You get full board, and all gluten free options on the menus are clearly indicated. Other dietary considerations are also catered for. They have gluten free cereal and bread too, for breakfast and lunchtime sandwiches. All their kitchens have a dedicated toaster for gluten free bread. Some of the houses also have Dandelion Cafes, open to the public. One of their chefs is a finalist for Gluten Free Chef of the year! Check them out.

Upachaya located in Roatan, Honduras one of the Bay Islands in the Caribbean. They serve delectable goodies all gluten free, fresh and many of the ingredients are grown right on site. All the food is light and delicious, staff is incredibly friendly, and I can't even describe how wonderful the environment with the azure waters, the peaceful gardens and the awesome pool/bar.
