Hotel Los Corales

Overall, I was quite pleased with my 8-days stay at Los Corales. The room is big with a large storage unit to spread out your gear. It was equipped with a small refrigerator, super A/C, cable TV, excellent WiFi, hot water, and a sturdy double bed. Outside on the external hallway, there is a small table and chairs patio set, and 2 chairs for relaxing. The cable service was quite extensive including a few English language channels. The quality of the signal was rarely good however. The Wifi was solid and I was able to do video calls via WhatsApp almost every day. There is a microwave in the office which you can use whenever someone is present. The shower unit was nicely sized and though the hot water was slow to arrive, it was ample when it got there. The bathroom also had two fluffy towels which seemed new. The bed was ok with a firm mattress though the quality of the linen was mediocre. The room was serviced, I think, only once during my stay but the office staff are there all day should you require anything urgently I used the patio set for taking small meals and the large plastic chairs for reading. If you are on the south side, it does get very hot on a sunny day. There is lots of space to drag a chair into the room though. The A/C unit cools the room quickly. Though located right on the main road, I was not overly disturbed by traffic noise. The location is quite superb. It is only a 6-8 minute walk to the beach. Bring a flashlight though as the street are not well illuminated. Next door is the Petrosun service station which has an excellent coffee bar, a pizza place, a sub sandwich shop, plus all the groceries and drinks you might require. There is a Chinese restaurant on the ground floor which does enormous meal servings. My main issue was the poor lighting at night on the external hallway. This compounded by an absence of staff during the night, might put some travellers off. I would definitely consider them for a return visit.

Brand new hotel on the second floor of an artistic building. Close to the gas station with supermarket offering also cooked food (baleadas, pancakes, salads, etc). Short walking distance to west end Main Street and beach. Coffee offered at the reception. Taxi service on request. Free shuttle to their other property in West Bay (las Rocas hotel and dive centre). The rooms was clean and well equipped. Extremely kind staff. If you go to roatan because you love the sea, I suggest a boat tour to the est end (ours started from oaks ridge). The public bus stops by the gas station.
