Cruise ships pinpoint roatan a bulls-eye!

As we get deeper into "Tourist Season" here in the Bay Islands we are seeing more and more ships show up at the Coxen Hole terminal these days. Yesterday, Friday, there were 3 ships in port at once! Aside from the majestic Carnival Legend, two smaller, luxurious vessels anchored at sea and tendered in well financed passengers to enjoy the many splendors of Roatan!

For us living on West Bay Beach, it's always nice to see them come... and go. The never-ending smiles on the faces of well oiled foreigners as they gaze on the beauty of the Caribbean and the white sands of West Bay can't help but bring joy to one's heart.... and helps us remember all the good things that first attracted Shelley and I here more than 10 years ago! And it's nice to see them vacate the beach and return it to its pristine, peaceful state every night.... so we can enjoy some of the nicest sunsets in the western hemisphere... right off our deck at Costa Tesoro!!

Record sales continue on roatan

With the recent announcement of a "Recession" officially underway in the United States, Roatan seems to be even more appealing to those wanting a safer bet for their investment dollars. MLS statistics once again revealed a "record year" for sales on our small Caribbean island in 2007.

What's even more convincing is the new flight Continental Airlines has just added last week to their existing direct flight line up from Houston to Roatan. Now, aside from Saturdays and Sundays, Continental offers a mid-week flight on Thursdays, allowing visitors the option of shorter vacations, or longer.... depending on how you look at it. For us, living on Roatan, it gives us the freedom of hopping up to the US for a quick shopping trip, investor presentation, or just a nice getaway for a thick juicy Texas steak.
