Has anyone stayed at Paya Bay Resort in Roatan, Honduras, during a Naturist Week? If so what can you tell us about the place as a nudist resort during that time. Their website says you can be nude everywhere except certain designated common areas during the Naturist Weeks. Is this really true? I hate to go to a place where I think we can be nude, and be given stern glances, or worse, lectures! I am thinking of this resort as a replacement for "N" in Jamaica, now that it is closed.

We have been to Paya Bay twice, both during naturist weeks. I was pretty much nude all of the time other than around the restaurant, where I usually just wore a sarong. It's common for people to be nude there, so you won't get anything negative from the staff. But, they have been trying to build a local following for the bar, which is on the nude beach, and that is bringing in a lot of textiles. They don't seem to gawk and know what to expect, but it didn't always feel like a naturist resort.
I can't say that I would recommend Paya Bay, though. Our first trip we had a nice time and the trip to Pigeon Cay was a real highlight. But, we got sick on the trip and had to take Cipro when we got home to clear it up. It took a few years before we decided to try again and our second trip was a bit of a bust. We were prepared in case of the stomach trouble this time. We avoided dairy products and anything that might have been washed, but still caught it. We did have pills we got in advance that cleared it up. We got eaten alive by sand flies, in spike of lots of Deep Wood Off. I don't know why this was not a problem our first trip, but was our second. The worst thing was that we felt we were treated as second-class guests the second trip due to low occupancy. It was low the first time, but this time the promised Pigeon Cay trip never happened, the local entertainers never happened, and they just didn't seem to care as much. We won't be back.

That is exactly the wrong attitude. If the textiles are fine with you, you should be fine with them. This is the only way C/O places will survive. Forcing them to be nude mandatory will force them out of business and further reduce our already depleted options in the Caribbean.

Wow. Who said anything about forcing people to be nude. Where did you get that? My point and the point of others is that PB should be clear about what "naturist week" really means (or doesant mean) so they can make a informed choice on whether to visit or not visit- based on their persoanal comfort zone.

This is the main issue with PB, they try to be all to all and the process tend to be inconsiderate to their guests and reason their guests are there. We had a couple of similar situations while we were there last May (photo shoot with the crews families, w/kids on bliss to name one)with total disregard of us. Maybe if the manager was more interested in seeing to his guest satisfaction instead blogging about nirvana, they could get it right...will we go back??? maybe, but not anytime soon!!
