I’d like to first rate the owner and operator, Ms Barbara, she was awesome, a solid 10.
The facilities, ….well, it depends on who you are and what you’re looking for.
If you’re backpacking through and you just need a place to crash it will be perfect. Well, almost perfect.
If you’re not a backpacker Roatan BnB may not be as convenient as you had imagined.
The building is a charming wood structure that has seen better days and maintenance: Windows and doors, screens, don’t all operate as they should. Appliances, WiFi, too don’t always operate. One unit had a tv but the other unit did not. One ceiling fan wobbled and it looked dangerously close to falling. A kitchen table was broken and it was haphazardly patched up instead of being replaced. Sundays are the maid’s day off so there are no services that day. The building is located some 600 meters uphill from the beach which enjoys refreshing breezes all day long. Hot showers are available but if the BnB is under heavy use the water cistern may get all used up leaving the facilities with no water.
I get it, and to a large extent I understand: it’s island life, the Caribbean, and no posh location; the price reflecting the age and wear of the facilities so overall it was OK.
