Why travelers love it
“All‑inclusive resort on its own private island just off Roatán”
Guests consistently highlight the very clean private beach and uncrowded, relaxed atmosphere even during busy periods. The dive centre and beach staff often get praise.
Food & drink
MixedFood is hit or miss and skews cheap: fried snacks, repetitive buffet, and complaints of cold plates, though a few guests found it perfectly fine for the price point.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Three restaurants plus buffet
- Drinks flow freely at the bars
- Adequate for short stays
Heads up
- Repetitive menu over multiple days
- No seafood at the buffet

- Staff rake seaweed each morning
- Hammocks, canopy beds, and shade available
Heads up
- Cups and trash sometimes left on tables

White‑sand private beach on a 21‑acre island. Water is clear; beach stays clean thanks to staff, and never feels crowded.
Pools
StrongPools are a pleasant complement to the beach and generally clean, though one guest flagged cloudy water and the promised pool bar sometimes sits closed.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Refreshing pools near the beach
- Good break from sand and sun
- Clean and well-kept when maintained
Heads up
- Pool bar advertised but not always open
- Occasional reports of cloudy water

What’s included
MixedValue depends entirely on expectations: as a budget island escape it delivers, but priced against a modern all-inclusive it feels overpriced and dated.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- True all-inclusive with no hidden fees
- Beautiful setting for the money if you go in with budget expectations
- Affordable room rates
Heads up
- Rooms and facilities badly need renovation
- Day-pass pricing feels inconsistent and opaque
- Not worth it if you expect high-end polish
Package inclusions and upgrade access have not been collected yet. Confirm them for your room and dates when booking.
Amenities & activities
Couples
StretchThe private-island setting, sea-view wooden bungalows, and overwater pergola with hammocks lean romantic, but tired rooms and maintenance issues undercut any honeymoon polish.

- Quiet stretches of beach to yourselves
Heads up
- Rooms feel dated and neglected

Peace & Quiet
MixedThe island setting is genuinely peaceful and often near-empty, but active renovation work, loud tour music, and thin room walls can shatter the calm on the wrong day.
high confidence

- Often at minimum capacity
- Empty stretches of beach and loungers
Heads up
- Construction and power tools during stays

★☆☆☆☆
★★★★★
“The place was burnt to the ground in a fire and they have to rebuild it from scratch. The owner saying it is "temporarily closed" is technically correct, but also leaving out a bit of detail. Their website doesn't even mention this mundane detail either.”
★☆☆☆☆
“They turned the electricity off at night. No warning at all. Both days lights were off. not sure if it was because this is cheaper hotel or what but never going back”
★★☆☆☆
“A spectacular place with top-notch service, you won't regret it.”
