Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Hello,

Well the best kept secret of the Caribbean island of Roatan is no longer. Yesterday National Geographic Magazine published its Top 10 Pick of Best Summer Vacation Destinations and our little island was their number nine pick.

This well respected magazine article will be a huge boost to tourism on Roatan as well as a much needed “shot in the arm” for Roatan Real Estate industry. With the continued support of Continental and Delta airlines providing direct flights to the island, tourists looking for a new place to vacation will find it easy to make travel plans and enjoy their summer get away on a tropical island.

There is no shortage of things to do here during your stay. Of course there are the diving, snorkeling and fishing trips you would find on an island and new this year is an 18 hole, Pete Dye designed, championship golf course. So bring your clubs and come on down. If you would like assistance in planning your trip feel free to give me a call 831 359-4244.

Enjoy Life, Philip

Holiday Travel to Roatan

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

Happy Holidays to everyone,

I know many of you travel, or tried to travel over the holidays. Hopefully you were not stranded in the blizzard that hit the northeast U.S. The press is still reporting airport closures as I’m writing.

If you are saving your vacation days for the upcoming weeks I hope you are considering Roatan as your warm water destination. Our winter rains have past and we are currently having the best weather you could wish for. Sunny and warm, translation….no snow.

The hotels on Roatan were booked solid through New Years but many still have reservations available for January if you plan quickly. If you are looking for a recommendation for an excellent hotel on a spectacular beach you might check out Parrot Tree Plantation.

This is a perfect place to relax after the hectic holidays and warm you body in the sun. Snorkeling and diving are at your door step and the new golf course is 10 minutes away.

If you would like assistance with reservations I would be glad to assist you. You can call me at 831-359-4244 or send me an email, Philip@RoatanLiving.com

Have a wonderful and prosperous New Year, Philip

Pristine Bay golf course condominiums on Roatan

Friday, June 26th, 2009

pristine-bay-logo.JPGHello, it has been almost exactly one year since I last wrote about golf becoming available on Roatan. Since that time the Pristine Bay Resort and Black Pearl Golf Course have progressed at a pace that is unmatched by any other project on the island. The developer announced this month that the new condominiums overlooking the golf course and the ocean are now available to purchase. The floor plans were released with the announcement and after taking a look at them I think they are spectacular. For details and pricing you can send me an email: Philip@RoatanLiving.com

Today Perry Dye announced that work on the course is ahead of schedule and barring any weather delays there will be 6-9 holes open for play by November. He continued stating that all of the irrigation system has been insalled and work has begun on sprigging the fairways. Also that the frist green has been planted at hole 11.

A group visiting Pristine Bay this week and was so excited about the possibility of golf this fall they were asking for tee times!  If golf is your preferred way to relax come on down check out the Greens and the Blues,  Black Pearl Golf Course and the Pristine Bay Resort.

Enjoy Life, Philip
