Few minutes walk from West Bay Beach and well worth it. Food was a liitle slow but had a great lunch. Nice people. Nice Place. Thanks

We've passed Las Rocas many times but never seemed to make it there for their Happy Hour. A 2 for 1 deal is always nice --- and watching the sunset would be an added bonus. Bar service, however, sank faster than the sun on this beautiful January day. Since we (6) were the only bar customers, the wait and confusion was curious even by 'island' standards. Beverages arrived just in time to see the sun sink into the Carribbean - and witness the 'green flash'.

Las Rocas is a resort and dive shop with a prominent little restaurant on the boardwalk at the east end of West Bay on Roatan. It is very casual and open air with seating also available right on the water. My wife and I love lobster so we had to try the lobster burritos and a Port Royale to wash them down. Delicious.

My fiance and I visited this past September and had a fantastic time. We are both experienced travellers and have stayed in everything from five star hotels in Singapore to Australian Hostels and between the two of us have been to over 30 different countries.

Everyone at Las Rocas was very nice and helpful - The bartender, the front desk girl and Angela, the dive instructor were great. We went there after a brief discussion of where we would like my fiance's first warm water dives to take place and we were both very happy with how things turned out.

The food was very good and the bartender had a great pour. The owner of the dive store was very accommodating. We took a great tour of the island with Alex (aka Big Daddy) whom I met when I had to go into town to the pharmacy to get some things. The following day he drove us up to the North Side of the island to go to the Hole In The Wall Bar and take a water taxi through the mangroves. This was all an additional fee to the $50 Big Daddy charged but it was well worth it.

The restaurant is good but a little limited. There is no real choice for breakfast. It's assorted fruits and muffins and one choice for hot food- whatever they are making that day. The sandwiches are good and the lobster burrito was excellant. The dinner specials were all very good too.

The hotel is no frills and there are limited amenities. Keep in mind it is an older place with third world issues. So the water smells a little like sulfur when it's first turned on and the pressure isn't great. If you're expecting the Ritz Carlton don't stay in West End or Bay, but if you want to have a good time and don't sweat the small stuff you'll like it.

Totally unrelated to the hotel... bring as strong a insect repellant as you can find. The sand fleas are brutal all over the island. The bartender recommended putting on baby oil at night to repel the mosquitos. We didn't get bit too bad and saw others a lot worse off than us so I think the baby oil trick probably worked.
