I went to FI by myself and had a great time. I did not notice all of the problems that other reviewrs had listed. Please below for some information The food was OK, I had no problem with that at all. You will have to make reservations for dinner at breakfast or lunch. I ate at the 6:30 sitting for dinner as I was usually tired from the diving and could not stay up for the 8:30 sitting. The room was good. Yes, they are older, but the maid service was good and they kept the room clean, plenty of towels. It is easy getting beach towels at the front desk. Drink service was slow, but I had already heard about that. I did give a $1.00 tip when I got something. They remembered you and it helped with service. The same in the dining room. The diving was good. I was on "Little Tavita" with Miguel (divemaster) and Moses (captain). I have no complaints about the dive operation at all. We saw 2 sea-horses, and lots of other little stuff. Nothing big, but I had already heard about that too. I thought the beach was clean, I also checked out the pool and that looked good too. Befor I left, I had asked a pharmacist about bug repellant, and she suggested I take lots of vitamine B before I go and after I get there. I did and did not get bit much at all. And when I did, they did not itch. I did not use bug spray hardly at all. I guess I was pretty lucky I mostly used bug spray in the morning when I was going to the gazebo to get photos of the sunrise, then I sprayed my ankles. I also snorkeled over to CoCo View, they have good snorkeling there. It is a nice wall, and I say a couple of squid hanging out. It is pretty close and a short snorkel there. You have to be careful because you cross the boat lane, just make sure there are none coming. They also have a Web Cam and I told my friends I would be there at a specific time so they were able to see me while I was on vacation. It was pretty cool. I did stay on the resort for the whole trip. I was there only for a week and wanted to do a lot of diving, so I cannot comment on the rest of the the island of Roatan. But I would go back there again. One thing I did was I looked on balcony when I first got there. I had a 2nd floor room, and there was no view from the balcony, so I went back to the front desk and requested my room be changed, and they did that for me right away. I was then on the beach front on the ground floor. Much Better. My bag was also delayed by 1 day and was delivered right to the resort with no problem. The dive center let me borrow their gear until I got mine. It was a good trip. I will be retuning to the island again, but may stay somewhere else to experience diving in a different part of the island. That is the only reason I would stay somewhere else, I would also stay at FI again.
