mayan day passes

Loved seeing the different ruins..I especially liked seeing the smaller, out of the usual, tourist attractions ..our guide was a lot of fun and kept us interested

The service and attitude here is great and it has a wonderful dive shop. Highly recommend it and the turn off to it is before the messed up road at West Bay in front of Infinity Bay, Paradise Hotels and Grand Roatan.

We usually travel with three kids, but this time it was just the two of us and this was an excellent excursion from the cruise ship! It is close by so no long ride to get there, the people are super friendly, the snorkeling is unbelievable!! MUCH better than hanama (sp?) Bay in Hawaii. The animals that have been rescued are all there to see. I thought the tour of the replica ruins and animals was going to be stupid, but I was wrong... It was very good. My only regret is that we only had 6 hours, I could have spent 2 days there. One caution... Make sure your mask and flippers are comfortable. Mine were not great and I was too lazy to change them once I got in the water.

Location was great, could get a little crowded. Drinks were not too expensive (Beer $3). Was able to book a snorkel adventure for $10 a person.

Very accommodating place for day passes; friendly, safe, shady with plenty of space to walk and play frisbee when you tire from snorkeling

Have been going to West Bay Beach for three years now. We own a villa up at Pristine Bay and visit Roatan 2 -3 times a year. Anyway - came in August with a group of 10 5 adults, 5 children (over age 7). The beach was deserted...we walked through from the street to Thirsty Turtle as we have always done and planned on paying $5.00 per chair for day as we always have. We were then told that the chairs were $10.00 for the day - again - the beach was deserted and there were no cruise ships coming in. I explained that we will be there all day and eating and drinking all day and that we would like the chairs for the regular $5.00 we always had paid. The guy said he would speak with the owner and came back 5 minutes later saying "no" the price is $10.00. I was so angry I said forget it and decided to walk down the beach. Came to Mayan Princess and asked about their chairs and how much were they...guess what- they were FREE, as well we were allowed to use their pool and gazebo area and all we had to do was buy lunch which is what we were planning on doing anyway. The chairs were beautiful (not the hard plastic over at Bananarama/Thirsty Turtle. We set up and promptly ordered drinks. A few of us then went into the beautiful sea water and our waiter actually waded out to us to bring us our drinks!!! Impeccable service! We stayed there for at least 7 hours and spent at least $300.00 on food and drinks all day - While I was (and still am) agrevated by the "powers that be" over at Thirsty Turtle...I am pleased that I now have a new place to go that treats me that way a person spending money should be treated...with respect.

Very overpriced and not really worth it. You can go to Bananarama and spend less money and eat and drink for the price you would have paid. The plus is that there is a pool. If you are just looking for a beach you can spend less.

I was with 5 others on a cruise and we did a day pass at the Mayan Princess while on a cruise port stop. I had researched activities to do in Roatan, and hands down they have beautiful beaches. We decided to do this "excursion" and are so glad we did. It's a beautiful hotel property that was very quiet by the pool, bar, etc. The beach had a lot of folks on it, from both tourists at other hotels strolling the beach, hotel patrons, or cruisers. There were plenty of chairs, but we were also one of the first groups to arrive. They have separate chairs for day passes vs. hotel guests. One of the highlights of the day was the man who walked his pet monkey (picture attached)...the monkey was a hoot! We also enjoyed a local salesman who sold mixed meat empenadas (YUM!) that we snacked out. The Mayan bar had a good mix of food and drinks that was at a price you would expect on a resort property. All in all, I'd go back with no hesitation. It's a beautiful stretch of beach and the sand is so soft. There's also plenty of palm trees for those who want/need shade.

This is a great place to stay! We have been staying at The Mayan Princess for eight yeays in a arrow. They have everything you need, beautiful rooms, execellent staff, Mayan Divers and EXCELLENT internet !

took advantage of the pay as you go pilates class during our last trip to the islandthe instructor was awesome if I remember right her name is Jill she is very well educated to teach the class a mixed group of all resort guests as well as those from the mayan and a few long time stay vacationersdefinatly worth going to the classes they where on wed and friday when I visited just go into mayan and ask what day and for 5 bucks you burn off a few more calories than usual.... so you can have an extra monkey lala !!!!!

The resort is absolutely beautiful, it feels very tropical. The staff is very helpful and friendly. There wasn't anything that I didn't like except having to leave the resort when time to board the ship.

My family of four (boys 18 & 20) did a day trip off of a cruise to the Mayan Princess on the recommendation of our taxi driver. The resort is as seen in pictures - beautiful West Bay beach location, crystal clear waters and scenic pool. BUUUUUT, they oversell the $10 day passes. No chairs by the beach or pool and lots of complaining customers. The manager did not seem interested in helping his customers and the staff suddenly became very limited in their English. And the groups just kept pouring in joining the displeased hordes already inside. I can imagine staying at this resort would be a disaster on these cruise days. There's a series of these West Bay resorts - find a less crowded alternative!
