We know what we like having traveled to many islands over the years. And after much research, we chose Sueno Del Mar. Could not have been happier with our choice!
It is just what we wanted...
Not touristy, A bit out of town so not as populated and crazy, 4-5 minute walk to the restaurants, bars, and shopping area, Beachfront property with sunset views, A welcoming beach bar & grill, Basic clean accommodations, A safe/lockbox in the room, A friendly staff.
Only 8 rooms...all with a patio/balcony and a view of the ocean. You can swim or hangout right in front of your room! Breakfast served upstairs every morning and it is included in the price of your room. It is a great place to talk with other travelers! There are books to read/borrow/ leave as well. We stayed 8 nights and most of the guests we met had been coming here for years!
Ray, the owner, is kind, laid-back, and very helpful with suggestions & island information. There is a dive shop and pier connected to the office and Ray scheduled all dives for my husband. He had some great dives and is still talking about them. Some guests dove with other dive shops and were picked up right at Sueno's Pier.
Rooms were cleaned daily, although a few days we told them we didn't need the service. Shower always had hot water.
The beach bar opens in the early afternoon and was a nice place to chill out and talk. Lots of locals come there and young people come most nights to play volleyball on the beach. The bartenders were friendly and speak with everyone NOT just the locals so that was cool! They serve ice cold beers, great drinks, and a nice pour on wines! Our room was on the bottom floor and it was fine. I kinda wanted an upper floor but sitting on the porch each day and evening was awesome and I was glad afterall to have a bottom room!
We loved Roatan and had a great vacation!
I suspect we will return once more to Roatan before our adventures take us to new destinations and Sueno Del Mar will get our business again!
