Holiday Bookings for Roatan Look Encouraging

Friday, November 20th, 2009

As I travel around the island I have been making it a point to ask resort managers, desk clerks and scuba shop owners what their bookings look like for the holidays. So far the responses have been “Our Bookings Are Up”. That response is certainly an improvement over the last 10 months.

The dive shop at Palmetto said that they have received enough reservations that they would need two boats during the holidays to handle all their guests. They typically operate with only one boat.

None of the resorts or dive shops I spoke with indicated that they were full for the holidays but that is a distinct possibility since Christmas is still four weeks away and there are always those who procrastinate making their reservations.

Everyone here is excited that the tourists are beginning to return to Roatan. It has been a VERY slow year and having guests on the island will certainly brighten the holidays. Don’t forget that if you are interested in Real Estate here we offer a buyer stays free program, check out the web site for details.

Price Reduction in Parrot Tree Plantation

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Everybody loves a bargain…..right?

Well here is the latest bargain on real estate here in Roatan. Home site lots in Parrot Tree reduced 30%! That takes the price back to 2005 levels. These lots are still owned by the developer and he needs to move some of these properties to keep the cash flowing so buyers are going to save a bundle.

Parrot Tree Plantation and Hillside lots over looking Marina

Parrot Tree Plantation Hillside lots over Marina

My favorite lot is one of the view properties above the Marina. It is lot 116 and will sell now for $105,000. It has a view over the Marina to the turquoise water of the reef and even to the mountains of mainland Honduras.

If a stunning home site with unlimited possibilities is your Caribbean dream then you can combine this great lot with the lot below to make a site suitable for an infinity edge pool to take your breath away.

If you would like some additional information abut this property or others in our Roatan MLS database please write or give me a call. I look forward to being your Realtor on Roatan.

Enjoy Life, Philip
