They do things differently in the Caribbean and especially on Roatan Island! Anthony’s Key Resort brings guests an entire Caribbean Island experience. This is not the typical Caribbean night you may have seen, it is the Caribbean Honduras-style! Their Caribbean Night’s Garifuna Show and Fire Dance IS the most exciting I have seen in all my visits to the Caribbean!

We took Anthony’s free boat taxi for the five minute ride to Key Island to attend their Caribbean Night event. The picnic tables were located under the stars with only flaming torches lighting the way. This is a great time to meet all of Anthony Key Resort’s guests.

Everyone reached for their Happy Hour tropical drinks. This was an evening of island music, extraordinary dancing, a feast of food, and fun! We chose from an all-you-can-eat buffet of island and American favorites. I have never entered a crab race and wondered which of the crabs I should choose. After the crabs ran around frantically, a few guests were awarded prizes for their winning crabs.

Finally the drum beats raised to a frantic pace as a male and female dancer entered with flaming torches. They each took turns twirling a flaming torch as easily as if it were a baton in a parade. But the act reached beyond the ordinary and became an extraordinary daringly dangerous dance of fire! We were thrilled with each movement as the flaming torches created a frenzy of designs in the night sky. I have seen fire dancers in Tahiti, Hawaii and Caribbean, but this is different!

For the real flavor of the Caribbean, the native black Garifunas performed their folkloric dances while dressed in traditional colorful costumes. These emotional songs tell the stories of the people and their lives and were handed down over the years. The musicians played the drums, maracas, a conch shell, claves, and other island instruments. The Garifuna live along the Caribbean Coast in Belize, Nicaragua and Honduras. Later the guests competed in a Limbo dance contest. This was a night to remember!

Where is Roatan? Roatan is a Caribbean island about 35 to 40 miles off the north coast of Honduras. It is the largest island at about 30 miles long and from one to three miles wide. Domestic air service from the Honduran mainland to Roatan is provided by Islena Airlines, associated with TACA Airlines. With three inter-island airlines, we found this the best.
