End of October Already

October 2009...............Well, what an interesting time to be on Roatan. There's just never a dull moment! We've thrived despite earthquakes, bees, government takeovers and rainy days whilst trying to paint the pool. Guests continue to come and enjoy our beautiful resort while diving and snorkelling and Caribbean sunset watching by our pool.

We've taken the opportunity of the slower season to tackle jobs like refinishing louvered doors, watersealing floors and decks, attaching eaves troughing (gutters for the non-Canadian folks), tree trimming and a multitude of general repairs and refurbishings.
Internet continues to be a tad sketchy as is the power situation so we plod along as best we can and enjoy the quiet that having no power brings.
Christmas bookings are looking great and January bookings also so we have much to look forward to. We're excited about returning guests and some large groups that are booking with us.The new Lodges look fabulous and have drawn interest with local real estate agents. What a great idea for a family to purchase one and use it as a family base for vacations together!
Roatan boasts a new mall, soon to be opened new cruise ship dock and a beautiful new golf course with the front 9 holes to be opened by Christmas...things are looking up!
