| We spent several wonderful days at Paya Bay, and must say it is a wonderful place to stay! Wonderful staff, superb food, truly exquisite setting, beautiful beaches, and stunning diving. It is 'off the beaten path' but as a diver, naturist, or just someone looking for a stay without all the trappings of 'tourist areas' this is truly it! You cannot find a better place than this if you are looking for all of the above. We only got to scuba one day, but it was a superb dive, with lots of fish and lots and lots of waving fans and coral. Truly great! This place should be tried by scuba businesses looking for a GREAT place to take thier dive trips, and for those looking for a clothing optional beach, this is the finest one around! Truly a great place to visit! DRB |

| Three years ago Josh and I spent our honeymoon at Paya Bay. We had a wonderful time and always wanted to return. In June we visited Roatan for the second time. We decided to rent a beach house and explore a part of the island we didn't get to spend my time at. After a few days, we decided to visit Paya for lunch and a swim. When we pulled up to the resort, we felt at home. After lunch and a few cocktails, we asked if we could stay. We drove back to our beach house gathered our things and headed back to Paya Bay. We never once regreted giving up our house. In fact, we were thankful. I ended up getting sick and everyone tried to make me feel better. Charlie made me a special soup. Connie gathered leaves and made me herbal tea. I was treated like family. Paya Bay is a gem. We would like to be selfish and not let anyone know of our special place but at the same time, everyone should experience the magic of Paya Bay.
Thank you again for another amazing trip. All of you are very special to Josh and I. We will never again make the mistake of staying anywhere other than our beloved Paya. |

| If you want beauty, quiet, excellent food and drink, and wonderful diving, Paya Bay is for you. After an interesting drive from the airport, you will find yourself transported to a little piece of paradise. Even if you are not a diver, you can't help but love Paya Bay. It is a place to slow down and let the world go by while sitting on a gorgeous terrace overlooking the ocean while sipping a cool drink and reading a good book. It is a place to chat with the wonderful people who work there, eat delicious food prepared just to your liking, dive twice a day or more if weather permits, fish, sleep...what am I doing here in the cold??? Time to go back to Paya Bay!! |

| Paya Bay is the ultimate get-a-way! We spent a little over a week diving, relaxing in the sun, eating great food, swimming, meeting terrific people and exploring. We found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful -always happy to share tips and information about their island. Even though the drive from the airport to Paya Bay is about an hour, we were picked up and dropped off by someone who seemed happy to do it! The meals were terrific with lots of variety to keep even the hardest to feed happy. Diving here was such a treat! Our gear was always well taken care of, all we had to do was get on the boat and dive. The sights were different each time with lots of swim throughs, caves, walls, canyons, etc. There were three in our group and not one of us was ready to leave on our day of departure. If ever you need a place to relax and de-stress, Paya Bay is the place to do it!!

| Beautiful! Best kept secret on Roatan. God's great room. Panoramic views. Emerald waters. Blue-green waters. Pure serenity. Conde Nast cover. Island people treat tourist as people. Roatan people are are genuine and want to know you and are open with their lives. Part of me wishes selfishly that no one finds Paya Bay. Its unspoiled nature and beauty takes me back to what our planet once was. Virgin. Strong drinks. Romantic nights. Days spent making love. Walking the beach. Nights spent making love. Tropical drinks and $8.00 lobster dinners. Paya Bay is a spiritual experience. There is no price too high for this once in a lifetime place. |

| We have been vacationing in Roatan for the last 7 years. We had the best time ever at Paya Bay Resort. We had the absolute best service, and the best food, the most gorgeous atmosphere, and spectacular diving experiences possible. We even were able to spend 2 hours with a pod of at least 20 wild dolphins that let us play and touch them, an experience that even growing up in Florida we have never had the opportunity to have. It was simply spectacular. The night diving was also simply something to behold and remember. And because of such personalized attention, such experiences are possible!
The dive shop is expertly run with attention to your every need. Your equipment is attended to and kept immaculately clean. You have the opportunaty to dive pristine reefs and landscapes while being treated like kings and queens. It is truly the vacation of a ultimate relaxation and diving enjoyment. We would recommend it for anyone interested in good food, relaxation, swimming, and, diving. |

| Absolute Paradise! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paya Bay Resort. The east end of Roatan where Paya Bay resides was so quiet and peaceful, it was just perfect for us. We were spoiled by the friendly staff, the excellent food, and with sunny days on the boat scuba diving. We enjoyed many sunsets on the deck with a light breeze off the ocean. The beaches were intimate with excellent sun and swimming. We highly recommend the day trip to the Pigeon Keys, one of the many highlights of our trip!
Paya Bay made sure we had transportation to and from the airport at Roatan. The staff also helped us to book overnight reservations in San Pedro Sula and flights from San Pedro Sula to Roatan. It made traveling easy with no hassles. We have truly never been so relaxed in our lives!
Many thanks to everyone at Paya Bay for such a wonderful vacation! |

| From the moment Mr. McNabb picked us up at the airport we were treated with such graciousness. We got really spoiled in a hurry. The resort is so quaint and far removed from the ordinary cookie-cutter fashion of so many of the hotels today. We were hoping to find a resort that was unique and out of the fast paced hubbub. That is exactly what we got. It was delightful.
The service was excellent. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. McNabb went far beyond just making us feel welcome and comfortable. They are such beautiful people, we felt as though we were with family. from the wait staff to the porters everyone was warm and friendly and happy to serve.
We especially loved each meal at Paya Bay. It was so delicious and beautifully prepared. As you know, we ordered the "American Plan which included breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was always cooked just the way we asked. The shrimp and lobsterr were always scrumptious. We ordered it almost everyday. What a treat!
The scuba diving and snorkeling were out of this world! We were again, so very well taken care of on each dive. Ben and Michael, the dive masters, were very knowledgeable with diving as well as "showing us their playground," the gorgeous reefs and sea life of Roatan. There are no words that can describe that beauty. It just has to be experienced. It was perfectly awesome. |
