La Placita Inn

La Placita Inn

10/10 Excellent
"All of the cooking at the restaurant at La Placita is so good, you'll wish you'd asked for a few of the recipes. As for lunch, if you take a break off the beach, absolutely the best cooking I've had in my ten two week trips to Roatan. The restaurant's included breakfast is by menu, with many excellent choices in a nice air-conditioned dining area with the most comfortable seating areas I've found in Roatan. Carlos will plant an umbrella so you can relax in the shade on a lounge when not relaxing in the sea. On your way back to your room, take a dip in the beautiful pool and relax on a covered bed. The entire staff at La Placita functions like a tight knit family, that quietly helps in any way you request. On my solo trips to La Placita, I've enjoyed getting to know the staff, and in my four visits in the last two years, the staff is the same. On my trips with family or friends, the staff was there to help when we needed it. Edward, the waiter in the restaurant is my goto for information and connection. Kemberley, who works the desk is my goto for arranging transport to and from the airport. La Placita is a secret in West Bay Beach that has been too good to share for four trips. As a person vulnerable to no-see-ums, La Placita leaves me bite free and that factor is huge. Don't get me started on the scuba or snorkeling near by."

"Great location, very close to the beach! Everything was clean, and the staff was always kind, friendly, and welcoming. If you’re interested in practicing freediving, the reef is only about a 5-minute walk away, which was perfect for us. As a vegan, I would have loved to see more plant-based protein options, but there was still a good variety of salads and fresh fruit to choose from. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back."
