We had the most wonderful time at the Resort at Marble Hill. I had read that they had a "responsive, helpful staff" before we had even booked with them, but now I understand the meaning of those words. They were 100% committed to making sure we had an excellent time, and they were warm and welcoming. Andrea and Samantha, especially, made sure that we always had what we needed. When we first arrived, the resort was very quiet, nearly empty. That was okay with me, but maybe a little too deserted. However, as the week went on, more people arrived, and the atmosphere was like one friendly family. The food was delicious! The menu was mostly set, with alternating 'specials', and since we'd been there a week, we tried nearly everything. The servers were courteous, responsive, and friendly. This place specializes in hosting divers and snorkelers, and since I was neither, I had some free time on my hands. I had a great time reading, while watching the ocean from our treehouse balcony. Also, I walked the resort grounds a couple of times, to take in all the interesting flowers, plants and trees. Our "treehouse" was really nice - perfectly decorated, with a huge gorgeous view of the ocean and dock. Bed was comfy. It was fun to me to see lizards: big and little, an agouti, butterflies, and hummingbirds. We took the creamery tour, after arranging it at the front desk, and had a personalized tour of their cow pen and cheese-making area, as well as a cheese tasting by the cheesemaker himself. (The cheese was very good). It was cool to me that they used many of their own ingredients in the food that they served: from herbs to some veges, and apparently cheese, too. I wish that the hilltop bar would have been open, because that looked like it would have been a cool place to hang out, and the view was incredible. My husband enjoyed great diving with really nice folks, and we spent a lot of time down there; including eating lunch, having drinks, and chilling out in the hammock facing the ocean. It's a bit far from everywhere else, including over a stretch of dirt road, but if you needed anything, you just ask. You can get a driver, or they'll take you out to get groceries (for a fee, but that's to be expected). I heard also that a celebrity has moved further down the road, and it may be that they pave the road in the future (they are working on it, though it looks like a slow-going project). There's so much more I could say about our time there. We took a beautiful sunset cruise on my birthday, had a surprise cake with dinner, I had delicious mixed drinks, and I kayaked a lot around the area with the kayaks on the dock. There was live music one evening, and just the friendliest dive team. I highly recommend this resort, and a huge, hearty thank you to the wonderful treatment we had while there! If (and when?) we return to Roatan, we will be back!
