Have you decided on which area you want to stay?
We stayed at West Bay Lodge both times we visited Roatan. It's not right on the beach but close enough and they do have a small pool. The owners really are great and will pick you up at the airport and breakfast is included. Have fun.

I've done some research for our upcoming cruise and Bananarama seems to fit your needs. We're planning on doing a snorkel / dive excursion through them but don't leave for another month. Good luck! Also check out Maya Princess...

We stayed at Posada Orquideas when we were there a couple of years ago. Price was great, it was clean, roomy and nice views over the water. It's in West End. West Bay has much nicer beaches, but definitely more (and better) restaurant choices in West End.

West Bay certainly has the best beach and gets alot of cruise ship traffic when in, nice places to stay as mentioned in other posts (Bananarama and West Bay Lodge). Sandy Bay on the north shore is a little more laid back, nice secluded beaches with mostly vacation homes and some efficiencies at reasonable rates. The reef is in snorkeling distance from shore which is a plus and keeps the cost down. You can look at www.seadancer.net or www.hobbies-hideaway.com. West end is the party place with alot of bars, restaurants, places to stay and a nice public beach. All areas good, just what fits your needs. Reasonable accommodations can be found in all three areas.

Just last week, Bananarama was on House Hunters International. If I remember correctly, the featured family was from Idaho and purchased it.

I stayed at Bananarama a few years ago when it was under different ownership. I can't say what it's like now, but I looked at their website recently and it looks like they improved it quite a bit. Anyway, I do know that it has a great location at the far end of West Bay beach, with good snorkeling right off shore.
