Dive on Roatan at Anthony Key's

I recently got a recommendation from a friend for a really great place to stay and dive on Roatan: Anthony Key’s Resort. Although is a little more expensive than average, with rooms starting at US $120 a night, it is worth the price if you are looking for a quality, hiccup free diving vacation.

The Gringo Report team was recently contacted by the Human Rights Project regarding their new mission: “To exceed the act of inspiring and successfully move people from apathy to activism.”

The Gringo Report has teamed up with the Human Rights Project in calling others to action.

To get the ball rolling, the Human Rights Project has developed a beautifully illustrated full color book entitled, The Trouble with the Alphabet, written and illustrated by Caryn West. The book takes you around the world to 26 countries A-Z where children are suffering. Each country featured is also connected to a charitable organization that receives part of the proceeds from each book purchased, as well as all purchases from TheTroubleWiththeAlphabet.com.

The relaxed atmosphere lends itself to a pleasant dining experience. Since the seafood is really what you come here for, I suggest the seafood soup (it’s piled high with fresh seafood!) If you aren’t a fan of fish, I’ve heard that everything else is quite tasty as well, although I wouldn’t be able to tell you that from my own personal experience. Meals are less expensive than average, at less than US $10 for the food and drink.
