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.
Travel has always been a significant part of my life, but since starting and selling my own ambulance company, it has become an obsession for over a decade now. Be it diving with sharks at the Great Barrier Reef and watching turtles hatch and rush to the sea, on Heron Island, Australia. Too skydiving over Paris (Lake Perris, CA) that is, and hang gliding over the the majestic beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Or lounging on the beaches of a private villa in Tahiti. I have traveled the world, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, the USA, Mexico, Canada and Australia. I've visited all continents, except Antarctica, which is on my to do list. I love adventure travel but also seeing different world cultures. The museums of Madrid and Barcelona. The history of Berlin and the splendors of Italy and Greece. Relaxing on exotic beaches or just being a picture taking tourist on Safari in Africa. Travel is my passion and now my job. I love planning travel for others as much as I love traveling mys ...
