If
you
want
a
quiet,
private
place
to
enjoy
Roatan,
and
particularly
if
you
want
to
get
in
some
great
diving,
stay
here.
The
Octopus
room
is
great
for
a
family
of
4-6
(3
beds
in
2
rooms),
the
food
is
great
and
affordable,
and
the
staff
is
friendly.
You'll
get
to
know
pretty
much
all
the
staff
members,
and
you
might
catch
the
owners
there
as
well
-
they
spend
a
lot
of
time
there.
Our
kids
loved
Harry
the
waiter/bartender
and
he
was
great
with
them.
(our
son
still
plays
online
games
with
him,
ha).
We
had
a
great
experience
with
all
the
Scuba
staff
-
Velvet
and
Kyle
led
most
of
our
dives.
David
is
the
head
bartender
and
he
was
always
friendly
and
ready
to
make
a
quick
drink.
Jordan
is
the
hotel
manager.
He
does
a
great
job
keeping
the
place
in
great
shape,
and
will
personally
take
you
on
a
tour
(it's
quick,
because
the
place
is
small)
and
make
sure
you
have
what
you
need.
All
of
the
staff
went
out
of
their
way
to
make
sure
our
stay
was
easy
and
enjoyable,
and
recommend
other
places
for
us
to
go
while
on
the
island.
We
visited
a
couple
of
the
West
Bay
resorts
and
even
spent
a
couple
evenings
in
the
West
End.
Our
visit
to
those
other
resorts
confirmed
that
we
had
chosen
well
with
Tranquilseas!
For
diving,
this
is
an
easy
dive
trip.
Show
up
with
or
without
your
own
equipment.
Either
way,
they
manage
it
for
you:
the
boat
leaves
from
the
dock
in
front,
and
the
staff
will
get
your
gear
ready
on
the
boat
so
you
never
have
to
lug
it
around.
Stumble
out
of
your
room
in
the
morning,
grab
breakfast
(included)
,
and
go
on
any
of
the
9
AM,
11
AM,
and
2
PM
dives
with
your
gear
all
ready
on
the
boat
and
expert
divemasters
and
captains
ready
to
make
it
easy
and
enjoyable.
Tips
for
Tranquilseas:
bring
your
own
sunscreen
and
bug
spray.
They
sell
eco-friendly
versions
that
we
didn't
love.
But
do
use
their
reef-friendly
sunscreen
when
you
dive
or
snorkel.
They
will
provide
each
guest
a
reusable
water
bottle
and
5-gallon
water
bottle
chillers
in
each
room
so
no
need
to
bring
water
bottles.
Bring
untorn,
clean
US
currency.
Everyone
prefers
USD
(though
many
places
take
credit
cards
too)
-
but
you
can't
get
it
from
the
ATMs
(which
only
dispense
Lempira).
Tips
are
appreciated
in
any
currency
-
but
taxis,
tours,
some
smaller
West
End
shops
and
bars,
hair
braiders,
etc.
prefer
US
cash
and
will
actually
charge
more
for
Credit
Cards
or
Lempira.
There's
not
a
ton
for
kids
to
do
after
they've
snorkeled,
swum
in
the
pool,
kayaked
and
paddle-boarded.
My
kids
liked
hanging
out
and
reading,
but
we
wish
we
had
brought
a
couple
of
games
for
them
to
play
to
keep
them
off
devices.
