Just curious, what was the problem with Contadora?

Roatan is an amazing place. I personaly prefere to just find something in West End and not stay at a resort, but I am sure the beauty of the Island will make up for any dissapointments you find at your resort. ----- Original Message ----- From: "fsullivan" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 2:58 PM Subject: RE: [roatan] Re: FANTASY ISLAND BEACH RESORT, ROATAN > > > Readytogowiththeflow is my middle name.
