you seek a beautiful, relaxed setting and are willing to join a community of friendly vacationers looking to escape the hubbub of the "real" world look no further.

I cannot wait for our next escape to Tranquilseas!

We met Chris in January 2012 on a family dive trip to Roatan. We had a large group of people and were having trouble getting everyone accomodated for diving. Once our concierge introduced us to Chris we had no more worries. Chris came immediately to our rented house, sat down with us and we made a plan. The word "can't" was not in his vocabulary. He arranged to pick us up by boat from our dock. The next morning we were greeted by him and his professional and knowledgeable dive team. Their passion and commitment to the environment was clear as they educated us on the reef and the island and their desire to preserve it. Over the next several days Chris and his team took us on some of the best dives we have ever experienced. Kent and Di were amazing at pointing out every interesting plant and animal under the sea. One day, Chris recommended that he bring two boats, take divers on one, snorklers on the other then rondevoux for a family gathering complete with drinks and snacks. There was something for everyone and we were all together including 2 small children. Chris thought of everything. We enjoyed getting to know Chris so much that we had to go and visit his Eco Lodge. We made a special trip there to enjoy some great cocktails and wonderful music in the lounge. Chris personally drove us home that night so we didn't have to take a cab. I left something behind in the bar, Chris found it and promptly mailed it to me in the states. The attention to detail of Chris and his staff was such a treat. Our plan when we return to Roatan someday is to stay with Tranquilseas and get the full benefit of the over the top personal service they offer. Great job to you and your team, Chris. Thank you from our entire family.

This is a place you'd be reluctant to review because you don't want to share it with anyone else! However, your experience there compels you to write about how fantastic the place is. Chris and Monica (owners) are the best -they are attentive and informative hosts that make Tranquilseas one of the best experiences you'll ever have. Chris is a fastidious owner who is constantly making updates to his property to make it a place that leaves nothing to complain about. Worried about cleanliness, A/C working, hot water, etc.? -forget about it at this place. He has a small force of staff (all so pleasant) that keeps every nail, screw and bolt in place! Our room was immaculate. The food great (Monica's Paella was awesome) ...and don't forget the Lionfish ceviche!

Want to get some souvenirs off the reef or toss trash on the beach? -don't come here. Chris runs a truly ecology minded operation and is a man who sticks to his principals in preserving Roatan's natural beauty. He's put his heart and soul into this place and it shows!!

As for the diving -again more attention to detail with the latest, well-maintained equipment you’d want. Our dive master Kent was great!! We had a boat and Kent all to ourselves most days, taking us on the coolest dives -the most laid back AND safety conscious dive master you'll find!!

And the location -it's perfect! It’s secluded but has easy access to all attractions on the west side of the island. I found it interesting that the other side of the island (facing the mainland) gets significantly more wind than here, which has a major impact on diving. So scenic and peaceful!
Hated to leave, can't wait to come back!!
Thanks Chris and Monica!!

I read the reviews on Tranquilseas and selected this resort based on the glowing customer comments. As a result, I had rather high expectations.

After 16 dives and 8 nights at this fine resort, I can confidently state that my expectations were far exceeded by Chris and the rest of the Tranquilseas staff. Wow!

I have travelled far and wide on multiple continents and have been diving for 25 years, and I will say for the record that this is a very intimate experience that you are unlikely to find anywhere else. So, for folks that do not prefer the "cattle herd" mentality of certain resorts and dive operations, this is it! For those in search of a truly green, eco experience, this is your place! I plan to return.
