Just spent a perfect week at Roatan Backpackers' Hostel in Sandy Bay. This was my third time staying at Mel's property on the island and each time has been absolutely incredible. The room was comfortable, bathroom was always tidy, and the communal kitchen always clean. Shared living spaces were great for meeting new people or just relaxing for a break from the hot, Honduran sun. Location is perfect, halfway between Coxen Hole (the airport) and West End for a fantastic balance between local & tourist feels. Plenty of great dining options nearby like Genesis's in the colonia & Elisabeth's down by the water. Anthony's Key beach within walking distance for those seeking an ideal snorkeling spot. Mel was always available via WhatsApp for any tips or advice one could need, and has been a huge help in the past assisting with local contacts (like SOL Foundation) for me to run programs alongside through my charity. Would 100% stay at Roatan Backpackers' Hostel again, and certainly looking forward to that day when it comes. Thanks, Mel!…

I initially reserved a private room for 2 weeks and then added a week. Mel built this hostel from the ground up and her devotion shows with grounds that are beautifully cared for. There a variety of room options and great hospitality from the staff, and of course Mel herself. Many unforgettable little parties with people from around the world even during Covid times. The communal kitchen was well stocked and a supermarket is around the corner as is a convenient restaurant serving up baleadas and burritas for cheap. I was looking for a place where i could access great snorkeling from the shore and I found it here. After a 5 - 10 minute walk, t's a brief relatively swim out to the reef at Sandy Bay and once there I saw pretty much everything at least once. It's wild snorkeling, you will not see other snorkelers. I will be back to do video work there. Thanks to Mel and staff.…

I stayed here for a week and it truly was the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Every one was so friendly. Mel who runs it is amazing. So informative and inviting. I caught a barracuda and she made a family meal for everyone that was delicious. The pool is amazing on the hot afternoons. The little restaurant on premise is very good as well. Multiple spots to hang out and meet people but quiet enough to get away of you want to. It is in a convenient location as well. Can't say enough. Hope to return soon

Great low price option compared to others on Roatan. Staff and owner were super friendly and helpful. Room was clean, WiFi was decent and pool was lovely. Only downside was it felt a bit far away from the busier beach areas but buses and taxis were easy to catch. Would recommend.
