Great snorkeling! - We spent a wonderful day with Jovan! Holding a sloth was wonderful. The beach we went to had beautiful clear water. Private snorkeling was the best! It was a great day!

Best tour guide and experience! - Reny was a great tour guide! We got into his AC car drove to the monkeys, sloths and birds then went to both the rum and chocolate factory for tastings. Our most favorite part was snorkeling at west bay beach. Reny took care of us the whole time and we felt very safe and secure. Most importantly we had no worry getting back to the cruise ship in time. We even stopped at the Roatan sign and he took pictures with us in front of it.

Great time on Roatan for our Family! - We were traveling with our son and daughter-in-law and our 2 year old grandson. We were able to bring a car seat for him which made him and all of us more comfortable for the trip. There were 5 ships in port that day, so many people at the Sloth and Monkey's experience, but it was still good. David, our tour guide, took us to a beach area with food and accommodations that was very nice and not crowded. He accommodated our schedule to go back to the ship earlier than most due to traveling with a 2 year old. It was well worth the private van for the excursion when traveling with a 2 year old! Thank you Roatan Five Stars and David.

Great Choice if you have young children - We had a great trip. We had a toddler so had a car seat and stroller. The car had plenty of room and we got everything hooked up easily. This excursion was by far the smoothest and most relaxing of our cruise.

Our family loved the monkeys and sloth - Very enjoyable tour to see monkeys and sloth. They can be held and are very tame, even with young children. Our tour guide JB, who was born on Roatan, was informative and most accommodating. Expect the initial 15 minutes to be chaotic due to Honduran traffic congestion.

Mixed Review Due to Little French Key - Pros and cons for the excursion from the Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas. We did a private sloths and monkeys tour followed by a beach day at Little French Key. We booked after seeing the YouTube reviews and we wanted a more personalized excursion from the masses of people on the cruise ships. Some definite highlights but some lowlights that brought our rating down. Pros - 1. Our tour guide Susan was amazing, Personable, informed, pleasant, great English, and a very safe driver. 5 stars for Susan. We felt very safe and well taken care of with her. She gave us a wonderful tour of Roatan the island in between stops. 2. AJ’s Sloths and Monkeys. Susan got us there right as the sanctuary opened so we had the place almost to ourselves before the cruise crowds arrived. It was a small group of our immediate family and the experience was once in a lifetime. The animals were well cared for and staff were trained and informative. 5 stars for AJs! Cons- 1. Little French Key. Roatan Five Stars should consider partnering with another beach club. LFK in general was dilapidated, dirty, and not what we expected or hoped for. The wooden docks were missing planks and entire sections were falling into the ocean, Parts of the actual club beach were covered in trash like cans and plastic and glass bottles and very dirty. And were unsafe. Even the boat ride over was on what looked like a trash barge. Next door was Big French Key which was much more maintained, clean and safe. Finally LGK had several tigers and leopards that were caged in too-small rusty and dilapidated enclosures and they looked pretty miserable. Little French Key was okay in a very small area near the channel to swim but much of the island was run down and not maintained or groomed. Actually worried about walking on certain areas of the docks. Two stars for LFK. 2. Roatan Five Star Logistics. We had to leave the port to meet the tour operator and it did not always feel safe. When we got to the meeting point our group had been separated into two different groups when we were a family of 7 traveling together. It took them some time to sort that out. Meanwhile we were standing in a large mob of people trying to sell stuff and it felt uncomfortable especially for the women in the group who were getting leered at. A pickup point closer to the pier or away/escorted from the large mob of port traffic would he nice. Three stars for logistics. We would definitely book with Roatan Five Stars again. And we would definitely go to AJS again. But we would pass on Little French Key and go to another Brady instead that is better maintained.
