Photos and Description of the Roatan vacation villa rental
3 bedrooms, 2 full baths

The exotic, architecturally designed Balinese homes are cool and quiet with wood floors that are like silk. The 9 foot louvered and screened sliders let in the tropical breezes, scents of frangipani, chirps of geckos at night and the songs of birds during the day.

To insure your comfort and living needs, Villa Serena is connected to an automated backup generator. It comes on automatically and does not make any noticeable noise in the villa or on the lanai. You may only notice it switching on due to a flicker of the lights. Villa Serena is well furnished for entertainment, cooking and easy living.

The drive to Palmetto is along the coast before getting to the more populated part of the island along the north shore. There is no need to compete with the cruise ship traffic on beaches or along mountain ridge line roads or drive through highly populated areas along narrow twisty roads.

For a great price you can stay where those who have unlimited choices and funds choose to stay. This very uniquely spacious and green resort like development is a destination for those who wish to experience all the beauty of the Western Caribbean.

The South Seas flavor of Palmetto Bay Plantation’s Balinese architecture adds unobtrusive artistry to the coastline it works to protect. Pristine coral reef just off shore from miles of secluded white sand beach is protected behind the gated road to the 150+ acres of meadows and gardens spaciously surrounding vacation and residential homes. Designers of the plantation have preserved the natural beauty of the bay while providing very inviting and comfortable accommodations and amenities.

The plantation is just a short boat ride within the reef from a public golf course, The Black Pearl. Additionally, the plantation hosts a National Geographic PADI dive operator, dock, pool, and restaurant along with outdoor activities.

Further details for this vacation villa rental in Roatan, Bay Islands Honduras

Villa Serena:

“My, this is much nicer than I expected. The photos do not do it justice”, is what I hear most frequently from guests when they first enter Villa Serena. It is truly serene. People ask how far away are the other homes? When they arrive they say “you don’t know that they are there’. Off the master suite is a meadow with large nut trees; all around the other sides of villa are Hibiscus, Frangipani, Night Jasmine, Banana Trees, Ginger, Fichus, and Traveler Palms.

The Balinese styling with the high vented ceilings; large, screened doors and louvered windows allow the Caribbean breezes to flow through the house keeping it cool and comfortable even in the summer. Fall asleep to the sounds of chirping geckos and wake to birds all the while breathing in fresh tropical air. Guests say that they feel very much at home and very relaxed and comfortable in our home. It is a Garden of Eden with a white sand beach where you can find serenity.

Palmetto Bay Plantation:

Places like this are rare in today’s world! Most any bay like this would be filled with high density condos setting at water’s edge. Palmetto’s developers strove to preserve the natural beauty by creating a low density resort with unobtrusive structures that frame the Caribbean experience. There remain broad stands of the islands indigenous taller palms. Dining at the restaurant is unlike dining anywhere else on Roatan. It enhances the tropical breezes and stars. The lush garden paths with arched bridges invite discovery by those of all ages. Coral reef is just off shore with kayaks provided. There is a large covered dock and swimming platform. There are flats for bone and fly fishing and shelling beaches. The on sight PADI dive operator offers snorkeling trips to the wreck out from Crawfish Rock. By July of 07 the resort should have its own generator functional.

Exact location may be seen via Google Earth satellite image on owners web site.

Activities:

Resort:

• Scuba diving & snorkeling

* Generator

• Dancing

• Fishing in the flats; off the dock and deep sea

Villa Serena Stay

Review Submitted: May 1, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We had a lovely time. Having been to several countries in Central America during which we rented homes, I have to say, this was the most comfortable and we loved Palmetto Bay Resort. We fit in with the ecologically friendly resort, and we loved the comfort of having our own house to go back to every evening after exploring Roatan or spending the day at the ocean. The walk to Palmetto Bay's restaurant/bar/pool is a mere minute and a half away. Beyond that is the beautiful beach. We had the best of both worlds, drinking coffee each morning on our deck while enjoying the flora and fauna (the hummingbirds were even more beautiful than in Maine). It is a vacation we'll remember for a long time!

Excellent alternative to hotel

Review Submitted: March 23, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
We stayed here with 3 twenty something children for a dive vacation. It was so much better than doing an all-inclusive package. The villa is ideally located, spacious, and well-equipped. It was wonderful to be able to come back, fix lunch, read on the porch or in the hammock. We loved the louvers on the windows and doors. It may be hot in summer but it was wonderful for us. We rented a truck so were able to get around easily, though the rutted road could be challenging for more timid drivers. We bought groceries and fresh fish in Coxen Hole and cooked almost all our meals. Kevin brought us extra water containers because we are all big water drinkers. We took our own DVDs and had family movie night several times, complete with microwave popcorn. There is not a lot to do right at Palmetto Bay if you are not diving but it is a great place just to relax and have a real vacation.

Owner's Response: We try to make all the surprises happy ones. Besides visiting our own vacation home, we are renters, as well.. Kevin and I and the Palmetto Plantation team continue in our efforts so that guests want to return. We always take the constructive input of our guests to heart. Linda Kay
