El Palacio Rosa de J&K on Blue Lagoon

30/12/2024

A beautiful shot of the small (~100 yds long) reef in the middle of Carib (our) Bay.

It's a veritable nursery loaded with juvenile species of everything along the larger reef. It's also easily accessible and an excellent place to learn to snorkel. There's a concrete block with a float to tie up your kayak/paddle board that's in the turtle grass about 4 ft deep.

It's even beautiful if you're not a beginner.

From your balcony, it looks like a tabletop, and hence the name "Tabletop Reef". Eagle rays, lobster, conch, octopus, squid, barracuda, grouper, snapper, bumblebees, etc.

We also have tie-ups at "Hurricane Ridge" and "Purple Fancy". Both awesome snorkels and scuba dives.

Three reefs, a shipwreck, entrance to the mangrove tunnels and the Blue Lagoon... And an Infinity pool reaching out over a small private beach on the bay.

Kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear, and a private scuba shop to take care of your stuff at the end of the day. Restaurants just a few minutes away with awesome expat vibes. Tour guides come and pick you up right at the dock.

So far, we've had to respond to several friends' posts with the following pictures expressing how we feel about their negative freezing temperatures and wind situation in the US.

I'm going to repost it here cuz we just can't keep up with all of you....

This is what Hope looks like:

Tiki Boat Adventures - Roatan swinging by to pick up guests next door and up geeking you on the balcony. They'll even come pick you up.

We moved the fish cleaning table to the end of the dock... And all the carcasses are getting dropped off the edge.

It's become a busy spot.

There's at least three or four of them down there.

It's time to make the donuts.

Have a busy week coming up and looking forward to getting in the water with friends old and new...

And when the dockmaster's away, I get to play.

We took advantage of the beautiful weather today to turn off all the things we really moved here to not see and went out around the corner for a dive at Patty's Place & the Train Station which is rarely disappointing.

Today was one of those days where it shined. Lots of fish. And a big beautiful Nurse shark. With a quick stop through Purple Fancy (and Tangs!) at the end.

Three reefs, a shipwreck, entrance to the mangrove tunnels, an infinity pool overlooking our own small private beach, and a quiet and serene bay... Incredible views clear to the mainland. And sunsets that will blow you away are scheduled on time and for you every evening.

Come and get away from your regular getaway.

Super cool Snorkel off the point today. It was extremely beautiful as we entered the bay as the bay is generally cloudy...

And we had this big fella stalking us through the entire snorkel.

Amazing that spending just one week with this guy and he now owns our hearts!! We are so grateful to be a part of his life. Love you, buddy! ❤️❤️
