“Location, location, location!!!”
+The reef! An incredibly beautiful reef to snorkel right off the end of the dock, with a stunning dropoff wall maybe a couple of hundred feet out. Friendly and helpful hosts and staff and fellow guests. Modest but clean and comfortable room, and delicious home cooked meals. It is quiet and relaxing, with no honking taxis to dodge and no vendors to bother you. A really genuine island experience away from the crowds and close to nature. And very affordable. The hosts will arrange any kind of excursion or activity you want with reputable and friendly locals. The focus is on diving and fishing, and they invited me to tag along on the dive boat and snorkel. It was incredible snorkeling, and they didn't even charge me. Snorkel gear is available to rent for $15 if you don't have your own. We will return!
−Only that we didn't book a few more days here this time. Ok.... They could use a WiFi extender to cover some of the rooms better if I were to find something to nit-pick. Maybe add a fish and fries option to the menu
+The Reef House is a gathering place for the community. Expats and locals come and go throughout the day and evening. You are immediately included in the family of staff, visitors and locals. The owner and manager make you feel welcome. The ladies in the kitchen cook great food. The man-made saltwater pool is a great place to relax on a floaty or snorkel. Night snorkeling was amazing. You can also swim out off the dock and snorkel the reef. It’s a beautiful spot away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist side of the island.The people and the beauty make up for the amenities that may be lacking for some. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable, but it’s quite rustic and bare bones. A/C worked great.
+My stay at the Reef House was exactly what I wanted. It has the old Roatan charm to an old dive shop that has the most welcoming staff I have ever met. From the owner Davey to Keith the IT/Bartender and the friendliest cook staff that makes great down home cooking. David the dive master has been out on the reef longer than most have known about Roatan. He knows some really cool places to see.

“Very good”
“Wonderful Place”
+Booked this place as the last night of a longer trip, it was great and wish we had longer to stay there. Great staff, delicious food and picturesque. It is a quieter part of the island and we had a great time.
“A little bit of happiness”
+Amazing people- treated like family! I can’t say enough about this place- nothing fancy but will definitely return- boat ride to the floating bar with our new friends Becky, Mr. Rick, Bush, Capt. Ryan and all the wonderful people! Brunetta and Keith took great care of us! I hope I’m not forgetting anyone! If you go here- even for a few days you will have a great time! Like I said- nothing fancy but I loved it!

“Rustic and remote - nice swimming area - don’t expect Wi-Fi or see views from the room”
+The location is nice with a swimming area in front of the hotel that is blocked off by a small seawall so it’s shallow and protected. Good shrimp tacos.
−Be prepared for a longer and expensive journey to the hotel - it’s about $40 from the airport and then you have to get a water taxi out to the hotel another $3-$5. It’s more rustic and run down than the pictures depict and the description is not accurate (e.g. I reserved a sea view room, but in actuality, you have to leave the room in order to see it, no TV or Wi-Fi in the room ). There is only one room that has an actual sea view. I don’t mind rustic, but paying $100/night for this level of rustic is inconsistent with the quality. For that price, I also feel like you should get maybe throw in a couple eggs or something for breakfast. You only get coffee included. It says there’s a flat screen TV and Wi-Fi neither which I had in my room which was very problematic since I work PT online and could not work since the only place I could get Wi-Fi was out in a crowded outdoor deck on a picnic bench, with a lot of noise, weather, and bugs to contend with. There is nothing around in terms of restaurants and groceries so you have to have all your meals at the on Property restaurant. I suppose this is all fine if you’re just prepared for it, but the write up does not accurately let you deci
