Seaside Inn B&B - Private Pool! 2 minute walk to West Bay Beach!!

We sure picked a great vacation rental for our 3rd time to Roatan and we will rent here again. Other rentals we had were not on the West Bay Beach side, so we had to rent a car and neither one had a backup generator - and let me tell you, you want a place with a backup generator! It is a real bummer to be sweating while you sleep with no fans or AC and then to top it off, no WATER!! The pumps can't run so you can't even cool off with a shower. Seaside Inn has a generator that automatically comes on and within 5-6 seconds or so, you have everything back up and running - even the AC! We had such a good time being able to walk to the beach, play hard, come back for lunch if we decided to, or maybe take a refreshing swim to rinse off the salt water and go again!! And we didn't have to coordinate the rental car between each other if someone wanted to leave the beach earlier. The restaurants were all within walking distance; we chose different ones every night - loved the Argentinian Grill! Seaside Inn was super well-stocked with beach towels, bath towels, linens, pots, pans, etc. Everything was beautifully decorated and well-maintained. We're planning our next year vacation to come back here! Thank you, Carolyn, for such a great vacation!

My Wife and I stayed in the Toucan suite Mar 17- Apr 06, 2015 and enjoyed every day we were there. The Inn and owner Caolyn Belfor were wonderful. As advertised the Inn is a two minute walk to probably the best beach on the Island giving access to world class snorkeling, restaurants that offer great food and unmatchable sunsets or, when just going for a stroll, star fish lounging in the sea grass are waiting to greet you. The Seaside Inn was and is all its advertised to be. We enjoyed our breakfasts every morning on a huge deck with views overlooking jungle and a great pool that we used often later in the day or for just a quick evening splash. Carolyn, the owner, was a wonderful host with a wealth of information about Roatan that she was happy to share with us. The services that Carolyn recommended were second to none! When renting a car it was delivered to our door promptly at 08:00, water taxis and wheeled taxis drivers recommended by our host were always waiting for us with clean and safe boats or cars and the drivers were a treasure of information and advise. But the best touch of all was the fish truck that delivered fresh lobster, shrimp, and red snapper that we grilled on the deck on the odd evening. I did a lot of shopping prior to booking the Toucan suite at the Seaside Inn and I must say I really did get lucky. Our accommodations were great, our hostess was wonderful and the price that included the 19 percent tax was a lot less than Carolyn could have charged. I read a review that mentioned the hill to climb when walking up from the beach. My wife and I are both 60 years old and from the prairies. We are not exactly used to steep climbs so I was a bit concerned over the hill comment. The hill is nothing more than an uphill grade that made us chuckle at the comment.

We stayed at this great little resort for a week in July. It’s a gem of a little place right off the most beautiful beach on the island. West Bay Beach is stunning. The location is fantastic. We saw a couple of the places we were going to rent and they were not anywhere near the beach. (Beware of some of the false advertising – some of the places say they’re on West Bay but they are not!) We had a short stroll right down to West Bay Beach and came out of the lane right near Beachers Restaurant. So very glad we decided to stay here at Seaside.

The Seaside Inn was spotlessly clean and super comfortable. Everyone was very happy with their rooms and all said the beds were very comfy. Loved the little kitchens for fixing sandwiches and keeping drinks and fresh fruits we bought from the street vendors. And of course hot coffee and tea in the morning which we usually drank out on the huge veranda.

The air conditioning was a lifesaver at night. (I don’t think I could have made it without it.) The bathrooms were nice and clean and beautifully tiled. Nice linens and towels.

When the private pool is completed this place is going to be fabulous. Quiet, private with lots of parrots and palm trees and the pool off the huge veranda will be the perfect setting in paradise. We are all planning a return trip next year to lounge by the pool.

We loved the island. The snorkeling was fantastic. Spotted rays, turtles and lots of beautiful fish. We ate at many nice restaurants. We all agree that the coconut shrimp at Beachers and the beef tenderloin at Argentinian Grill were some of the very best meals. When the cruise ships were in, West Bay was lively and fun with lots of people and activities and when there were no cruise ships the beach was quiet, serene and beautiful. The people on the island are all so friendly and we always felt safe. It’s a very happy little island.

We all agreed we would highly recommend the Seaside Inn. It’s a very nice place to stay in a perfect location and we will all be back next year.
