Absolutely loved our stay at Caribe! We spent 7 nights in the Sirena Suite, with a decently equipped kitchen where we did prep several simple meals and coffee. The small Roa grocery store steps away offered the basics and we found several veggie stands around the island. The location of the hotel is great because everything is walking distance and you have views of the sea, but you’ve got privacy and a quiet hideaway here-including a restaurant with great Caribbean tacos and full swim up bar! The busy area is a 20 step stroll down the boardwalk- there you have a ton of restaurants, shops and beach vendors, tour operators and water taxis waiting. Ask Rene for advice because he will hook you up with great locals who can show you the highlights for a great deal. He and Cindy, and really all the staff, were great and made us feel at home. Our room was always clean and someone is constantly working on the hotel to improve it. Was it perfect-no. The bed and pillows were a little stiff and the place is a little outdated. It’s not the fanciest hotel in West Bay and would probably rank as a 3 or 4 star in the states, but it feels like home and was exactly what we were hoping for. We spent most evenings after dinner in the pool, and our friends who paid for a more expensive resort down the beach came to hang here most the time! Visit Roatan to meet the locals and eat Honduran foods and explore the reef and island-this place is just special and will make you feel like family.
