Seaislegal,
We are in the same boat as you. We went to A/C last year and
loved it, but were looking for something new this year. I have found the following website helpful (but not nearly as much as this message board).
Roatanet It is a clearing house for Roatan resorts, restaurants, etc.
We can't decide between the small cabanas of Banarama, or the more deluxe digs at Island Paradise.
Keep us posted on what your research turns up.
