Bay Islands cottages

Really great location. Steps from the water and access to the Marine Park. A short swim to the reef. Cozy cabana. Miriam and other staff very nice, helpful and always there to help if needed. Not a big space but great for 2. We likened it to a small version of Humphrey’s cabana in TV series Death in Paradise.

The check in process was easy and we were able to contact the property manager via WhatsApp. She came to check in, in person the first evening and was lovely to chat to. Unfortunately she didn't know much about the property, kayaks, or beach/reef. It was easy to find the property and the fence provided security during our stay. The house was nice and clean, with plenty of towels and linens. Each floor had several fans and windows that open, plus an A/C unit we used occasionally. The smart TVs were great, and we used our usual streaming services. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had most items we needed (loved having a good blender, we enjoyed many Pina colada). The pool house was not needed during our stay but we rinsed off at the outdoor shower and enjoyed the pool floats we found inside. Unfortunately, there were a few things that disappointed us. The fridge took several days to chill the few beers and ingredients we brought along. There were no ice cube trays so we had to go shopping for trays or cubes. The kitchen faucet had very minimal water pressure which made cleaning up after meals frustrating. We were assured that there was a 5 gallon jug of drinking water at the house ready for us but it was near empty on arrival (luckily we had bought our own before arriving). The pool was quite sandy. The kayaks were not safe to use, as the drainage holes someone added caused us to almost sink. The beach was unfortunately littered and not nice for swimming.

SunDancer is a friendly little community where fellow travelers become friends, and everyone can enjoy fantastic snorkeling off the dock, lounging by the crystal clear pool, and incredible sunsets from the upper deck of the dock! We are repeat visitors, and our host, as always, was attentive to our every need. SunDancer is a tranquil little piece of paradise where you are surrounded by the true flora and fauna of the island.

We stayed with our daughter and son in law and it was very nice. All the comforts of home. It was peaceful and quiet and far enough away from the nightlife to enjoy nature. We would recommend this location to those coming to Utila.
