About The Hotel: Puerta Azul
Our Story. Your Escape.
The Puerta Azul Experience
Make Yourself At Home.
Only 10 minutes away from the buzzing streets of West End, on a one-acre estate tucked between the jungle and the sea, lies a place where mornings are slower and connections run deeper.
At Puerta Azul, we honor the true essence of island living. Encouraging you to take it easy, embrace simplicity, and engage with Roatan in a way that is real, unhurried, and meaningful. Awaken with coffee in hand, your toes in the sand, and the ocean wide open ahead of you.
As you venture further into the island, know that every recommendation we make – whether it’s a dive operator or locally made bug spray – supports those who share our conservation-minded approach. Each one of these choices, small but intentional, allow us to preserve the integrity of Roatan for generations to come.
Meet The Team
Local Warmth. Genuine Hospitality.
At Puerta Azul, the people are just as much a part of the experience as the place itself. From the warm greetings in the morning to thoughtful touches throughout your stay, we believe true hospitality lies in the details. Whether it’s preparing meals infused with island flavors, lovingly tidying your space, or enthusiastically sharing our recommendations, we’re here to ensure your time with us is nothing short of extraordinary.
The Heart Of Puerta Azul
A Vision And A Purpose.
When Talia traded her 400 sq ft apartment in Manhattan’s East Village for a stretch of land on a Caribbean Island, she had no idea just how impactful that decision would be. Driven by a dream and marking the land with coconuts, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes to craft what would eventually become Puerta Azul – a boutique hotel that invites travelers to experience Roatan in its truest form.
As the dream evolved, so did its impact. Talia’s success has also allowed her to give back to the community by spearheading the construction of an access road, initiating trash collection efforts, and creating jobs and educational opportunities for locals.
Today, Puerta Azul is run by Talia and her husband, Antonio, alongside their dedicated, close-knit team of 14. Together, they embody and deliver everything you would expect from a tropical paradise.
Commitment To Sustainability
Small Steps, Big Impact
Sustainability is woven into every aspect of our operations. From energy-efficient LED lighting to water-conserving appliances, we’re mindful of our resources. To reduce single use plastic, we sell reusable water bottles and provide free refilling stations. And to protect the reef, we offer locally made reef-safe sunscreen and natural bug repellent at the gift shop.
