Date of Stay: November 2008
My wife and I had the pleasure to stay at this house in mid-November 2008.
The house is brand new and situated on a hill that overlooks a drop-dead gorgeous view of the ocean and a quiet, protected bay. We spent a lot of our time here on the patio which overlooks the ocean and is also where the pool and hot tub are located.
The owner did not spare any expense in building, designing and outfitting the home. Every amenity that you could need or even think of has been provided for.
There are 3 "Master" bedrooms and two smaller bed rooms. Every bedroom has it's own bathroom, which are all nicely appointed. (Even the bed linens and bath towels are top notch.......I even considered absconding with one of the bath towels, but it was so thick and fluffy, it would't fit in my suitcase :) ) We had the opportunity to stay in the first floor Master Bedroom, which was very cozy. There is even a huge walk-in closet with mahagany shelving, which allows for plenty of storage space.
Although we didn't turn the TV on the entire time we were there, the house has full satellite TV, as well as High Speed Internet. The entertainment system is state of the art with the capability of blasting your music while you are in the pool!
The kitchen is also well appointed; beautiful custom cabinetry, granite countertops and well-equiped.........we put it to full use and found it to not be lacking for anything.
For those that are looking for activities, there is plenty to do; The Jet Ski was a blast (we had the water to ourselves), there is also Kyaks, a Wind Surfer, Snorkeling Gear, Etc. (The owner informed us that he is looking at purchasing a boat.........nice!)
As for Roatan itself, this was the first time my wife and I had visited. It is known primarily as a Diving destination, as it is surrounded by the world's second largest Coral Reef. However, we were there for a week and didn't dive. (the fact that I don't know how might have something to do about that) The point is there is plenty to do on the island, but in my opinion why would you want to leave this ocean-front, tropical oasis?
As the house is brand new and just opened for business, the beach is still a work in progress. Even Honduras has strict environmental standards as it pertains to their beaches, so the owner informed us that he is working with the local officials to make it into a "sandy beach".
Vista Verde is highly recommended; in fact we are planning our return visit!
Owner's Response: Dear Scott,
Thank you for staying at Casa Vista Verde! We're pleased you enjoyed the property and your stay on Roatan, and happy to hear you're considering a return.
We apologize for the debris on the beach-most was a byproduct of recent storms, and has been cleaned as of this posting.
We appreciate your leaving us our full complement of towels, and upon your return we'd be more than happy to arrange dive instruction/certification for you on site!
Regards,
Casa Vista Verde Management
