As we docked, by the dawn’s early light, at the small remote section of the island of Roatan known as Mahogany Bay…it looked eerily familiar. The neat, colorful and brand new looking shopping village alongside the lovely, carefully manicured and neatly organized tropical beach. Oh yes…Disney’s Castaway Cay! Evidently the people from Carnival visited Castaway Cay and said…”We need one of these”…and…voila…Mahogany Bay, Roatan. Even if that is only a theory, what has resulted is magnificent. It is exactly what you would expect a tropical Caribbean resort would be like. We spend a wonderful few hours under a “clam shell” covering our beach chairs on the pristine white sands that led down to the perfectly clear and delightful Caribbean cove. This was absolutely one of the highlights of the cruise. The people were delightful and even the shopping village proved to be an interesting visit. I just wish we had been able to get into an actual village to see how the islanders lived. Oh well, maybe next time. It is obvious that Roatan is a resort destination in the making and I am sure it is going to be popping up on a lot of radars in the near future.
