Puerta Azul

What a great location in the Sandy Bay area, we stayed her 3 nights and had a wonderful time. We were welcomed with fresh juice and shown around the property by Danielle, who is amazing. The property is nestled into the trees, with direct access to the blue door dock. The food was top notch and we enjoyed the recommendations for diving in the area. Talia has a wonderful property and will definitely come back if we visit again!

What a wonderful, friendly, relaxing place to stay on Roatan. Quiet and restful, at the same time plenty to do between snorkeling, fishing, paddle boarding, etc. Very short cab ride to West Bay, West End, and Roatan Island Brewery. The hosts and staff were helpful and welcoming. Everything was very clean. The rustic ambiance put you at ease. The food was outstanding. We will go back.

If you are staying anywhere in Sandy Bay, then this is the nicest and most accessible beach by far. My wife and I came to the beach and restaurant on our last day in Roatan, and are so glad we did - we had a really fun time. The snorkeling was great, food was amazing, and Monica and the staff were super friendly, helpful and a pleasure to chat with! Will definitely be back on our next trip though Roatan.

We had a great time at Puerta Azul! It was very laid back and friendly. There was enough around there with the hammocks, nearby reef, kayaks and good food that we could relax the whole day there but it was also easy to get a cab from nearby and explore other parts of the island. We would definitely go back to Puerta Azul!

This is a special place run by special people. absolutely gorgeous property and the snorkeling right off the dock is spectacular.!!!
We stayed in the one bedroom casita. It was comfortable and and clean. Had a little kitchen.
From our pick up at the airport to our ride back to airport we were well taken care of. The kitchen staff even accommodated by plant based (Monica was very supportive in this). diet which was a surprise. They also made us a beautiful flower arrangement for our anniversary!!
We were greeted every morning with smiling faces and delicious breakfast. These ladies in the kitchen work hard and are sweet as ever!!
Hopefully we will return. Thank you everyone for a wonderful Anniversary trip!! Tom and Elena

I adore this property - incredibly beautiful and relaxing! Ms Rose was amazing - I so appreciate getting to sit and chat with her.... truly a heart of gold. And she's a phenomenal chef! Monica was great - I encountered an allergen and needed to go to urgent care. She had a cab ready and had already called ahead to the urgent care to get pricing and ensure they were open as it was a Sunday. The only downside for me was that I'd hoped to have more options within walking distance for a quick drink, snack, etc...I prefer exploring local shops, bars, restaurants.

If you like quiet, private, exclusive, and welcoming places, this is the it!
Everything is under 10-15mins away since the island is small and located in the middle of Roatan. We don't like big tourists' resort.
The breakfast is included and good food.
The owner and staff are very helpful to enjoy our vacation and make an activity plan.
We used airport pickup and taxi service.
The driver, Javier, is a very nice person.
The place is beautiful and clean!

Such an amazing stay. So accommodating with transportation and breakfast before our dives! Beautiful beach and snorkeling from the dock.

A hidden oasis right on the beach. 3 stars for location only due to road conditions and the fact that this is tucked in behind other properties. It's definitely worth finding. The property is beautiful with multiple cabins for lodging. The view of the beach, the ocean, and the sunsets are excellent. The staff is welcoming, accommodating, available, and helpful, but not overbearing. Augusta was a wonderful concierge with robust knowledge of the island, its roads, the customs, restaurants, beaches, and literally every other thing about which we inquired. Our room was serviced each morning while we enjoyed breakfast on the patio where we enjoyed excellent food and conversations with the other guests. The food, by the way, is delicious, well prepared and graciously served.

This was an amazing place to stay and the staff make the stay perfect. It is on the water and you have access to kayaks and snorkel gear. The rooms are spacious, clean, and the bungalows have porches with hammocks. The best part as I mentioned is the staff. Augusta is top notch - took care of all taxi needs, activities, and new everywhere to go. The most amazing meals I've had were cooked by Rose each night. All the staff were welcoming, and the space makes you immediately feel relaxed and tropical. This would be a place I'd definitely stay again when traveling in Roatan. The location is away from West End and West Bay which keeps you away from the cruise boats travelers - but only a 10 min taxi to each location.

We just stayed 10 nights at Puerta Azul and we couldn't have been happier. Talia, Augusta, and the rest of the staff were all amazing. They took care of all of our needs and were always available. Everyone was so nice. And Rose in the kitchen may be the best chef on the island. Her food was amazing! The service at the restaurant was excellent as well. Breakfast was good every morning, usually egg forward, like scrambled eggs or omelets, which I appreciated. The room itself was very cute, I felt like I was at summer camp, and I mean that in the very best of ways. There was good AC but by midweek, we never used it again, as with the windows open, we had a great ocean breeze. The front porch and the end of the dock has great hammocks that I could spend all day in. We did multiple excursions from the dock, including 3 and 4 hour snorkel boating trips and the captain Edison and guide Antonio were great. Antonio even made us a GoPro video for no extra cost. Finally, there were multiple stray dogs near the property, and once again, could not have been more of a positive. They were all so sweet! We will be back to Roatan, and we will be staying at Puerta Azul again!

Wonderful, relaxing stay last October. Steps from the beach and the dock was so much fun to swim from to the reef. Calm and quiet at night. Talia was attentive throughout and her assistant, whose name escapes me now, was great too. Best dinner I had during my visit was here. Won’t be a 30 year wait to return to Roatan. Can’t wait to stay again.

Puerta Azul is a MUST when staying in Roatan! They are unmatched in quality of service, charm, and convenience. The staff was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful with each step of our trip - ample pre booking questions, arranging excursions, coordinating transportation, providing recommendations (budgeting, food, shopping, activities both near and far, sunset views, airport and diving logistics, tips on avoiding crowds), etc. Puerta Azul is conveniently located in Sandy Bay, where breathtaking coral gardens are just an easy swim from the dock and it’s a quick drive to get anywhere else on the island. Beach towels, chairs, paddle boards, snorkeling gear, and kayaks are provided free of charge. Breakfast is also included, which, like all of their other meals, is delicious and served with a smile. The breakfast baleadas are a must! The clean, spacious rooms are of a charming modern island aesthetic. The rooms and the gardens are tended with care. The new dock is a perfect place for a photo op. Security staff is friendly and present throughout the night. Puerta Azul truly is at the heart of our unforgettable, amazing memories in Roatan! Can’t wait to come back!

Stop reading here and go directly to book your stay. You've stumbled on to a hidden gem on the island. We stayed here 2 weeks and really enjoyed ourselves. They have everything you need, Talia and her crew will attend to all your needs, from arranging excursion to reservations for dinner. Or, do as we did and just chill most of the time and eat at the restaurant on premise, Rose and her folks run an excellent kitchen. You can borrow the snorkeling gear and go right off the 400' long dock, or use one of thier kayaks and paddle about. They are just about a 10 minute ride in a "collectivivo" for $2 pp to the West End where there are many choices for food, drinks, and activities. The cabins are newish and clean have AC, comfortable bed, and a small refer for beverages and leftovers.

We spent 4 nights in this beautiful place! Very quiet private bungalow amidst lush green palm trees, directly at the beach. Amazing food (breakfast is included, but don’t miss out on lunch and dinner!). Staff is beyond helpful and super friendly. 100% recommend for a quiet time in paradise 💛

I just celebrated my 40th birthday with 4 other friends in Roatan and our stay at Puerta Azul made it so magical. We loved the beachfront accommodations, the incredible snorkeling and paddle board right off the dock, the delicious food and most of the assistance of Talia, the owner and operator of Puerta Azul, who seamlessly planned all our excursions. I cannot wait to come back with my husband and children who will most definitely love it as much as I did!

Staying at Puerta Azul was by far my best experience that I have ever had staying away from home. The property is absolutely beautiful with lush green plants and flowers surrounding many places to relax. The staff was extremely friendly and very happy to help with whatever it was we needed. The chef prepared the best meals we had from anywhere on the island which was nice not to have to leave the property to eat. I can't stress enough how good the food was! The room we stayed in was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable with nice linens. The internet seemed very reliable and pretty fast which is always a nice bonus if you are remote working. There is also a boat on the property that you can request to go out on for a small fee that will take you fishing or snorkeling. Or you can use the paddle boards or Kayaks that are offered by Puerta Azul! This place has it all! I will be back for sure! Thank you so much to the owner, Talia for making our stay memorable. You can tell she takes pride in her business!

Highly recommend Puerta Azul! Great secluded spot with wonderful management & food. Looking forward to returning in the near future!

If I could give a 10/10 for a hotel I would give it to Puerta Azul.

We stayed here 2 weeks and Talia and her staff made our experience amazing.

Best food on the island is cooked by her chef, Rosa. We went to lots of places to eat on the island no place tasted better than her cooking.

You can Snorkel to the second largest coral reef system in the world just a some minutes from the end of the pier. There's an octopus that lives below the pier. We saw tuna, puffer fish, queen angel fish, lion fish, just to name of a few.

Talia, also has an extensive roladex of trusted drivers/tour guides/businesses on the island that can make your stay customized to whatever you want.

She went above and beyond at every request and we are truly thankful.

Just as it is hard to capture the wonder and beauty of this property in pictures, so is it difficult to accurately describe in words. To put it shortly, the Puerta Azul is more than just a place. It’s a frame of mind, an oasis, and an adventure all-in-one that you must experience to truly comprehend. From the moment you step foot on the property, Talia makes certain you are treated like family. The rooms provide all the necessary comforts, from plush beds to extra beach towels, and are nestled in the jungle-like landscaping, with an extraordinary view of seemingly endless miles of calm ocean waters. The food is equally gourmet as it is home-cooked, and without a doubt, made with love using island traditions. The activities available are endless, including snorkeling, boat trips, exploring the reef, and so on. If there’s something you want to do or eat that isn’t available right there on the property, all you need to do is peruse the welcome packet that awaits you in your room, as it includes suggestions that have all been highly curated to provide only the most elevated of experiences. I can’t imagine anywhere else on this island I’d rather stay than at Puerta Azul, and the care and attention to detail that Talia and her team provide make you never want to leave.
