This paradise archipelago comprises three main islands, Roatan, Guanaja, Utila and three smaller ones that lie some thirty miles off the Caribbean coast. For a long time, these islands were a closely guarded secret among adventurers, divers and fishermen who had fallen in love with their turquoise-blue waters and white-sand beaches. Today, no longer a secret, but still highly prized, the islands have several small hotels, dive schools and are an excellent place to soak up the sun.
