Stayed here with my wife and her sister for a week. We had the best of times. Rented scooters and travelled all over the island taking in the local culture and food in the most off beaten trails. Memories that will last a lifetime. The Resort to us was everything we could ask for. We had no problem with the... More

Stayed as a member of a scuba diving group. Facilities and staff were excellent for scuba diving. Rooms were pleasant, spacious with direct access to the beach. Bathroom showers need updating (water temperature was unreliable). All inclusive plan was a great deal, with all meals and drinks included; great assortment of entrees and desserts, fresh fruits and salads.

My husband and I will never return - in the seven days we were there, we lost power twice, had to take cold showers three times and out of 20+ meals, my husband was only able to get a diet coke for three of them (he can only drink diet sodas and the only diet they offer is coke). The... More

This is the second time we have been to Fantasy Island. The first time was a few years ago, and we were very happy, even though it's not a 5 star resort. We went to dive and it was really good diving. So, we went back this month, and oh, how things have changed. First off, they didn't pick us... More

We just returned from a week in April 2013 at Fantasy Island. We travel all over on dive trips and this was one of the best vacations we had. The resort is located on a private island of 21 acres. It's truely a nature lover's paradise. We toured the main island of Roatan and there is NO place that compares... More

April 20/13 Just returned from a week at Fantasy Island. The hotel is under new management and they are doing all the right things to restore visitor confidence. This is an older hotel but the staff keep it very clean. The beach is raked and cleaned every day. The rooms are slowly going to be renovated. In short it is... More

I have stayed at FIBR numerous times, probably 15, over the years and I have always enjoyed my stay. The rooms are comfortable and of a good size to be able to spread out. The new management is really doing a good job of restoring it to a much better condition. The food is always plentiful and served in a... More

What a great experience! Having never been to Honduras and honestly having never heard of Roatan, I choose Fantasy island with more a leap of faith than actual first hand knowledge. In the end, it was a great decision. Once my plane landed, the driver from the resort was there waiting for me. After a short ride, I arrived at... More

You might like it if you like being away from the hustle and bustle, are looking for a low key vacation with great snorkeling. If you go to this resort with the right mind set you will do great. It is a 3 star resort in a third world country. Most likely you picked this resort to dive or snorkel,... More

We burned through 36 tanks at the Fantasy Island dive shop, and it was very enjoyable. The dive masters and captains were great and the dive boats were awesome! Easy on & off the boat. They gave us fruit in between dives, and we usually visited a different reef every day. Highly recommended!
