Waves of Art Gift Shop is located in West End Village on Roatan Island in Honduras. Roatan is just one of the islands that make up the beautiful group of Bay Islands in Honduras. It's brightly painted facade stands out along the beachside town and is a visual temptation for shoppers, tourists and cruiseship tours. Regularly scheduled Art shows and Art Exhibitions offer the Roatan community and local residents an opportunity to see what island artists are creating. Unique and affordable gifts include a variety of folk art and hand made items that support fair trade organizations, eco-sustainable products and local artisan coops. Most of the beautiful items for sale are made in Honduras and Central America. Waves of Art Gallery and Gift Shop offers tourists and cruiseshippers an opportunity to find that special gift, support a local artist and shop in an air conditioned space.

I have a 'beach house' theme in my home, and a deep love for all things ocean and marine life, so the fine art triptychs (trilogies of waves and such) and gallery quality giclee prints (tropical fruit, flora, people, boats, Caribe scenes) made this a haven. From driftwood dolphin creations (need to go back and order that one for my brother's Roatan house) to unique, hand-painted dolphin bookmarks which I brought back for our Reading Partners/Americorps kids, they have a two-story collection of curated wearables and artisan finds. Beautifully presented and good cross-section of categories that appeal to a diverse range of wallets... ;)

Nice beach, protected swimming/snorkeling area and access to may dive boats and fishing charters as well as several beach bars. Certainly a busy beach especially on cruise ship days. We preferred the beaches further west on the strip but that was mostly because they were closer to our accommodation.

Handmade chocolates development from the cocoa bean to the bar. We do the whole process with 100% Honduran cocoa. Promoting culture!

Friendly staff gave us a lesson on chocolate from bean to bar. Very interesting and the samples at the end were a nice touch.

We're a local, small-scale chocolate company in Roatan, Honduras, founded in 2010. Our primary mission is to create the finest chocolate in Central America, and obviously THE WORLD!, while also giving back to the local indigenous communities and protect the rainforest where our cacao comes from. Our main location, on West End, Roatan is the home of our factory, bakery and our coffeeshop. We also have two small chocolate kiosks in Roatan, one on each of the cruise ports. Visit us to learn more about our rare cacao beans, protecting the rainforest, the chocolate making process, the health benefits of cacao, the birth of chocolate and of course to try our delicious jaguar friendly chocolate.

This was a great stop. We learned how this company makes chocolate! We tried cocoa beans, and rubbed chocolate on our skin to feel how healing it can be. You always hear the power of chocolate but today we learned it’s not the chocolate bars from the local grocer that’s healthy! We bought 5 bars of chocolate and savouring everyone! The cookies were also yummy!!!
