CoCo View is located on Roatan, the largest of the Honduras Bay Islands. It is situated 35 miles off the north coast of Honduras. The Bay Islands are an extension of the Sierra de Omoa mountain range.

Roatan has a varied and tumultuous history dating through colonial times. Disputes over control of the island erupted between the Spanish and British, and very often Pirates who took advantage of the safe harbor around Port Royal. Native Garifuna communities still exist in Punta Gorda.

Roatan is a long, narrow island, 40 miles in length, total landmass of 49 square miles. The mountainous backbone is surrounded by extensive coral reefs. Fishing villages and towns dot the coastline.

CoCo View Resort is located on the protected south shore of Roatan. Coral reefs are in more shallow water, and experience calmer seas than the deeper and rougher north side.

Because of its location on the windward side of the island the resort enjoys a near constant gentle breeze from the prevailing winds of the Caribbean.

History
