6 Reviews of Property 355650 in Roatan, Bay Islands Honduras

I need to let you know that our group consisted of 6 people. Myself female age 54. Males ages 35, 29 and 25 females age 24 & 27. One being my son and 2 were daughters. We had a great time and shared much time together. We spent most of our time at the house outside enjoying the pool, snorkeling in the sea, kayaking, relaxing in the hammock,reading books, and talking in the comfortable outdoor furniture on the very large wrap around deck. Pictures don't even come close to what it really looks like!

Upon our arrival we were greeted by Kevin and Claire who make you feel so welcome and are a wealth of information. They helped us get our rental vehicle. I might suggest that if you are use to driving an automatic you might want to request that when you make your rental reservation. Many of the rental vechicles are manual. After getting our rental van they took us to the grocery store and then we followed them to our rental home.

The kitchen area is very accomodataing for large groups. Most of our meals were cooked at the house and we did buy fish and lobster from one of the local fishermen who will come to the house and ask if you want to buy any. Restaurants that either some or all of us went to were Frenchy's, Cals Cantina, Pineapple Grill and Gio Seafood. I would recommed them all. One of the highlights on our stay was having Clair arrange for a local woman and her daughter come to the house and make our meal,serve the meal, and do the dishes. It was DELICIOUS ! We also learned from them how a cocunt is cut, husked, and opened.

Two of the people in our group scuba dived and they were so impressed. Saw things that they had not seen before. I snorkeled 3 of the days walking straight out from the house.( I do suggest to wear water shoes for walking out) I even saw the reef wall which I had not experienced before. Take advantage of the days when the water is calm. We had a few days where the waves were a little to big for walking through the coral to snorkel.

We did do a fishing tour one day. 5:30 am - 2:30 we left from a dock about 300 yards from the house. We should have taken a few more light weight pieces of clothing that covered our arms and legs. There was no tarp or covering on the boat to stay out of the sun. We did use 50 proof sunscreen and we still all got sunburned. Besides the fishing we saw beautiful beaches and mainland from the waterside.

I suggest to take no cell phones and no computers. ENJOY!

This home was the perfect destination for a tropical vacation to disconnect from work and technology! When we arrived at the airport we where greeted by the property managers and they made sure our car rental was taken care of, they drove with us to show us around and then to the house. But they didn't stop there they where a wealth of information for where to visit, places to eat, and what to expect on the island. The view from the house was in a word beautiful! Scuba diving on the island was amazing, the worlds 2nd largest reef system around the island housed many wondrous sights. Snorkeling right out of the house when ever we wanted was great on calm days. But the best thing overall about staying at this location was just relaxing on the beach, in the hammock, in the pool, or on the deck. The weather was perfect for our stay, it was really tough to go back to ice and snow.

I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a beautiful tropical local to spend some quality time relaxing!

Wow! What A great place, The location was perfect. The house was just the right size for the seven of us. loved the pool. Right on the reef. The snorkeling we did everyday was wonderful. Claire and Kevin were the perfect hosts. Thanks for meeting us at the airport, and escorting us to the house!!!

We had a wonderful time in Roatan. I swear we drove down every road on that island! The house was wonderful. We spent alot of time reading books on the porch or on the beach. The kitchen was so well equipped that we fixed almost all meals right there. And if it wasn't raining we ate at the table on the porch. We took a kayak out on First Bight, and checked out Parrot Tree Plantation across the way. We went to Half Moon Beach in West End twice and did the South Shore canopy zipline tour. We found the meat market in French Harbour and got some nice steaks to cook on your big grill. We bought a bag of sugar and Linda whipped up some hummingbird juice and kept them feed all week. At night bats would drink from the feeders too!
We met some very nice people at the craft market in Coxen Hole. And we made friends with Penny who owns Serenity gift shop near French Harbour.
So thank you very much for letting us share your corner of paradise. Maybe we will be able to go there again some time.
