Great accommodations and service from the B&B owner and staff. Prior to arrival the owner set us up with a driver from the airport, he even stopped by grocery store on our way from the airport to grab some lunch essentials, wine, beer, liquor, and a few dinners allowing us to keep to our "dining out" budget. Complimentary breakfast is served every morning (except Friday), perfect way to start the morning. The bungalow had all the kitchen items you need to prepare your own meals.
The bungalow was very quaint, clean and everything worked as advertised, even the generator kicked on within a few seconds after the power went out due to a wind storm. Snorkeling equipment was also available which allowed us to minimize our luggage. In addition, the B&B is equipped with a lot of extras that travelers will find helpful: left over sunscreen and bug spray, DVD's for a rainy day, free laundry machine use with detergent, porch hammocks, and board games.
If you stay here, you should absolutely take advantage of the owner's connections and expertise. She arranged a private driving tour for us that was very reasonably priced. It lasted almost 7 hours touring the entire island with a local for $40/person. The owner can also arranged a rental car to be delivered to the B&B. She was very knowledgeable about where to go, and how to avoid the worst of the cruise trip traffic.
Our biggest concern when booking this trip centered on language and currency issues. We never had any difficulties! Everyone we dealt with on the island spoke English and we paid for just about everything with American dollars or credit cards. The owner gave us great advice about what things ought to cost so we didn't get taken advantage of by vendors. For $3/pp make sure to take a water taxi to West End for lunch and sightseeing.
The West Bay beach is absolutely beautiful and offers fantastic snorkeling directly from the beach or you can hitch a ride on a scuba boat for a couple hours. West Bay Divers is a few hundred yards from the house. All of the usual beach fun is on offer at West Bay - parasailing, kayaks, jet skis, paddle boards, etc. We spent a lot of beach time under an umbrella in front of the Beacher's restaurant people-watching. Get there early, as it can get crowded when the cruise ships are in town. If you like to scuba/snorkel this island is as good as it gets, just an amazing reef system. We've been to a handful of Carribean destinations and Roatan ranks in the top 5.
