el Faro Roatan - Tower Restaurant Bar

Roatan, located between the islands of Utila and Guanaja and is the largest of Honduras Bay Islands. It is approximately 60 km long, and less than 8 km wide at its widest point. Located near the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean Sea (second largest worldwide after Australia's Great Barrier Reef), it has become an important cruise ship and scuba diving destination in Honduras. Tourism is its most important economic sector, though fishing is also an important source of income for islanders.

Britain, in its aggressive attempt to usurp the colonization of the Caribbean from the Spanish, occupied the Bay Islands on and off between 1550 and 1700. During this time, the buccaneers found the vacated, mostly unprotected islands a haven for safe harbor and transport. English, French and Dutch pirates established settlements on the islands and raided the cumbersome Spanish cargo vessels laden with gold and other treasures from the new world. The English buccaneer Henry Morgan established his base at Port Royal on Roatan in the mid-17th century; at that time as many as 5,000 pirates were living on the island.

Roatan welcomes people from all ages, as there are many fun things to do on the island, scuba diving, fishing, canopy tours, swimming with the dolphins, cave exploring, treasure hunting and much more. But after a sunny day, and doing all sort of activities, you want to treat yourself to the best cuisine and restaurants. One of the best spots for combining good food and amazing breathtaking and spectacular views is el Faro.
