Hamaca chillout station. Paya Bay Resort, Roatan, Bay Islands of Honduras.

blissful sunday afternoon

There's little doubt which Paya Bay chillout station is the dogs' favorite. New puppy, Chestnut, had an especially fun time yesterday playing in the tidal pool as I spent quality time with two friends.

new chillout stations

"Chillout Stations" are specials spots we've identified around the property that have either fantastic views or superb natural beauty (all locations -- so far -- have both). The Rock Island project has resulted in the creation of two new chillout stations. These stations are numbers "10" and "11."

Station #10 - A hamaca station located above a shallow, seawater-covered sand bar next to Rock Island. When the tide is high, one sees tiny, juvenile fish and crabs swimming in the crystal-clear water under the hammocks. Fantastic!

Station #11 - Located on Rock Island, this station is very private with gorgeous nature surrounding it. In addition to beautiful views, this station features very comfortable 'vertical' hammocks, along with its own access to a private sea pool nestled among the rocks...

lil bay beach hamacas

Guests enjoy the new hamacas we've hung in the sea palm grove directly behind Lil Bay Beach. Nicely shaded by the palms, they are a perfect place to relax, enjoy the sea breeze, listen to your favorite tunes on your iPod, and/or read a book.
