Review: Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort on Roatan Island

Nestled along the breathtaking shores of West Bay Beach on Roatán Island, the Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort & Spa beckons travelers to immerse themselves in unparalleled luxury and natural beauty. Roatán Island is the largest of the Bay Islands of Honduras, and is home to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean. Since the resort’s grand opening in October 2023, this exquisite retreat has quickly become a coveted destination for those seeking an unforgettable Caribbean getaway.

New Flights From New York to Honduras’ Caribbean Coast

San Pedro Sula: it’s the portal to the Caribbean coast of Honduras, a destination that includes some of the most beloved islands in the Caribbean, including the increasingly hot destination of Roatan (which just welcomed its first-ever Kimpton). With demand continuing to grow, Avianca has announced plans to launch service between New York and San Pedro Sula beginning June 3. The new nonstop service will be operating three times per week, with flights on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

The resort’s inaugural retreat aims to reconnect individuals with the transformative power of nature and renew mind, body, and spirit in paradise.

This Is the Perfect Adventure Itinerary for Roatán

After checking my scuba gear, I backrolled into the turquoise water and found myself in a wonderland of candy-colored corals, giant barrel sponges, lacy sea fans, and neon fish. I drifted along in silent awe as schools of indigo-colored creole wrasses darted through shafts of sunlight and a colony of garden eels poked up through the seabed like miniature periscopes.

Nature lovers paddle through the protected mangroves around Jonesville, a town founded by Welsh settlers more than a century ago. Snorkelers swim out from points like West Bay Beach, Starfish Alley, and Newman’s Wall. Read more..
