Cozy property in a prime location in West End. The staff was so helpful and the property size (small) was great. It has such a peaceful charm to it, set back slightly amongst the thick foliage but close enough to hear the waves from the beach. I will choose this hotel when I return for future stays. I felt at home immediately.

This was our kind of place to stay and was what we expected. Our room was basic and could use updating, but that's not important to us. We had a few rainy days and sitting on the porch was fabulous! The location was perfect, with a parking space for our rental. We loved walking to the other end of West end, and also just walking across the street to great snorkeling and the beach. We didn't have much interaction with the staff, but we always came back at the end of the day with a clean place! We had one amazing meal at the Argentinian Grill - highly recommend!

An excellent one-week stay. Friendly quick check-in. My room was on the 2nd floor in the building just behind the restaurant. Close enough to hear the waves but no traffic noise from the street. Very large clean room with a comfy bed. Equipped with a refrigerator. They also provided a coffee maker upon request. Two ceiling fans and A/C ensured it was very comfy even during the humid rainy days. Tons of hot water in the shower and ample towels. Cozy deck space with hammock for afternoon naps and a very friendly cat who insisted on napping in my lap. Wifi service was very reliable from my room. The only negative point was the electrical outlets. A couple were very old and would not tightly grasp the prongs of my tablet charger. Otherwise , an excellent stay.

Overpriced and poor service
Not a great experience at all. The towels had sharp burrs in them and the staff was shocked we would complain about such a thing. The sheets were dirty and may have had blood stains. The WiFi network provided wasn't available in the room we stayed in even though it's posted in the room. When we mentioned that they told us to connect to the attached restaurant WiFi because that original network never reaches that room. When we did so, that other network didn't work either. After being met with only rudeness the manager finally was apologetic and gave us free breakfast at the attached restaurant, which we appreciate. Of course, when we went to redeem, the restaurant had no idea. Location is convenient if you want to be at the west end, but otherwise good to skip this one.

It was a very challenging guest from the moment he checked in. He came to the office with a towel, complaining that a really tiny piece of the plant was stuck to it. Considering the hotel is nestled in a tropical garden and is advertised as such, incidents like this might happen, although they had never occurred before. We apologized and promptly replaced the towel. However, he remained rude and displayed an authoritative demeanor, demanding 20 in compensation. We refused to give him the 20, so he threatened to write a negative review. We acknowledged that everyone is entitled to their opinion and agreed to his decision. We've noticed that some people believe that by threatening with a bad review, they can obtain whatever they desire from the hotel. That marked the end of our conversation—or so we thought. To our surprise, he continued to complain later that afternoon, returning to the office with an even worse attitude. He complained about the sheets and threw them at the hotel staff. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the Wi-Fi not working properly, all while displaying a lack of respect towards the staff. Eventually, in an effort to resolve the unpleasant situation, we gave in and offered him a free breakfast. We were greatly relieved when he finally left.

We have been going to Roatan for years. We used to stay in West Bay, but have outgrown the hustle and bustle. We love this little oasis. May God bless Karolina. She is very prompt and courteous on replying to any question. If you like quite, quaint and walkability to everything, this is your kind of place.

Love the wood floors. Windows that block sound even if it is St. Patrick's Day and the bars are hopping. Walk to food, shopping, stores, the beach, or to the catch a cab. Outdoor shower for washing off the sand and salt. And a bottle of cold drinking water in the fridge to get me off to a good start.

Great location. Beautiful interior design and the room was clean! The only unfortunate event was that I did not take one hot shower the entire stay. Not to mention, the water was shut off completely right before I had to head to the airport which was inconvenient. The fixed the issue within 15 mins or so, but the shower was still cold.

Loved the location nice beach out front and the happy hour drink deck was amazing. They staff was super friendly, they would even bring our drinks or meals right to the beach. The food at the restaurant was very tasty. One thing I would change is a better pillow and bed wasn't the comfiest but who cares when your at a place like that.

The check in and the service were excellent, everyone was super helpful and sweet, staff did a great job cleaning. The room we stayed at would greatly benefit from shelves, hooks, even chairs. No surfaces to put your stuff. Also, when I booked, room description listed a coffee maker, that was not present, and one bed, which for some reason turned out to be two beds. So, the description of a standard room on hotels.com needs to be updated.

Stayed in "Family Apartment, 1 Bedroom, Kitchen, Beachfront" for 4 nights for business. The property itself is beachfront but the room I was in wasn't - the patio is facing the direction of the water, that's it, so don't expect this beautiful water view. As suggested in the pictures, there are only staircases and the receptionist is not really willing to help with the luggage, so expect to bring your things up on your own. There were no guests in the room next door during the first 3 nights but in the last night there was a family with a small kid and it got really really noisy. Up to that point, I had not realized how thin the walls were - everywhere in the apartment! The neighborhood is everything I had expected - restaurants, bars, supermarket, etc.
