Carnival Cruise Line Unveils Enhanced Pool Area for Former Mahogany Bay

Carnival Cruise Line debuted a new pool and recreation area at its renamed Isla Tropicale private destination in Roatan. Formerly known as Mahogany Bay, the Isla Tropicale now boasts a 48,000-square-foot recreation area known as Mangrove Bay, which features an oversized pool, dedicated kids splash pad, swim-up bar, and adjacent bar service.

“Isla Tropicale marks another exciting investment in the largest group of exclusive cruise destinations, Paradise Collection by Carnival,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “New features, including the destination’s first pool area, will elevate the guest experience at Isla Tropicale. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Roatán and Honduras and expanding our positive economic impact in the region.”

The pool itself includes a peninsula lined with cabanas and loungers that create a premium space for guests, as well as poolside daybeds.

Isla Tropicale features two berths for Carnival’s Excel- and Vista-class ships, 52 shops, local artisan kiosks, three restaurants, four bars, a scenic chairlift, and oceanview cabanas. Since opening in 2009 as Mahogany Bay, the newly named Isla Tropicale has welcomed close to nine million visitors and generated $750 million in economic impact, supporting more than 1,300 local jobs.

Carnival has also revealed its new brand logo for Isla Tropicale.
