Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort

Infinity Bay is one of the poshest resorts in West Bay. The resort opened in 2007 and its marble-floored, double-high ceilinged lobby is dark despite the brass chandeliers and recessed lights. The hotel is setup like a horseshoe with guest-room buildings framing a meticulously manicured grassy field (used for events and weddings) and a huge freshwater infinity pool with ocean views and lots of lounge chairs. There are also a few tables with umbrellas. The hotel’s beautiful beach has lots of lounge chairs, but often fills up with cruise ship day trippers who pay for day passes to the resort. (The entire West Bay Beach, not just at Infinity Bay, gets pretty overrun with people and vendors on cruise ship days). It’s also a short swim to the off-shore reef for amazing snorkeling (or shore dives). We heard reports that the live music at the beachfront bar/restaurant can get loud, but in general the resort’s vibe is relaxed and tranquil. Infinity Bay attracts mostly Canadian couples, but also draws a few people from the United States and Central America. It's not a family-focused resort, but families are a common sight.  

Infinity Bay is located near the end of West Bay, a gorgeous white sand beach with a snorkeling and diving reef 30-feet from the shoreline. A five-minute walk from the resort is a small pharmacy, mini-market, cigar shop, and an ATM. Restaurants and bars line the beach near the resort and serve international, Italian, Honduran, and Argentinian cuisines (all within a five- to 10-minute walk away). West End, the island’s nightlife and dining hub full of restaurants, bars, dive shops, and souvenir shops, is a 12-minute drive. The island’s commercial heart, Coxen Hole, has supermarkets, restaurants, and the cruise terminal; it's a 27-minute drive away. There’s an 18-hole golf course on the other side of the island that’s a 51-minute drive from Infinity Bay. The ferry to Utila, the nearby Honduran barrier island with amazing diving, is a 15-minute drive followed by a 40-minute boat ride. The jetty for ferries to La Ceiba on the Honduran mainland is a 40-minute drive followed by an hour-and 15-minute ferry. Juan Manuel Galvez International Airport is about a half-hour drive from the resort. 

Rooms at Infinity bay are a mix of air-conditioned one-, two-, or three-bedroom villas and studio apartments. All units are individually owned and managed by the resort and a bit different from each other. That said, the villas are the choicest option with multiple balconies, full kitchens with GE stainless-steel appliances, coffeemakers with free coffee, blenders, and colorful Fiestaware dishes. Furniture is tropically inspired and neutral toned, made with a mix of materials like bamboo, hardwoods, and glass. Expect plush couches or love seats, sofa beds, spotty free Wi-Fi, safes, ironing equipment, and flat-screen TVs with cable channels. Rooms have either one king bed or two queen-size beds with hardwood headboards and carved palm tree accents. The apartments are more basic rooms with kitchenettes, microwaves, and some balconies. All bathrooms have granite counters and marble walls with glass-brick stand-up showers. Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, bar soap, and hairdryers are included with all rooms. Views range from garden to pool or ocean. 

Infinity Bay's features focus on providing guests with a fun and convenient beach vacation. It has access to the beautiful West Bay Beach, it’s located near the end of the bay and a one-minute off-shore swim to amazing snorkeling. The palm-lined beach has lots of shade (thanks to all of the tall palm trees), lounge chairs, and umbrellas. The resort’s huge freshwater infinity pool is next to the beach and has waterfalls, lots of lounge chairs, a walk-up pool bar, and most importantly, great ocean views. 

Infinity Divers is the resort’s full-service SSI Diamond dive shop, offering dive courses ranging from introductory to Dive Master and a variety of night, shore, and reef dives. It also rents snorkeling equipment for a fee. Seahorse Lounge and Casino is a small casino with slot machines decorated with Las Vegas-themed posters located next to the lobby. It also has a bar and pool table overlooking the resort’s grassy courtyard. International Buffet is Infinity Bay’s buffet restaurant (and where free breakfasts are served) and a huge balcony that overlooks the resort, pool, and ocean. It has live stations and themed dinners. La Palapa (named after its thatch-roof) is an oceanfront restaurant and sushi bar with live music on the weekends, fire shows, sand sculptures, and a popular Sunday brunch. The small beachfront Tiki Bar -- more a stand than a bar -- serves drinks when the resort is full. All-inclusive packages are available. The casino has slot machines. 

Tranquility Spa is the resort’s full-service spa for an on-site chiropractor, plus it has a menu of massages, manicures, pedicures, and a beauty salon. There’s a free business center with multiple computers and free printing next to a book library. Wi-Fi is free throughout the resort. The resort’s dedicated activity desk can arrange tours, excursions, water sports like parasailing, fishing trips (the restaurant will prepare catch for free), car rentals, and personalized tours. A nice touch is the grocery provisioning service to take advantage of rooms full kitchens (for a fee). Infinity Bay has a generator for uninterrupted 24-hour power and there’s also an on-site ATM. Hotel freebies include a welcome cocktail for guests arriving on Saturdays, a five-minute massage for arriving guests, kayak rentals, parking, airport or ferry transfers, and if it’s your birthday, a free birthday cake.
