3BR villa in Roatan

Whale Home, Sleeps 6, 2 Decks w/AMAZING OCEAN VIEW - Villas for Rent in West Bay, Bay Islands, Honduras

We absolutely loved Turtle Beach Dive!! It's was perfect for our family vacation. The location is everything, it was right in the middle of West Bay and West End. We were easily able to walk to both areas. The water taxi's and tours pick you up right from the dock, makes it so nice and stress free!! It was so nice and peaceful, and not crowded at all. The owners and everyone that works there were super friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for a better place to stay!! We will 100% recommend!!

Our week at Turtle Beach Dive Resort was one of our favorite family vacations. The resort is located between West Bay & West End and has its own private beach and dock. Our villa was perfect for our group of five and it was an absolute delight to have the macaw family to feed on our upper deck in the mornings! Upon booking, I got an email confirming my reservation and information from Paul's (the owner) staff assuring me there would be a driver to pick us up from the airport to take us to the grocery store and then on to the resort. This was fantastic! We picked up provisions for the week and were met by Paul in person when we arrived. He gave us a tour of the resort and was full of information and ideas for us. We spent the week on the beach, snorkelling right from the shore at Turtle Beach (what a treat), shopping and snorkelling in West End, and laying on the beach and snorkelling West Bay. Roatan is truly a little-known paradise and the best snorkelling we've ever experienced!

Our family had a wonderful time at the resort! We loved feeding the macaws, walking the beach, meditating in peace, and listening to all the birds. We really appreciate the kindness offered to us by Paul and his staff. They went above and beyond! The house was perfect for 6 adults. We recommend this fabulous resort if you want to be where you can access the town and the beautiful beaches while enjoying nature and its beauty every day! This was a Christmas to remember!

Fantastic stay in Whale. We had all the comforts of home with a gorgeous sea view. The property is well taken care of and the staff are friendly and helpful. The location is also perfect right in between west end and west bay. 5 minute water taxi either way. Can’t wait to go back !

Amazing experience, my family had a blast!

Loved our stay at turtle beach dive resort. Perfect location away from the busy-ness of west bay and west end. Loved the beach and relaxing hammocks. Truly a piece of paradise! Thank you Paul, Maria, Steve and Laurie

We had a wonderful stay in the Whale house at Turtle Beach for our first visit to Roatan. The entire property is immaculate! Paul is a fantastic host - always asking guests if they need anything or stopping for a chat during his busy days. His resort is so beautifully decorated and well-kept. Everyone in our party commented on discovering the small touches in every corner of the property. Turtle Beach location is perfect, on a quiet section of beach, yet within walking distance of bars/restaurants/West Bay. And so easy to catch a water taxi from the dock. We felt so safe - day and night - walking the beach and taking water taxis after dark with our group without hesitation. 100% recommend staying here with family or friends for a weekend or for a season - it's absolutely perfect.

The Bird House/Whale house was everything we hoped for our stay in Roatan! The house was so clean and the Macaws were a fun bonus. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. We dove with Clearwater Dive Shop just next door and the experience was unmatched!

This place is absolutely beautiful! We didn’t want to leave! Paul was super helpful and we loved all of his recommendations. They did not disappoint. He was so responsive when we had questions. Maria and all the staff go above and  beyond taking care of the property and villas. The Whale house was the perfect villa for us because we loved feeding the macaws every morning and evening. It truly is a magical place and we hope to be back!

This was just a 'one night stop-over' for us on our way to Utila, but we will DEFINITELY be back for a longer stay!! Turtle Beach is a very unique place like no other I've experienced. You could spend hours just walking the property and admiring the thoughtful details throughout; the woodwork, the lighting, the murals, the stonework.... Everywhere you turn there is something that makes you go 'WOW!'. The setting couldn't be more perfect to have exactly they kind of vacation you are looking for. Laurie provided us with every detail necessary to ensure a smooth arrival, we literally didn't even have to think. The driver (Rigo - LOVED HIM!) picked us up from the airport, took us to the grocery store (where he graciously helped us with everything), and made sure we were all settled in before he left us at our destination. Cannot say enough about how much we loved this place. Can't wait to come back for a proper stay! What an amazing piece of paradise you've built!!

Our group of 6 (2 couples each with a teen, who are friends) had a great time staying at Turtle Beach. We loved feeding the macaws every morning, having easy access to 2 pools which would be sunny or shaded depending on the time of day, snorkeling outside the resort, and cooking in the communal kitchen. There are a variety of great restaurants in walking distance or via quick water taxi. Paul had great recommendations for local tours, and was very easy to communicate with when we had questions and issues.

I hesitate to write this only because I don’t want it to be booked next time we come… We found this place by chance, a family of five interested in doing different things. This is the perfect spot, everything you need. Incredibly welcoming and friendly hosts (and their friends!). Everything you need is around you, including karaoke night. Safe, relaxing, walkable, accommodating, all the best things. We don’t tend to revisit the same places when we vacation but we will definitely be back. Oh! And who can forget Rose! The newest star employee of this perfect little resort. Thanks gang, you made our little family trip so special. And PS- Becca is ready for a cornhole rematch!

Don't hesitate to book! We came for a ladies trip and the Bird House/Whale House was just perfect. We loved being able to walk and kayak to West End and West Bay but discovered we preferred staying close to Turtle Bay over the more populated areas. Paul, Rosa and all the staff were so welcoming and helpful. The snorkeling right off the beach is good, and even better a 10 minute kayak ride away at the reef. We did a lot of diving, snorkeling, and cultural touring with Clearwater (2 minutes walk down the beach) and loved every second. There are several restaurants nearby for lunch/dinner, and we stocked up on breakfast staples at the grocery on our way in. Pick up at the airport was smooth and easy, and Paul arranged our ride back to the airport with no trouble at all. The house itself is lovely and we enjoyed the morning and evening macaw visits! The upstairs bathroom is "open air" so whoever stays up there will want to be comfortable with that-no problem at all for our group. Loved it!

What a great locations. Kids loved it, great recommendations. Paul was helpful and set us up with local people to take us where we needed to go. Everyone wants to come back just have to figure out when.

We are sooooooo glad!!!  Thank you for the great review and for staying with us.  We look forward to having you back!

Awesome location and beautiful place. Paul, his wife and Rosa were very nice and helpful. Will be back!

We are so happy to hear that!!  Thank you for the great review.   And so happy you had a great trip!

The best place to stay in Roatan! Close enough from the action but you get you own quiet beach. Easy 15-20 min to busy west bay. An ez taxi boat ride to west end. The place is amazing, it has everything you need, games, paddle board, kitchen etc. People deliver fresh seafood and veggie upon request. - diving with Clearwater diving, 1 min walk form turtle beach. Amazing place et qualified staff. Great location, boats and équipement. - transport with Rigo pick you up at the airport, stop at a very big grocery store. - water taxi and fishing with big John! We count over 20 fish in only 4 hours. Jack fish/tuna/snapper. We’ll decently be coming back.

THANK YOU!!!  Loved having all of you!  So glad you had so much fun!  Thank you for the detailed review.  It really helps people! Can't wait to see you again!

Turtle beach dive resort is a hidden gem! Beautifully maintained, most friendly service and fantastic location! We walked to everything, restaurants and zip lining. They have kayaks, SUPs and snorkel gear for your use which is terrific because you can go anytime. Paula and crew made the difference for us!

Turtle Beach is good fun, great accommodation overlooking the beach with the best service.

What a great place to stay.  Three couples for a week.  If only the weather would have been a little more cooperative.   The resort had everything you need.   We stayed in the Whale House and had great views of the reef.   The other guests were very friendly.  The place has a kitchen, but then they also have an outside kitchen which was very fun to use.  We found ourselves all over the resort. At times we hung out at the end of the dock, or the community kitchen, our own deck,  the pool area, the beach or the sky view deck for sunsets.  Paul, Mary, Larry and Rosa were great.  They made you feel like asking for something was their pleasure.  Please if you rent this place, let them help with transportation to and from.   We really liked the location, about ½ way between West End and West Bay Beach.  Walking to West Bay Beach is much easier.   All in a safe area of friendly locals.   The only thing I would like to see improved is the mattresses.   This place is not upscale luxury, it is more like upscale cabin with great views.  They right next door to diving and snorkel shop, Clearwater Adventures who does an awesome job.  The easy of walking out the door to go snorkeling was very nice. 

Paul, Larry, Mary, Rosa, Carlos, and Denisse all worked together to create a high level of hospitality.  One day I was trying to get a water taxi to Anthony's Key.  Carlos noticed that I was having trouble and brought over Rosa to help me out.  I did not have to seek out help.  I got a solution to my problem without having to ask.  I really appreciated that Mary brought me groceries from Coxen Hole so I wouldn't  have to make a special trip.  Denisse was a wonderful snorkeling host.  It was great to have lunch at Crawfish Rock and meet the locals.  Overall, staying at Paul's place was a great experience.

Incredibly beautiful place. So relaxing, everything you need (except the mosquitos but they were everywhere in the island) we were very happy with Paul’s hospitality. Marry, Larry, Carlos and Rosa were great too. I’m not sure if I’m going to be back in Roatan but if I do, I will definitely come back to this place. Thank you for everything

This place is amazing!!!!! The house and beach are so clean and well maintained! Paul, the owner, was fabulous. He scheduled transportation to and from the airport for us. The drive took us to the grocery store to load up before taking us to the house. When we arrived paul was there waiting to greet us and gave us a wonderful tour of the house, grounds, and beach. The rental included paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear and floats - all of which you would have to rent anywhere else. The reef is just a short kayak from the beach and offers amazing snorkeling right there!!! I highly recommend Turtle Beach to anyone looking to have a fabulous time on vacation .  

Liz, thank you!!!  You are your group were so great to have with us!  Thank you for the kind review.  You were easy to take care of!

What an amazing vacation we had at Turtle Beach!  Paul is an phenomenal host - whether it was help figuring out how to work the fans, a ride to the grocery store or a sightseeing tour, he seemed to always be available for whatever we needed.  He's put together a great  team of people who make the resort function really well - Rosa will do your laundry or cook you a meal, Tommy will run errands for you, Javier has a roomy van for rides to the airport or a tour around the island, and Denisse (we were super impressed with her dive instruction and attentiveness) runs the dive shop on the property.  The house worked really well for our two families with 3 teenage girls.  The kitchen was well-appointed making it easy to make meals at home.  The covered decks were a great retreat from the sun or rain.  We spent a lot of hours on the beach reading and enjoying the scenery with an occasional dip in the water to cool off.  We were surprised to find that there was decent snorkeling just off shore.  The complimentary snorkel gear, floaties and kayaks were much appreciated by our group!  I would highly recommend a stay at Turtle Beach - it's a much quieter alternative to West End or West Bay but with easy access to both by water or land taxi or a 15 minute walk on the beach.

Hi Amy, I was sorry to see you go it was a pleasure having your families here. I will try to push some sunshine and warmer weather your way. Paul

We were greatly received by Paul and he made everything possible to make our stay relaxing. the house was clean, cosy and big enough, and the environment is beautiful. we had a great vacation and they made new years eve a special moment for all. the diving company that runs with Paul is very professional, great people, especially Denise.
