This place was a tropical paradise! We loved the jungle! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was delicious and convenient. They even cooked up a red snapper that we had caught that day! Perfectly! Our cabin was everything we had hoped for. Comfortable beds and we appreciated AC at night! ##### Hugh R.

The dive shop was incredible, brewery and the cove were perfect close by options and we also had a local named Henry pick us up on the boat and take us down the beach to his restaurant. Our kids loved the pool and we loved our slow mornings on the porch with coffee watching all the lizards and hummingbirds. The only downfall is the noseeums be prepared with bug sprays and ointments! Don’t be afraid to venture out too, we found the island people to be so friendly and kind. ##### Emily D. Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dan V. 16 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication #### A retirement community This is a quiet retirement community. Not really for big groups. The restaurant caters to the regulars and the bar tender also. Even after giving them 20-30 percent tips they never warmed up to our group. Bungalow was nice and location is good. Scuba shop is ok but I had a better experience at Sandy Bay Divers. ##### Dan V.

We loved the setting and quietness of the resort. The hustle and bustle of West Bay and West End are only a reasonable cab ride away. The house was as advertised. The onsite restaurant staff were lovely, food was good. Very “natural” and not commercialized. As with all of Roatan don’t forget the bug spray. We would return. ##### Patti F.

It is peaceful, remote and beautiful. The roatan brewery is across the road and is very good. The restaurant attached is very nice. The pool is small but good. The restaurant staff is fantastic. Stephanie, the concierge is very nice. We did utilize the scuba shop. They were fantastic. Drop your gear to them before you dive. Pick it up at their shop, rinsed and ready to go when you're done. They don't put tip on cc so have cash for that. You need a car or will have to pay LOTS for cab rides to go anywhere on your own. The sand flies are horrible so bring your deet or use coconut oil. They love suntan lotion. ##### Erin L.

Beautiful gardens with fruit trees and tropical flowers. Permanent residents are very friendly and helpful with advise for activities. Dive shop was very accommodating and fairly priced. ##### jim s.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night getaway to Palmetto Bay. The location is great and very secluded. The place was very clean and well stocked. The employees are great and super helpful. Keep in mind that their is no AC in the great room and kitchen, only in the bedrooms. One negative is that the restaurant will close early if no one is there. We tried to get dinner at 7:30 and couldn’t. It overall it was a great vacation! ##### Margaret H.

The location was great, the house was as described. I would definitely go back. The host was very easy to reach with any questions or to give us suggestions. We had one issue with hot water, but they were there quickly to resolve it (within 15-30 minutes). This was just the relaxing no stress trip we needed. ##### Samantha K. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb H. 20 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Secluded and gated property This property has 24 hour security and is located off the beaten path. Our bungalow was a few short steps to the beach, dive center, restaurant and bar. If you want a vacation experience in a private community this is a great place. There is a brewery just outside the gate that serves local craft beer and authentic island food that we visited twice on our trip. Shopping and restaurants were easy to get to by cab and most tour companies would send a van to take you to and from their attraction at no extra charge. ##### Deb H.

Besides being unable to get in touch with the property manager from the time I left the states until an hour & 1/2 after arrival, the stay was fabulous. If it been my first time to the island, that would’ve been very frustrating & I would not have known what to do but since id been to the location before, I knew the protocol. I love Roatan & I love Palmetto Bay. The bungalow was tucked into, what felt like, it’s own little jungle paradise. I sat out on the deck every morning & listened to all the birds & watched the hummingbirds fly from flower to flower in the garden. The whole front of the bungalow opened up & there were screen doors to let the breeze flow thru. That was good since there was no AC in the main part of the bungalow(I was unaware of that), which made it uncomfortable at times. The bedrooms were air conditioned so sleeping was very comfortable. It was just a short walk to the beach, pool, & restaurant that was located on the property. It was only 20 minutes from the West Bay Area & was an easy drive to get there. It’s also pretty close to Little French Key which was one of our favorite days. Overall, I would highly recommend staying in the bungalow at Palmetto Bay & would stay there again. ##### jay h.

Roomy for the four of us (kids 16 & 13), well appointed with a lush jungle surrounding just steps from the gorgeous beach cove! The staff is by FAR the best on the island and we took advantage of the onsite restaurant and bar daily. Wonderful walks on the beach and even found a “natural pool” just west of the property-must see! Snorkel guide picked us up on the pier to explore the shipwreck just off the shore, fresh coconuts and all for the ride back. Get away from the cruise ships, experience the local hospitality and truly relax. Perfect week in paradise and highly recommend!!!! ##### Jean W.
