I would tend to agree. Fantasy Island is not the place for nature lovers or those who want to get the true atmosphere of the island. It holds more appeal for Central American tourists who like the relatively luxurious rooms, air conditioning and color TV's. Those are things that most of us have plenty of at home. When I stayed there last they were dredging in front of the hotel and made a real racket and mess of the water. And they seem to have more than their fair share of sand flies as well, probably due to the artificial beach and sand bars they created. -----Original Message----- From: Becky Dayhuff Date: Friday, January 26, 2001 12:01 AM Subject: Re: [Roatan] Resort info. >I would most adamantly avoid Fantasy Island right now.
