An honest review
We have spent several thousand dollars with VRBO in on three bookings from December 2023 to February 2024. Before we book again we are going to check this review to ensure it has not been edited or deleted.
The good:
- Beautiful unit with lovely hardwood floors and décor as well as high ceilings.
- Dishwasher, washer and dryer
- A partial ocean view
- Kudos to the property manager for adding a new mattress pad to our hard bed.
- When a storm brought up drifts of sea grass two feet high, staff removed it within three days.
The bad:
Yes, this is a third world country, but we are paying FIRST world prices.
- No glass windows – just screens and pretty shutters - so it’s noisy for sleeping. Construction starts at 7:30 a.m.
- Showers switched from very hot to freezing.
- The bay was murky with lots of sea grass perhaps because grey water from the condos drains into the ocean right out front.
- Pool is small and it was cloudy for 8 out of 10 days. A pool not treated properly with chemicals can expose swimmers to Hepatitis A, E. coli, lice, cryptosporidium etc.
The dangerous:
Malaria is present in Roatan with hords of mosquitoes at this resort.
Sand fleas inside condo. These tiny insects must have burrowed into our skin and clothes. Still biting 10 days after arriving home. Horrifying!
Driving to get groceries, we dealt with pothole ridden roads and obnoxious local drivers who pass on blind corners, tailgate and speed. So much for island time….
