UTILA ISLAND - Utila is a small island west of Roatan. Still relatively unknown to U.S. tourism, it's popularity is strongest with European travelers. Tiny Utila already has twelve dive operations, and due to its affordability, hosts many Instructor Training Courses. While there are also a handful of small guest houses and backpacker style lodgings dotting Utila's one and only "main" street, the finest dedicated dive resort on this simple and diminutive island is Laguna Beach Resort.

LAGUNA BEACH RESORT - This is, far and away, the best resort on the island of Utila. Owned by two native Utilans, Troy & Edith Bodden, it is reported that they have already spent more than two million dollars developing this beautiful oceanfront property a mile or so outside of "town." The rooms are spacious individual cabanas, built on a narrow sandy Caye separating the ocean from a large saltwater lagoon. Both the dive shop and the communal areas are impressive in their design and quality of materials and construction.

TROPICAL STORM POLICY - Laguna Beach Resorts wants all of our guests to have a safe and worry free vacation. A named tropical disturbance, or meteorological event can create adverse sea conditions and adversely affect valuable dive time. This is why Laguna Beach Resort has developed a published Storm Policy, so guests can book with confidence. This policy will compensate guests who lose days of diving at Laguna Beach Resort as a result of a named meteorological disturbance. Any LBR guest whose diving is interrupted as a result of a named storm will receive a credit voucher based on the number of days of diving missed. If Laguna Beach Resort closes in advance due to a storm's predicted path and landfall as forecasted, guests will automatically receive a voucher for the total land and/or dive portion of their trip and any domestic air charter booked with Utila Air Service. These vouchers allow guests to return to Laguna Beach Resort within one year of the interrupted trip.

This Storm Policy is not a substitute for the purchase of a comprehensive Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance policy. All guests are strongly encouraged to purchase this policy as it provides financial protections beyond their resort stay, and can offer financial assistance for flights, interrupted travels, and cancellations for other covered reasons as well. It is best to purchase a Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance policy immediately after confirming your reservation. Please note: Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance cannot be purchased once a storm has been named. Laguna Beach Resort vouchers apply to passengers who do not receive compensation from their trip insurance carrier. This program is specifically for lost days at Laguna Beach Resort and is not issued when a guest is unable to get to Laguna Beach Resort due to transportation issues, whether as a result of a storm or any other conditions by which the resort is not affected.

"My daughter and I just got back from Utila, and I just wanted to tell you that our trip to Laguna Beach Resort couldn't have been more prefect. We loved it! The diving was amazing. Kate, our dive instructor/master went with us on every dive and took pleasure in pointing out all the little creatures that require an expert eye to see. And there were turtles, a spotted Eagle Ray, loads of moray eals, and other types of eals. The coral and sponges were gorgeous. And of course, so were the fish. I loved that the diving was wonderful at every depth. I felt well taken-care-of with the diving.

"Our boat captain, Wagner, also tended to us during every dive. He was funny and fun, and his 25 years experience really proved out when he dropped us right on top of two different whale sharks. The resort, itself was just what I love. It is very well put-together, everything built out of Honduras Mahogany-not fancy, but clean, comfortable, and in good repair. The food was really good with lots of variety. Sometimes the chef of the day would surprise us with a really special dessert. We did not get sick or uncomfortable at all. The pool was nice too. Overall the relaxed atmosphere, the friends we made, the professional staff and the fantastic scuba diving made it difficult to leave. Thanks for your help and good advice before we went." -- Wren Winston

CLIENT COMMENT - "Our whole family loved this beautiful, isolated and quiet place. My wife, the non-diver, said this may have been her best vacation ever. Even the two teenage divers enjoyed the tranquility and great diving. We all loved the beach under the coconut trees. The management, Jack and Lucy, as well as the boat captain and dive staff all had an outstanding attitude of accommodation. What an absolutely great place to visit!" CC, Maplesville, AL
