NEW YORK -- Continuing to add new destinations worldwide to its boutique hotel collection, Desires Hotels International has set its sights on the Blue Ocean Reef resort located on the island of Roatan. The hotel’s 17 luxury villas offer views of the pristine oceanfront and a white sand beach stretching over 2,500 feet in length. Situated in the lush landscape are spacious one, two, and three bedroom villas, complete with living room area, dining room, kitchen, and terraces. Rates vary by season and a one bedroom villa starts at $200 per night during low season and is $350 per night during peak season. Blue Ocean Reef resort is scheduled to open in late December 2009.
