The End of the World
No, we're not Doomsday theorists. The End of the World is actually the name of a tiny 12-room guest resort on Guanaja, one of The Bay Islands which makes up a floating constellation off the coast of Honduras.
Discovered by Columbus on July 30, 1502, it's the least developed of the three. While Roatan grows bigger and bigger every day with its non-stop commercial carrier flights and giant cruise ships, this little-known eden on the water at the tail-end sounds like it's still relatively virginal -- and decidedly groovy.
The End of the World has 12 cabanas that overlook a pristine beach that looks close enough to tumble into from bed. It has a tiki bar and restaurant, scuba and snorkeling gear in the dive shop, kayaking, fishing, and a private mooring dock.
There's also a waterfall on the premises that provides drinking water (but no Playboy Mansion style grotto), and the two-story clubhouse makes for some prime sunset viewing.
More on the End of the World after the jump.
The Bay Islands have what is known to be some of the best diving for the buck in the Caribbean. And here, the diving packages are incredibly reasonable: $850 a person includes seven nights of accommodations plus two meals a day, two dives a day, unlimited snorkeling, a waterfall trip AND transfers to the airport.
Of course, when the world ends you don't expect to have a TV or phone at hand. That's why the place is totally lacking-- no phones, no garbage, no sirens, no fax tones, and no demands. Just the birds and the bees. Er, the waves. And there are no guest reviews about the place except the ones on the hotel's website, which are all total raves. So if you've been there, let us know so we know more about the End.
