Great villa in fantastic location
The villa is in a great location, only 2 or 3 minutes from the beautiful beach and less than 10 minutes walk from a range of restaurants and bars.
It is very new and has modern appliances, and great AC - the layout works really well for a family with good bathrooms and a great table for meals and plenty of space for getting together. It is very well equipped throughout. Older kids will especially like the mezzanine bedroom!
The patios and the swing seat at the front are great spots for relaxing outdoors and watching the hummingbirds feed - and they stay dry even if it’s raining.
The nearby beach is fabulous and as the villa is connected to the Blue Roatan Resort you can use their facilities on the beach as well; pool, jacuzzi, loungers, paddle boards, kayaks and snorkels. The reef can be easily reached by paddle board or kayak straight from the beach.
We were put in touch with some great contacts for taxis, snorkelling and for the water taxi. The water taxi is the simplest way to get to West End or West Bay - each is a 10min boat ride away. The taxi from the airport took us to the supermarket on the way to the villa to let us stock up for our stay and there is a good option of shops in West End as well if you need to restock. The cinnamon rolls at Sandy Buns in West End are a definite must!
Sea Salt restaurant, two minutes along the beach, was the highlight for us for food, and the Boat Bar was a fabulous spot for watching the sunset with a beer, right on the beach.
