We are not resort people; we like to find comfortable places that are quiet, scenic, relaxing with a local vibe, and safe. Puerta Azul was perfect for us and Talia and Darci were perfect hosts. The bungalows are adorable and so very clean, the grounds well kept and lovely, and the food was fantastic and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the central location and getting around the island from there was very easy without a rental car. This place is small enough that you have the opportunity to meet and visit with the other guests and we enjoyed that as well. Some of the best snorkeling we experienced was a short kayak ride away from our front door and we also saw some amazing sunsets from the dock almost every night. We'll be back - we loved it. Thank you Talia and Darci, and hello to Samson and Agusta!

What can you say about this bungalow. It was amazing. It was modern, super clean, super quite and right on the beach. The hosts Talia and Darci where just incredibly warm and very attentive to my needs. I can tell you I fell in love with their place. The room was very spacious with its own bathroom. Everything is brand new and with high end finishes. The rooms have A/C which is an absolute necessity in Roatan. All windows are screened in so there is no need to sleep with a mosquito net around your bed. Talia and Darci make incredible breakfast, Lunch and Dinner should you wish to eat in. They are also conveniently located to make restaurants, and activities around the island. Truly an incredible place and an incredible find for me. If they wanted a permanent resident and asked me I would have said yes. I will definitely be returning to Roatan and to Talia and Darci's heavenly Oceanfront Bungalows.

Puerta Azul is the perfect get away. Very quiet and secluded but a short taxi ride from West End & West Bay. Bungalow was comfortable. There were a couple days we just stayed in and snorkeled and swam at the private pier. Had a very relaxing time.

Wonderful beautiful place

Very friendly & comfortable atmosphere. Nice quiet spot on the beach away from the tourist areas.

We had a one night stay at this romantic sweet Sandy Bay location. The bungalows are thoughtfully situated on a beautiful tropical oasis. Our hosts, Talia and Darci are warm, gracious and friendly. Our room had a very comfortable bed and thoughtful details like bug repellant and a mosquito coil to burn while enjoying the front porch of our bungalow . There is a long dock with a swim/ snorkel area at the end that has a swim ladder for ease of entry. A refrigerator is situated at the main house in a common kitchen that is for the use of guests. Wished my visit was longer. I would definitely return. Eileene Tornatore

Puerta Azul was all that we were expecting. Located only a five minute drive from restaurants, shopping, and bars, this BnB offers a quiet and private place to stay. The ocean front bungalows were very quaint and clean. There is a night guard that provides security since all the beaches on Roatan are considered public. Breakfast, which is included, was delicious and consisted of fresh, local foods. You can also request lunch or dinner. We had dinner and it was one of the most delicious meals on the island (lobster cooked to perfection). There is also a communal kitchen if you like to cook for yourself. Snorkeling off the dock is amazing and you get to see all sorts of marine life. You also are able to book fishing and snorkeling trips with the hosts that are less expensive than other companies on the island. The hosts are very flexible and will help you book activities. It was definitely the relaxing vacation we were looking for!

PUERTA AZUL es un hermoso lugar para hospedarse y sentirse como en casa.... pero en el paraíso! La recepción de Thalia y Darcy es cálida y espléndida dándote un recorrido por las instalaciones y así pronto estas cómodo. Tienen cocina para huéspedes muy útil. Un área común para el desayuno y por cierto muy delicioso! Darcy es el chef. La playa es tranquila y al pasar la PUERTA AZUL el muelle invita a una estadía relajante y nadar en esas aguas turquesas y tranquilas te llenan de energía positiva. La habitación es muy cómoda y un diseño exquisito en cada detalle! La cama, el baño, todo impecable y todo perfecto, las fotos son la realidad! Las dudas que tuvimos respecto a lugares, como movilizarnos, donde ir, siempre nos orientaron y brindaron respuestas. En resumen expectativa superada

Overall a nice and updated place to stay. Owners and concierge were good to work with.

Private and relaxing place shaded by palm trees and foliage from the sun. Amazing private dock for morning coffee and evening sunsets. Good snorkeling a short swim away. A couple of resorts with restaurants a couple of minutes away but the actual location is quiet and very private. Wake up to tropical birds (and a rooster or two). The beach house is spacious and the kitchen is well appointed for making meals in. We would gladly stay again!

Angela, the landlord of the bungalow, was great and prompt in answering all questions as well as arranging for someone to meet us at the airport at our request. The photos were accurate and the location couldn't have been better. It is located next to an upscale residence by the name Lawson Rock. The bungalow style home is surround by beautiful, lushes palm trees and a lovely walkway leading to the dock with stairs leading into the water for immediate snorkeling, and diving access. We are very laid back people with a love for a country like living. There were beautiful sounds of birds all around the premises, and a distant sound of a rooster in the morning hours. We were introduced to the neighboring dogs that made us feel secure. The surrounding neighbors were friendly and we felt welcomed. Our 9 year old son made friends with the neighboring children and enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking with them. There was an fitness instructor that came to the dock and a group of ladies came together for a workout session. The calm winds cooled us off as the sound of the ocean relaxed us! The fitness instructor is also a massage therapist and is available to provide a massage on the dock! The location is perfect, for it is 10 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from Eldon's grocery store and centrally located to many tourists attractions. There is a local Christian orphanage that I would recommend visiting, and supporting as well as getting together with Trudy, a local professional, and providing groceries to the families less fortunate. This bungalow was ideal for us and we would rent it again.

Great spot

Great place and lovely host

Beautiful, modern, comfortable and with a great location in West End. You get to have a quiet place but still be able to enjoy the beach and night life with just a few minutes walk. Jenny was a very kind host, we appreciated her hospitality.

This was my second trip to Roatan, the first time staying at a hotel. Staying with Jenny this time was head and shoulders above that experience, and I can't wait to stay with her again. I can't describe strongly enough what a great hostess and great friend Jenny is. Add in her wonderful home, and it was a truly fabulous week, I only wish I could have stayed longer. You can't go wrong choosing Jenny's home for a wonderful vacation!

We had a great time staying here and getting to know Jenny. She was very accommodating and arranged a fishing trip with her local friends which was the highlight of the visit. She also arranged our pick up at the airport for the same price as a regular taxi.

Jenny is the kind of person that makes me keep going back to AIRBNB for accommodations. My wife and I made a last minute reservation for a week stay in Roatan and Jenny was very friendly and flexible. Her warm welcoming and smile made us feel right at home from the second we arrived. She is very laid back and a happy Canadian who found her paradise. Why should you stay here? The location is perfect! You are steps away from many restaurants/bars, convenience stores, and water taxis. You can walk to Half Moon Bay and snorkel at the point. West Bay is accessable by walking the beach or you can take a water taxi for $3. The sunsets in the area are breathtaking. If you are considering a trip to Roatan, we highly recommend staying with Jenny. Her place is all around beautiful. She has a hammock, a stunning pool, great staff and security, a comfortable bed, and you basically get an entire floor to yourself. We originally were looking for an entire place, but we couldn't resist Jenny's and we are thankful that she accommodated us. Go to Roatan and stay with Jenny!

Absolutely loved my stay with Jenny in the West End! My vacation was perfect, and Jenny was an awesome host. I really could not have asked for anything more. Thanks again!

Jenny was awesome from the minute I found her listing answering all my questions within hours to check out. She met us at the airport and told us everything to do during our stay. It was like staying with a friend! It was our first time not renting a whole unit and I was leary of how it would go. I would 100% recommend booking here. The location was walking distance to all the restaurants and shops and beaches in west end. It's was totally safe and very inexpensive. I would definitely suggest staying here to get the local living vibe and then hitting west bay for the best beaches. For the price we paid I was very happy. Thanks Jenny for a great stay! We hope to be back soon

Jenny communicated well and very quickly. The room was as described. I only crashed for one night, but would gladly have stayed longer .

Upon arriving to the premises it was just as I saw in the pictures. The views and the surroundings was just so calm and relaxing. Lisa was very helpful and very informative about what we can do in the area.

This place was better than the pictures and the pool was wonderful as well!! This is in the perfect location that it's nice and quiet but also very close to anything you want to do. Lisa and Esteban were both WONDERFUL and could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. They ensured we had an excellent week and we are sad to be leaving!! Can't wait to come back :)

Lisa is the perfect hostess. She is efficient and very helpful. The house is beautifully decorated, the kitchen is fully stocked, the house is impeccable. This is my 2nd stay in this home and I highly recommend it. The view us amazing. It is very quiet. It's a little ways off the road so I would recommend renting a car or scooter. Lisa can help with anything. I loved my stay and I love Roatan. Thank you Lisa!

The space is very nicely furnished, and the view from the top balcony can't be beat! It's not baby friendly, but if you bring your own gear (playpen, feeding chair) you can make it work. Watch for the spaces in between the pillars on the balcony and the steep stairs for toddlers. The neighbourhood is quiet and the beach is fun to relax at - the water is great. However, if you're looking for grocery stores, restaurants or shops there is NOTHING close by. You have to walk to the main road and take a bus or taxi everywhere - walking along the ditch is sketchy. If you want to relax in the quiet, this is the place for you. If you need even a little bit of action, be prepared to have to go out and have to look for it in the towns. Overall, it was a great stay, but for the money, I'm not sure it's entirely worth it. For convenience of location for supplies, or a little bit of liveliness, you have to either pay for rides or rent a car. As well, paying for electricity at the end of the trip is a killer - super expensive when we only used the AC in the baby's room at night....a bit of a budget blower for a quiet vacation.

Luego de pasar unos días en la casa de Lisa en Roatan, a toda la familia nos quedó una enorme satisfacción por la cortesía de Lisa en explicarnos sobre la casa, su funcionamiento y normas de la casa, las que consideramos correctas. Además que el lugar es hermoso, en la playa de enfrente de la casa encontramos estrellas marinas vivas (y por cierto allí las dejamos). El lugar era exactamente como nos lo explicaba en las fotos, incluyendo su piscina. En su casa encontramos muchas cosas que podíamos usar, y creemos que las que usamos, lo hicimos apropiadamente. Nos sentimos realmente como en casa, pudimos entrar y salir todo el tiempo sin ninguna molestia, asi que de verdad recomiendo una estadía allí, y además nos obsequió un coktail de bienvenida en el restaurante Beach Grill, que por cierto estaba a pocas cuadras de la casa y es un lugar recomendable. Sandy Bay es un hermoso lugar, lo recomiendo ampliamente con toda la familia. German.

Lisa was wonderful. She replied immediately and answered all of my questions. She was ready for me when I got there and showed me everything I needed to know. The house was above and beyond my expectations. It is decorated very nicely, the kitchen is stocked perfectly, there is A/C throughout the house, the view of the ocean is amazing, there is a dock steps away from the house, it has a pool, laundry and it's very quiet there. I was alone and I felt very safe. I was so impressed with how big, clean and tastefully decorated it was. Most island houses are decorated in dark mahogany, loud prints, uncomfortable furniture and crazy colored walls. This was perfect. I live on the mainland and visit Roatan frequently. I will be staying there in the future. Very reasonably priced for how big it is. I had a wonderful stay.

Lisa was very attentive and full of great information about the island. The pictures of the house don't do it justice. It has gorgeous interior design and we loved the place. The whole experience was better than I expected. The only caution is that it is not baby proof because of the stairs, some sharp edges on furniture and space between balcony railing. But we were very careful with our 11 month old and it was fine.

Lisa was a wonderful host, the place is nicer than you can see in the pictures. The neighbours were very kind. Definetely we will choose this place to stay again. Thanks lisa for all your kindness and hosptality.

Talia, Darci and the entire crew were perfect along with the casita on the beach. The tasty and well presented breakfast and welcome faces in the morning were a great way to start every day. The housekeepers changed the linens and cleaned the casita everyday. The casitas are just a few steps from the beach but still surrounded by palm trees and beautiful plants with a perfect view of the beach and sea. We either went out on the pier to take in the incredible view, sat and read on the porch in the chairs or hammock, used the snorkel gear and kyaks to go out to the reef and see the beautiful coral and fish or went to town to see the shops, bars and restaurants. Travel anywhere on Roatan is easy in the busses, taxis or rented cars which Talia will set up for you at low low prices. We bought a fresh fish we were going to cook but Talia and Darci cooked if for us and we had them join us for dinner to get to know them better which was one of the great memories of our trip. We will absolutely go to Roatan again and stay with Talia. Being that we are also hosts, we are probably pickier than most guests but we honestly can't say one bad word about this place to stay.

Talia was great! Very accommodating and helpful. Her place is beautiful and perfect for a getaway spot that you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

We truly enjoyed our time at Puerta Azul. Talia and Darcy were great hosts and were always willing to answer our questions. We enjoyed our private bungalow with the ocean view. The bungalow was very clean and modern. The snorkeling off the dock was amazing. We enjoyed our vacation in Roatan and we will be staying at Puerta Azul again!

If you want a quiet, secluded place to stay on a tropical island, this is your place. If you want bars and glitz, stay somewhere else. You can take a cab to the bars and restaurant if you like or ask Talia and Darci to make you wonderful dinner right there.

The host canceled this reservation 115 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Puerto Azul was incredible! Talia and Darcy were such wonderful hosts and great cooks! They offer a unique Airbnb experience in the sense that it's a bed and breakfast model. The bungalow we stayed in was beautiful, clean, well decorated and cozy. I would recommend their spot to any and all! Thank you for the great experience:)

Great place to stay, it is very closed to all island places!! Talia and Darcy were very good hosts!! The bungalow was very comfortable and we had plenty of room!! The dock was so great and unique with a blue door!! Thanks guys!!

We had such a nice time. Talia and her team were super nice, efficient, welcoming, and prepared. The guest bungalows are well appointed, guest friendly, and cozy. They are also spacious and organized and very clean. There is great AC and lighting to fit all kinds of comfort. You can tell the bungalows were very well thought out. We enjoyed relaxing out on our deck while watching the ocean and of course vacation napping. The beach was only steps away and lounge chairs were provided. Breakfast was served at 8 and we were welcomed every morning on the main deck with smiles and coffee. They provided dinner as an option and we enjoyed taking her up on that offer for the night of my boyfriends birthday. She even made cupcakes for him w candles. As we went up stairs for breakfast; the house keeper cleaned our room and provided fresh towels every morning. Once we returned after breakfast, everything was done. Talia was very helpful and always willing to interact and answer any questions or just chat. As an owner of a B&B; I know how busy she can be. They had a nice guest kitchen for groceries or left overs for us guests to use and every amenity needed for a stay on a beautiful beach. The dock was amazing and the seating area, Hammock, and steps down to the ocean are perfect. You can snorkel right there. We would highly recommend a stay at this little piece of paradise.

Well what can I say...Luis was amazing! His attention to detail was beyond above expectations. Of all the airbnb rentals I have done this one was the BEST! He had wine opener, to matches full kitchen gadgets, nice stove which I Used everyday I was there, a water dispenser amazing, and a replacement 5 gal jug. Super clean and put together now don't get it twisted this is not the Ritz and in a good (URL HIDDEN) a rustic cabin on the beach with a hammock. Don't expect a hotel room because is not is so much more it felt like a home away from home. When you wake up to an ocean view without having to get out of your bed or the Super Cold AC by the way is priceless. I was there 5 nights so I experienced it to the fullest. You will have lizards pay you a visit part of the beachside experience lol my only suggestion to the owner is we need a heavy blanket because the AC is so cold is necessary an ironing board was suggested by my friend because he incapable of wearing clothes he has not ironed but I personally did not care. Was awesome Luis gets 10 stars in my book! Gelato place downstairs cant beat the location on any other place you stay.

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Roatan and staying here was an excellent decision. It was amazing for us to have a nice beach in front of us and also to be able to snorkel right there. Several good restaurants were walking distance as well as the water taxis to go to West Bay. We want to thanks so much to Luis and Samantha (our hosts) for all their hospitality and support during our stay. They gave us excellent tips about restaurants, things to do during our stay, and so on and they were always willing to help us. We definitely would like to come back and stay here again.

Luis and Samantha are great hosts, very helpful and accommodating. The location is perfect, everything you need is just a short walk away. Land and water taxis are readily available if you want to leave the area to check out other parts of the island. Quieter than West Bay, but still a decent night life and good food all within walking distance. The accommodation is basic but more than adequate since you're probably not coming here to hang out inside. Bed, bath, living and kitchen area. I highly recommend staying here, and dealing with Luis and Samantha is a pleasure.

Place was amazing.. Clean and comfortable! Process was very simple and owner was easy to work with. I will always still here in the future when I return to Roatan.

Luis and his wife were very helpful and even picked us up and dropped off at the airport. The house was clean and they even had towels for us.(we brought towels, but they were cool enough to have some stocked) The house was in a great spot right on half moon bay. It is close to great restaurants and bars, just a perfect spot! We will be back!!

Couldn't really ask for a better location in half moon bay. Luis is getting 5stars across the board from me. A few things could have been better but he went above and beyond to address them and make my stay as excellent as possible. I couldn't knock a host who was so amazingly accommodating. Things come up, how a provider deals with them is what they should be rated on.

This place was amazing! We would definitely come back to stay here! Perfect size with everything we needed. And absolutely the most perfect location. It is right above a Gelato shop which was never super loud. Plus the shop was only open in the afternoons and weekends so we had the beach to ourselves. It is also close to all the shops and restaurants you may want. We never actually met Luis or Samantha but they arranged for a super nice guy to pick us up and drop us off at the airport. And Samantha was always available for all my questions. All in all a great stay!

Photos didn't do it justice, everything is close and the view is unbelievable.

We loved staying in the Lemon Tree House. Such a great value. Everything was perfect!

Our stay was truly pleasant with a very private and safe experience. The staff were thoughtful upon our arrival and although the house is not next to the beach, it's really a short 5 min walk to it. You do have to cross the main road, but the beach area was mostly empty and we were able to use the kayaks. A dive shop is just a short walk away from tge beach area if you are interested in diving. Would definitely recommend staying here. Staff was even able to accomodate our request for a baby crib!

The house is better then the pictures and the ground were beautiful. We enjoyed being away from the busy area of West end and West Bay. There are several close restuarents within 5-10 minutes from the house and lots of areas to explore. The roads in certain areas have a lot of pot holes from rain etc but then other areas were fine. If you are into snorkeling it is easier to swim out from the boat dock but it is a long swim. You could use the kayaks if you had a weight to anchore it right before the reef. There are also very large star fish in the sandy area straight out from the condo beach area that is part of the complex. Great sunsets from the condo dock on the top level. If you want to be in the heart of the action don't stay in Sandy Bay area stay in West Bay or West End. A rental car makes getting groceries and exploring the island much easier.

Perfect place, thanks for everything!

Casa Argenta is even more beautiful than the pictures! My wife and I spent 5 nights of our honeymoon here. The house is in Sandy Bay, which was the perfect location for us. We wanted to spend most of our time amongst Islanders and not the overflow of cruise ship visitors. It’s far enough away from the tourist hubs of West End and West Bay, so there was peace and quiet, but not so far way that you can’t enjoy the nightlife if you want to. West End is a quick cab ride away ($5 for both of us) and you can take a water taxi (recommended) for $3 a person from West End to West Bay. Make sure you agree on payment before you jump in. The house itself is just really cool! Modern architecture just feet away from the ocean was a dream for us. You can snorkel right in front of the house and all the gear is provided. Bring water shoes. This part of the beach is beautiful but also has more plant life and sea urchins in the shallows. The home is very comfortable, but don’t expect central AC or fancy hotel amenities. The floor plan is open and natural so expect a few bugs and warm weather. This is the tropics! Hans was very kind and easy to communicate with, and made the booking process a breeze. Tanja is the manager of this home, and was so helpful and accommodating. She lives down the road and is just a phone call away. We had a wonderful experience here!

Beautiful house, right on the beach. Amazing snorkeling right in front of the house. We hope to return in the future.

This house is amazing! The design is so interesting and cool, unlike any other houses on the beach. The view and water access is fantastic. We stayed with 6 people and had plenty of room to spread out and relax as well as spend time together. Tanja was a great manager and helped us with everything we needed. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat - it was really magical! Tips for visiting - bring bug spray and water shoes. The water out front has seagrass and shells so its best to wear water shoes. Also bring beach towels - the house has some towels but they are small and for showering. The beach down the way has a sandy entry and there are some docks to dive off and actually swim. Its very shall right in front of the house. The reef in front of the house is really great - definitely go snorkeling with the gear provided. The house also had almost everything you need for cooking and lots of left over seasonings from previous guests. We also ate at the restaurants down the way a few times which were good. We took taxis and also Collectivas (large public vans) that stop at where our street meets the road. We had 6 people so taxis were a pain (bc you have to take multiple) but the Collectivas come every 10 mins and cost less than $1/person to West End. They are large Vans and say in lettering where they go on the front. Overall, we just loved this house! Its so great - I love the house, the location, the privacy - everything was perfect!! Thanks Hans and Tanja!

Hans was easy to work with and very responsive to all our questions and concerns. This was our first air b&b experience and it was easy. The house is exactly as the pictures portray, it's very interesting and functional. The kitchen has everything you will need to do your cooking and we were able to stop and grocery shop on the way from the airport and get everything we needed for our stay. Tanja, the property manager was very helpful checking us in and was also very responsive and accessible during our stay. There is also a security guard for some of the properties in that neighborhood that introduced himself right when we got there and checked in on us a number of times during our stay. The house is an easy two block walk to the main road where there is an abundance of taxi's and buses that run at all times. Most of the time we got picked up just as we were coming to the main road. You must ask the price of the ride before you get in. We went to the east end of the island one day. It was $40 to get there and $20 to get back. As the taxi driver said to us "the price depends". As for comfort, my wife and I had different experiences. I enjoy a firm bed and I like hammocks. For her the bed was much to firm and she didn't feel like there was a cozy place to just sit and read and look at the view, which is stunning! If you fly fish you can spend lots of time twice a day, with the tides, fishing. There are plenty of bone fish and permit right in front of the house. Also you can get out to great snorkeling straight out from the house. There are buoys out there where the snorkeling and diving shops tie up when they bring tourists out. All in all a very enjoyable stay. Thanks Hans!

Casa Argenta was incredible! The location of Sandy Beach was ideal for visiting places all over the island. The house was beautiful and the design and views were majestic. Casa Argenta feels like you have your own private beach. The sunset views were gorgeous and the house comes fully stocked with everything you need.

Four of us stayed at Casa Argenta the first week of March 2014. The house is amazing - it's a really well thought out and beautiful space right in one of the most amazing parts of the island The deck has a lots of shade to get out of the sun, you can easily walk down the beach to a couple different dive centers and restaurants. We used Tranquil Seas who were great and competent dive center. There's also a new spa that's not far from the house. Bring a headlamp, it's dark at night on the beach! One of the highlights is the incredible service that we received with Tanjah who is there to help you with anything you need. Robert the driver is also great. We loved it and would come back.

This home is accurately described and can be considered a piece of heaven. This spacious modern 3bd/2ba home has a view to enjoy day after day while swinging in a hammock. My family and I will definitely be returning here in the near future. Tanja who is the local property manager was very kind and hospitable. You can reach her at anytime in the event you need something. (We never did) Rustic and environmentally friendly, truly a great place to disconnect and relax.
