Hello, Honduras!
Hello, Honduras!
Checking into the dreamy, seaside Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort.
For travelers in the know, the dazzling coastline of Honduras is a top pick for a sun-and-sand sojourn, and for good reason: Its barefoot luxury is an alternative to the popular Caribbean, with a sea as vibrant blue as an Icee, bespoke dive excursions along the Mesoamerican Reef (the second largest in the world), and crowd-free beaches where the only soundtrack is rustling palms and gently lapping waves. Check into the Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort, and discover the finest in Honduras living. Here’s what to see, sip, and savor.
Eye on Design
The resort’s interiors strike a breezy balance between island authenticity and contemporary chic. Expect handcrafted textures, natural wood accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the lines between indoors and the shimmering Caribbean Sea. Suites are thoughtfully styled with organic materials and subtle nods to local artistry, while open-air spaces invite sunset artisanal cocktails that linger into the evening. Unwind at a modern tropical sanctuary where design doesn’t shout—it subtly redefines what upscale means in the Bay Islands.
Sip & Savor
Resort dining is as memorable as the turquoise views. The culinary program celebrates bold Caribbean flavors with a refined, modern take. At The Drop Off, sip craft cocktails perched above a coral cliff, while Alera delivers Mediterranean-inspired dishes with island-sourced ingredients—grilled octopus with passionfruit glaze or fresh-caught snapper wrapped in banana leaves, for starters. Even breakfast feels indulgent, with tropical fruits and just-baked pastries served seaside. From ceviche at the swim-up bar to candlelit dinners under the stars, every bite is a sensory escape—perfectly in step with Roatán’s rhythm of relaxed sophistication.
Don’t Miss
A private helicopter tour to the UNESCO-listed Copán ruins and a personalized visit with Lenca artisans crafting heirloom pottery. Indeed, there’s an authentic, immersive thread running through every customized itinerary. It’s not just about where you sleep—it’s how deeply you connect with local culture.

A Tale of Skip-Generation Travel
An AmaWaterways river cruise with the grandkids is one for the books.
I took my first trip to Disney when I was six and haven't stopped traveling since. I fell in love with It’s a Small World. How great was it to visit numerous countries on a joyous boat ride! Since then, I've traveled to 50+ countries on six continents. In 2017, I traveled around the world and visited 23 countries – I spent more than a month in Italy and England and also enjoyed time in Israel, Japan, France and Morocco. While I spent a lot of time traveling solo, I also enjoyed time with my family and friends. Seeing their joy discovering new places helped me discover the joy that comes from planning a magical trip. From then, I decided to turn my passion into a profession.
Some of my favorite places to go include Italy, London, Paris, New York City, Boston, The Grand Canyon, The Galapagos Islands, Israel and Japan.
