Rise & Shine
A cooked-to-order breakfast served al fresco from 7:30 to 9:30 AM under a canopy of trees. Less about fueling up, more about savoring the morning before the day unfolds.
Nine Rooms. One Perfect Stay.
Nine standalone rooms, two ways to stay. Beachfront suites with the Caribbean at your feet, or private garden villas tucked into tropical seclusion. Open floor plans, handmade furnishings, bespoke artwork by regional artisans, bedding that earns its own review. This is where to stay in Roatan when you want the island to feel like it belongs to you.
Our beachfront suites come with outdoor showers beneath the open sky. The garden villas have fully equipped kitchens for island-inspired cooking. Every room opens onto a private patio. And at the end of our 400-foot dock, the world’s second-largest barrier reef waits just below the surface.
Ten minutes from West End, on a one-acre estate where the jungle meets the sea. This is where mornings are slower and connections run deeper.
Absolutely perfect Caribbean paradise! We loved our week at Puerta Azul. Our beachfront suite was luxurious with breathtaking views of the ocean.

Beachfront Suites
Caribbean ocean views the moment you open your eyes. Five suites sit steps from the water in Sandy Bay, Roatan, each with an outdoor shower and a private patio facing the sea. Wake up with coffee and your toes in the sand. The reef is a few fin-kicks off the dock, and the morning is yours before anyone else is awake.
Oceanfront Suite

Unobstructed Caribbean views from the moment you open your eyes. Wake to sunrise over the water, rinse off beneath open sky in your private outdoor shower, fall asleep to waves just steps from your door.
Sea View Suite
- 1 King
- 2 Guests
A private beachfront patio, a hammock that seems to slow time, peek-a-boo glimpses of turquoise through the palms. Exposed beam ceilings, outdoor shower, Caribbean breezes. Barefoot luxury as a daily reality.
Double Seaview Suite
- 1 Queen & 1 Full
- 3 Guests
Two beds and an oversized walk-in shower, designed for friends or small families who want reef access without squeezing into a single king. A shared porch, subtly divided by cascading pothos plants, gives everyone their own moment of quiet.
The private villas were immaculately clean and beautifully designed, offering the perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. It felt like our own secluded retreat nestled in paradise.
Private Garden Villas
Four standalone villas tucked into tropical foliage, where birdsong sets the pace instead of an alarm. Each has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking with island ingredients, plus the space to spread out. Open the doors and the garden comes in. Quieter than the beachfront, a short barefoot walk from the same 400-foot dock and the same warm water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our hotel accommodations? Find answers to our most commonly asked questions below or reach out to us directly. We’re always happy to help you plan your perfect Roatan vacation.
Are there TVs in the suites and villas?
No, our accommodations do not have televisions. Our rooms are purposefully designed to encourage relaxation and connecting with nature. However, we do provide high-speed WiFi if you’d like to stream on your device. Additionally, we have a delightful collection of books and board games in the kitchen. Feel free to borrow them during your stay with us.
Do any of your accommodations have kitchens or kitchenettes?
Yes, all of our Garden Villa accommodations feature fully-equipped kitchens. This includes the Garden Villa, Family Garden Villa, and 2-Bedroom Garden Villa. Each kitchen comes with thoughtfully selected appliances, allowing you to craft your own island-inspired meals if you choose. This makes our garden villas ideal for guests seeking a self-catering home-away-from-home experience or those planning extended stays. Our beachfront suites do not include kitchens but are equipped with a minifridge for storing drinks and snacks. Guests staying in our villas and suites can enjoy the convenience of our on-site restaurant just steps away, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with authentic dishes crafted by our local chefs.
Will I need bug spray?
Yes! You’ve likely already heard about Roatan’s notorious sand flies. These tiny bugs are present throughout the island. We do our part by spraying around the property and regularly raking the sand; however, they’re still around – so prevention is important. Mosquitoes are also present, especially at sunrise and sunset.
We recommend bringing a reef-safe, oil-based repellent made with natural ingredients, or a DEET-based option if you prefer. Being proactive and consistent with repellent will make a big difference. We also carry a locally made, eco-friendly option at the hotel if you’d like to try something produced here on the island.
What complimentary amenities and activities are included with my stay?
Your stay includes a delicious cooked-to-order breakfast served daily from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM, complimentary WiFi throughout the property, and free on-site parking. Guests enjoy unlimited access to our 400-foot private dock, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, beach loungers, hammocks, and purified drinking water in every room. The property features an on-site restaurant serving lunch and dinner, and our dedicated concierge service to arrange tours, activities, massages, and transportation. All water sports equipment can be used at your leisure to explore the pristine Caribbean waters and nearby Mesoamerican Reef.
Is the beach at Puerta Azul good for swimming and snorkeling?
The beachfront at Puerta Azul rests along seabed flats—a fragile ecosystem that nurtures countless juvenile fish and marine creatures. While the shallow shoreline isn’t suited for wading, it’s lovely for children to play in the sand and for setting off on a kayak or paddleboard. For swimming and snorkeling, our dock stretches 400 feet into the sea, where the sandy-bottomed water opens into a stunning spot to explore the reef. From the dock you can slip directly into the sea, where you’ll often spot incredible sea life that thrives in the seagrass below. The best snorkeling is a short swim from the dock, where you’ll encounter vibrant coral formations, tropical fish, and the world’s second-largest barrier reef system. Many guests say the snorkeling directly from our dock rivals paid excursions elsewhere on the island.
Does Puerta Azul have a pool?
We don’t have a pool, but as a beachfront property, the Caribbean Sea is just steps away. Our private dock stretches 400 feet out over the water, offering a quiet place to sunbathe, read, or simply enjoy the view. From the dock you can slip directly into the sea for swimming and snorkeling, where sandy-bottomed waters and the nearby reef make for an incredible natural playground. Many guests find that the pristine Caribbean waters and direct reef access offer a more authentic and memorable experience than a traditional pool.
What are the check-in and check-out times, and can I modify them?
Standard check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability at no additional charge—just let us know your needs when booking or contact us directly. Please note that the managers are on-site until 4:30 PM.
How do I arrange airport transportation and what payment methods do you accept?
Puerta Azul is conveniently located just 10-15 minutes from Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport. We offer transfers to and from the airport for $25 each way for up to 4 people. Simply contact us with your arrival details after booking, and we’ll arrange a driver to meet you at the airport—this is often the most stress-free way to begin your island getaway. For payment, any additional charges during your stay including food, beverages, tours, and gift shop purchases will be added to your room bill throughout your stay. The final balance is payable at check-out via a valid credit card or cash.
How far is Puerta Azul from West End and other attractions?
Puerta Azul is perfectly positioned in Sandy Bay to offer both tranquility and convenience. We’re located just 10 minutes from West End, where you’ll find vibrant restaurants, bars, shopping, and nightlife. The property is 15 minutes from Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport, making arrival and departure seamless. This ideal location means you can enjoy our peaceful beachfront setting while still having easy access to Roatan’s most popular dining and entertainment destinations. Our staff is happy to arrange transportation and provide recommendations for the best restaurants and activities in West End and throughout the island.
Is Puerta Azul family-friendly and suitable for traveling with children?
Yes! While our intimate setting is perfect for couples and solo travelers, we also welcome families. Kids love exploring Roatan’s shoreline, kayaking, and spotting marine life from our dock. The shallow beachfront is lovely for children to play in the sand, and families can set off on kayaking and paddleboarding adventures together. Our accommodation options include the Double Sea View Suite with one queen and one single bed (sleeps 3), the Family Garden Villa with one king and two twin beds (sleeps 4), and the 2-Bedroom Garden Villa with two queen and one twin bed (sleeps 5), providing comfortable space for families of various sizes.
