Detailed Reviews
I have just returned form my first trip to Roatan and stayed at Posada Arco Iris for
seven nights with my friend. The one bedroom accommodation had a double bed in the bedroom and one in the main room. We had a kitchenette with full dishware. The room was on the second level "in the treetops" with a view of the beach and sunset. Everything was spotlessly clean. The deck on the front had table, chairs, and hammock.
All staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and wanted to ensure a perfect stay. They arranged for airport transfers, bottled water for the room, and Covid testing on sight. These all were at minimal cost.
The location is perfect allowing you to walk to all of the West End businesses or take a water taxi to West Bay for $6pp r/t. Beach in front of the property is small but clean. There is a small store next to the hotel for basic needs.
I highly recommend this cute, clean, quaint, and adequate lodge when you visit Roatan.

Great location, only 1 minute from the beach and close to lots of bars & restaurants. We had a one bed apartment which was spacious with another double bed in the kitchen living area. On the verandah we had a hammock and table/chairs. There are free sun loungers on the beach & kayaks for guests of the apartments. 12% discount at the Argentinian Grill next to the the apts which served excellent food. Reception will arrange airport pickups/drop offs for 20$.

Beautiful hotel and very clean hotel !!!! I just spent one month at this hotel , we had a studio who was included a mini fridge and 4 gaz burners. This very clean hotel they were changing our towels every days. That was quiet as well and what I really like as well we had a private beach with longs chairs . This hotel is really close by walking distance to every resto, small kisque of vegetables & fruits , boutique , bar , grocery store. We really love the areas very safe as well you can walk at night time without any problems !!!! I have been travel around the world and Roatan became very high in my countries list. Really love it... the beach is very clear and super clean .

We are repeat guests with this being our 4th stay at Hotel Posada Arco Iris but felt we needed to review again as its our first visit since the pandemic when we had to return home part way through our stay.
The hotel is still providing the excellent accommodation and facilities that we are used to and expected, yes it is not a high end hotel but what it is, is a genuine experience.
We chose a sea view room this time and whilst this does not come with a small kitchenette we were able to make a cup of coffee or tea. The room was large, airy and clean, and it was great to sit on the balcony in the setting sun.
The jewel in the crown of the Posada Arco Iris is the staff, from reception to those that have the thankless task of cleaning they are all so friendly and helpful.
We used the restaurant [Argentinian Grill] several times during our stay and again the staff are what make this place the best experience possible in addition to the great food available.
Already booking for 2024 and would highly recommend this hotel for those looking for a fine hotel in a great location with genuinely nice staff.

This was our 3 rd time staying here, the staff is so friendly. When we arrived we realized we got a room with out a/c my husband asked if we could change, we had a new room immediately. The restaurant offered 12% off and was absolutely amazing. We were walking distance from everything. The reason we love this place is that it was so clean. It is like staying in a tree house, the birds are so joyful to listen to. Karolina is so wonderful to work with and very responsive when I emailed her. We will definitely be back again.

Posada Arco Iris is a paradise, jungle getaway. Wonderful, attentive professional staff. The rooms are located in a beautiful garden setting, steps from the sea. The attached restaurant has delicious local food as well as Argentinian specialties. On site dive shop. Cannot say enough kind words regarding the staff. Everyone from the groundskeepers , housekeepers and especially the management go above and beyond to ensure a great stay. It's like staying in Tarzan's jungle house. A true delight!!!

Omg I loved this place. The rooms were clean and had great AC. We had the kitchenette which was perfect for cooking fish we caught on tours. We had a big group of 11 people and we each got our own place.
The hotel has a good restaurant with really nice staff. It is in front of the half moon bay with complimentary kayaks. There is tons of different food options with in walking distance of the hotel.
Skip sundowners and walk to cannibal cafe, cheap food and beer.
We loved our stay and would highly recommend the hotel! Thanks Posada!

What can I say? Posada Arco Iris is a haven in a world filled with madness. From the first time I saw this place (15 years ago) it was love at first sight. Centrally located on Half Moon Bay in the West End of Roatan it offers old world charm and charisma. The setting is reminiscent of the long lost Caribbean. Nestled steps from the sea in a verdant jungle: vines, trees, plants and Roatan bunnies. The rooms are spacious, restful and just lovely. Staff are warm, welcoming and so helpful. I've traveled the Caribbean far and wide from 5 star hotels to hostels and there is no place I would rather be than Posada Arco Iris and the lovely island of Roatan. Bonus is the Argentinian Grill is located on property with great food, ambience and a spectacular view of the sea.

this is a great location but when i was there around Nov, i was given the last room on the row by the trees, and when it rained, frogs came out after dark and made the loudest noises ever, it sounded like hundreds and thousands of clowns honking behind your window. at first i thought it really was somebody trying to be funny, then i realized they were frogs. Then the neighbor's dogs were going at it every night, and nobody would shut them up or take them inside. what a nightmare. beside this and not having a coffee machine in your room, it was a nice, clean room. staff are friendly. would i stay there again, more than likely no. not if i can't get any sleep.

Ours was a very basic room with one double and one twin bed, both comfortable.. Air conditioning, a small refrigerator, clean. Shared deck with a table and 2 chairs for each unit, which we used a lot to drink the inexpensive beer from the grocery store next door. 1 minute walk across the street to a great beach, half moon bay. Bring earplugs as West End is noisy, lots of barking dogs at night.

Yes you can snorkel off the beach. However if you want amazing snorkeling when you leave the hotel walk to the left and follow the beach to the far end (short walk 5-10 minutes). Swim out 100 feet and you will see spectacular Fish, coral, and plants. This section is separated by buoys to keep boats away from the reef and snorkelers. Another option is to swim at a 45° angle to the right from leaving the hotel toward the piers that the fishing boats use. The fisherman toss scraps into the water and that tracks all sorts of fish around the pier. Guaranteed excitement and fun. Apparently there is a sunken boat further off the shore in that area but we did not find it. The snorkeling is 1000 times better than Hawaii or anything in Florida. It’s just much cleaner and less damaged by people. Have fun, we sure did.
I am not familiar with the "family room". In all the rooms we stayed in, there was a queen bed and a single, but all one room.
Hotel offers transportation and from the airport for person is $ 15 and 2-4 people $ 20...thank you
