Welcome To West Bay Roatan
City/town information
West Bay has dozens of restaurants and bars along the beach or within blocks of it. Most places have happy hour specials and nightly specials. Some of our favorite spots include:
Argentinian Grill - If you're looking for beef this is one of the best spots on this island.
Beachers - Very casual but very good food. Their 3 tail lobster special (Monday’s)coconut shrimp (best on the beach Friday night special) and Taco Tuesday's are fantastic.
Thirsty Turtle (Bananarama Resort) - Great brick oven Pizza's, 2 for 1 pizza Thursday and Saturday happy hour specials daily. Check out the Sunday crab races and fire show.
Breakfast available many places, if looking for a local place for a baleada or pastalito try La Placita Mall (Arlyn’s)(Bananarama Road) or George's (between Beachers and Fosters).
Take the water taxi (catch it at Infinity Bay dock) or flag down from the beach. And go to the West End. $5 per person one way. Even more dining options there. We like Happy Harry's right on the water, their seafood platter is an event!
Many more other dining options, dive shops and shopping in the West End.

If you’re looking for your PADI certification you’ve come to the right place.

Take you theory portion online before getting here so that you can complete your open water certification in a few days during your visit.
