We visit the island once a year. This property is located on the best area of the island. The house is a nice thrre rooms. Is fully equipment. the view is incredible. They have a lot of birds including humingbirds, parrots, macaws, pigeons. There is also some beautifull iguanas and the guatusas ( agoutis ). They have kayaks and you can get the reef in lees than 10 minutes . We enjoy a lot the beautifull reef. Is a perfect place for a 5 to 6 persons vacation. Close to the better restaurants.

Our two families stayed at the pink orchid for 5 nights, but we wish it had been longer. We loved turtle beach, the kayaks the owners let us use, the kitchen, the deck, the hammock, proximity to clearwater adventures diving, and the backup power system which kept our food and drinks cold even though the island had no power. Did i mention the views?? Just incredible! We loved it here. Better than any 5-star hotel.

The Pink Orchid was amazing. Not only for its location but also because it has one of the best deck in the neighborhood. And as a bonus, there is a shared dock with a beautiful palapa from where you can swim and snorkel but also catch a water taxi. The coral in the shallows is small but it is filled with life. It was an easy walk to a few restaurants nearby wich made it very convenient. But you can also walk to both busy and touristy areas: the walk to West Bay involve walking on an elevated bridge and the walk to West end involve a bit of rocks and maybe walk in shallow water at high tide. There is a lot of people walking it all day. Otherwise, the house is set perfectly above a cliff to watch the sunsets. The surrondings are lush with trees: coconut palms, date palms, mango trees and there is flowers everywhere you look! Like a botanical garden. The macaws visited us before every sunset. The house is amazingly well stocked and comfortable. There are spices for a lifetime and lots of kitchen tools if you need it: blender, ice cream maker, name it! Juan Carlos, the caretaker lives next door. He is very sweet and is always around to help. He brought us some fresh coconuts that he picked and prepared in front of us! The area is quiet and very pretty. It is like an oasis: you wont regret it!

Love “The Pink Orchid” - stayed here several times. The view of the water is panoramic with the turquoise water and boats moored 500 feet out. Picturesque with phenomenal sunsets. The palapa for the deck was awesome for providing shade from the Roatan sun. We loved to float, snorkel and kayak right from the shore. Amenities are wonderful for cooking, air conditioning when needed plus washer and dryer. The home is comfortable and well decorated with all the extras. The property is lush with foliage and flowering plants. Numerous decks to enjoying morning coffees and then evening sunsets! Loved it!

Beautiful home, stunning views and sunsets, snorkel off the dock and nearby, walk to excellent restaurants along the beach. We had daily visits from hummingbirds and colorful macaws. Easy to flag down a water taxi to go to West Bay or West End. We had a lovely snorkeling outing on the reef in a boat that anchored with us, only $10 each!! We loved it all!! Also, our caretaker Juan Carlos was delightful and always friendly and helpful. The owners were always responsive, and the other support staff were also excellent. We are so happy we chose The Pink Orchid. Also, we didn’t cook much but the kitchen was awesome and equipped with everything you need. Thanks for a delightful vacation!

We loved this property and it's location. We spent most days diving and touring the island, but coming back to the house for the sunsets was one of our favorite activities. Snorkeling in front of the house was awesome and I saw my first octopus, truly special! This house does not disappoint. We rented a car since this was our first visit, but would not rent one again, water taxis and regular taxis are readily available. Thanks again Al and Pam, we will be back!

The view was stunning, the house was pretty, and clean. Nothing else met or exceeded expectations. The description promises a fully equipped home with solar backup, phone, and unlimited internet. Only after you fully pay and it’s not refundable are you fully informed of the limits via email not on the site. You pay 1st world prices and get told you’re in a 3rd world when things don’t go to plan. If you need reliable amenities, don't count on them. I'm so sad and depressed after my stay. I can’t redo my vacation and it’s too precious to risk using a vrbo. We couldn't find the phone passcode it wasn’t in the book. It was in an email I couldn't access because the internet was out. Kayleen was onsite with the AC guys else we’d had no way to reach out. The NO GUARANTEE of minutes means 0, allows only emergency calls; on day 2 we got 10 minutes added. In Cambodia the hotel provided unlimited phone/internet for free. We needed internet or would have booked elsewhere. The Internet was cut off because the account credit card expired, not from an outage (my Columbian companion overheard them talking). Things happen; it's how you handle it. The Internet worked 2 hours out of the 6 days. The owner informed me I was in a 3rd world country. I've stayed in 10+ developing countries, had no problem and marvel at how much better, cheaper, and reliable it is to the US. In Thailand it’s $30 for giga bytes. Unlimited access for 2 weeks cost $8 in Honduras. Anything battery operated was dead. The in-room safe batteries too corroded to work, remotes and alarm fob too, the replacement batteries also corroded. Planned maintenance should be automatically done and not by me. The power went out 3 out of 5 nights for 9-10 hours at a time; solar only runs auxiliary lights, fridge, and fans and not much else. The description does not mention AC being unusable on solar; it reads like you will have power. You're going to be sweaty, hot, and uncomfortable. In August the rooms are 90+. The nearby hotels never lost internet, AC, or power. After paying you’re told the snorkel gear is AS-IS it means 1 set of fins with straps, 3 with no straps, two masks with straps 3 with broken straps, 1 working snorkel two that leak. On-demand hot water means only 1 source of use at a time, or you get only cold water. 3 showers and 1 water heater is poor planning. I got 1 hot shower out of 5. I asked to be moved, that wasn't an option. Just deliver what's promised and not amend after payment.

The Pink Orchid was perfect! All of the pictures and reviews were spot on, and the house was in an awesome location for us between west end and west bay. Diving with Clearwater was great, and we'd highly recommend them for certification/diving. All of the pre-arrival communication was extremely clear and helpful, and we felt like we were in great hands with Al and Pam. They think of every detail, and their house and the views are gorgeous. My only regret was that I didn't listen to Al's advice about cash on the island. I don’t like carrying cash, but it would have been much easier and less stressful if I just brought more cash from home since the ATMs were unreliable and frustrating. It’s all detailed in the pre-trip communications, but I just didn’t listen. Overall thins was one of the most relaxing and fun vacations we’ve had, and we would highly recommend staying Roatan and the Pink Orchid.

We had a wonderful time at Pink Orchid in June 2022. The house and surrounding is amazing!!! The house was very clean, well stocked in anything we needed and much more! The porch and covered dock was great! We walked the shore to West Bay and West End during the day, came back using water taxi that stops at Pink Orchid dock (so convenient!) - the location of the house was perfect for our family! And I think there is no other house in the area with such a beautiful view - breathtaking:) We also snorkeled off the dock and rented a kayak for snorkeling a little bit further. There is not even one thing I could complain about:) The property management was very carrying, informative and responsive. I highly recommend Pink Orchid house.

All the reviews that were written before mine are spot on! This place is amazing! Snorkeling right off the dock was sublime, scuba and snorkel at other sites was incredible and house is beyond perfect. The only fault I have is the walks to West End and West Bay. West Bay isn't a bad walk, but walking to the west end is pretty tricky. A decent portion of it is scrambling over rocks - probably not ideal for everyone. My husband has to use a cane that option was definitely out for him. We used a LOT of water taxis... be prepared to spend some money on that. Each trip was 20 bucks at least (5 a person) so we easily spent 40+ a day on water taxis. But after walking on West Bay beach I'd much rather be in this location!! Seriously, if you can find an availability book it now!!

The Pink Orchid was out of this world!!! The house was well stocked and the view was unbelievable. Can you imagine just snorkeling right off your dock? My entire family and friends loved loved the beautiful water and the ambience of this place. It was so neat to get around with a water taxi called Three Sisters. We had the same person pick us up everyday and bring us on adventures. We snorkeled, saw sea turtles, held monkeys and sloths, jumped off the 2nd level of Happy Harry's Hideaway and ate at Lunas a lot. We even walked along the shore many times. Be sure to bring water socks because of the tides. The owner is great because he is very quick at responding to questions. He even mailed my son's fitbit watch to MN because we forgot it behind the couch. We will definitely be back. Thanks Al

Our stay was fantastic. Our kids both got Advanced SCUBA certifications at Los Rocas. I was able to dive with them. My wife enjoyed snorkeling off the dock. My parents enjoyed walking the beach. Your location is ideal. House was great and well stocked. We appreciate the opportunity stay there and hope to return again. Thank you

This was our third stay in Roatan and our fourth of four different spots. If you are looking for a quiet , private place to stay centred between the energy and eats of West End and the perfect beach of West Bay…. This is it. The home itself is so well cared for, decorated in a wonderful beach theme. This was like staying in a good friends home. Well appointed with every appliance you would need, air conditioned to your taste, with the most beautiful gardens and sea views. We loved every minute here.

This house is lovely. It is halfway between west bay and west end, just a flagged-down water taxi away from anything you need yet perfect in its serenity & away from it all. Yes, we did fun trips and outings on the island, but by far our favorite times were watching the sunsets from the balcony, cooking in the well appointed kitchen, and snorkeling just out from the dock. A truly relaxing time. Thank you!

The location of this property was amazing. We could walk along the beach to two amazing restaurants and could even walk to West Bay if we wanted to or to West end along the beach. Driving to either was only 4-6 mins and the views/sunsets are incredible. A/C units were very cold and the reef (15 min paddle out) was one of the best I've ever snokeled on. We will be back.

Beautiful, beautiful property on the clear pristine waters of Roatan. Great snorkeling near the dock, and further out on the reef. Communication with owner was prompt with lots of detail and helpful information. The house is beautifully appointed. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The deck overlooking the sea is so worth it. Coffee in the mornings on the lounge chair as all kind of birds and lizards were singing and moving about was wonderful. Having a drink at sunset was another fantastic evening tradition. The snorkeling right off the dock was nice and taking the kayak out a few hundred yards to the bigger reef was a real treat. We really enjoyed the Pink Orchid!

A cup of Honduran coffee and a phenomenal view of blue-green water shimmering on the coral reef is the perfect way to start any day. That’s where I was with my bible every morning at five am to meditate on the beauty of Gods creation and how blessed I am to experience it. The Pink Orchid is situated in what seems to be the perfect location to access some of the best the island has to offer, not least of which is a completely unobstructed view of the water. The house is very clean and comfortable with enough room for the family. Both West End and West bay are an easy and beautiful stroll down the beach in either direction. Having never been to Roatan before, when we started exploring I quickly realized this house is possibly the best place to call home for a week.

This home has awesome views, unbelievable sunsets, at night the moon shines over the calm ocean like the cover of a romance novel. Fishing, snorkeling, and local visits made this a memorable visit.

The Pink Orchid is absolutely perfectly situated on a quiet beach midway between the tourist mecca of West Bay and the more mellow bistros/shopping of West End. We found walking to both easy, although budgeted 20-25 minutes to get to the parts of each we wanted (a little longer than others have estimated). The snorkelling right in front of the house was the most interesting we found in Roatan, with loads of interesting marine life. The deck and hammock are perfect, and the view from inside is also delightful. The house itself is very comfortable, well stocked and well maintained - just what our family of six needed for a relaxing holiday. We enjoyed reading the guest book with recommendations from previous guests, and would say all of them as well as those directly from the owners, were spot on. Thanks to Al and Pam for sharing their island home!

You can tell when owners have lived in their rental. There's the little things that make a big difference: clean sponge in the kitchen, full spice rack, extra blankets, etc. And the wrap around porch with the view! Airport pick up + stop at the grocery store on arrival was included. The Pink Orchid is ideally located about a 10 minute walk to West End and 20 minutes to West Bay. Entry to the water from the dock directly in front of the house is sandy, clear, and about chest high for easy access. You'll want a rental car if you aren't booking activities that include transportation. We do an island trip every year and this house suited the five of us perfectly!

Great location away from razzmatazz of West Bay and West End. Easy to walk to both however. Management company and owners communicated well and were a pleasure to work with. They were very attentive to our needs. We never did get the TV to connect to the wifii and with the rainy weather that would have been nice. A very minor detail for us as we enjoyed the diving immensely. We dove with Clearwater Adventures on the owner's recommendation. After the storm it took a while for the nice groundskeeper guy to clean up the beach. Lots of debris has washed up. Also, sadly, the island including this property had a lot of plastic trash around. Here, mainly because of the stormy weather. The litter does leave an impression however. Once the weather cleared we were better able to see the beauty of the property and it's landscaping of tropical plants. This garden work seemed unique to the surrounding area and I hope the owners keep planting. The dock and little beach area were private and we enjoyed morning swims from there ending the swim over the coral heads right off the dock.

As expected, the Orchid was clean, well stocked, and very functional. The locals that the owners recommended were exceptionally friendly, bilingual, and did everything they could to ensure a pleasant stay.

Beautiful home, fabulous location, nice owners. The house and the beautiful surroundings are just as pictured. We will go back to Roatan and when we do, we first will check to see if this house is open before searching anywhere else

We stayed at the Pink Orchid for two weeks in early September. What a great view of the ocean from the deck! The property is well stocked from the kitchen to beach chairs and more. We ordered in several wonderful meals from Blackie and Marty. For snorkeling and scuba, be sure to work with Denisse at Clearwater Adventure, just a very short walk down the beach toward West Bay (and she'll also teach you about the culture of the island). We enjoyed walking on the ocean edge to both West Bay and West End, though at high tide, this is a bit of an adventure (you will get your feet wet). Walk down to the cliffs at the end of West Bay and go snorkeling off the beach. It will be some of the best you've ever experienced. There are good restaurants in both West Bay and West End, and the two closest restaurants just down the beach toward West Bay - Ibagari and Lotus - were both excellent. Half way to West Bay, we sat out on the end of the pier and had another great meal and experience. When you walk down to West End, be sure to walk all the way through town and through the circle to the coffee shop/breakfast place (Sorry, can't remember the name). Even past that, its a nice walk and another coffee shop at the end of the town area. For grocery shopping, there are several shops in West End (and almost nothing in West Bay) as well as a shop for fresh produce. All in all, the Pink Orchid was a wonderful place for two weeks to get away. The main down side was going home!

Beautiful house! Very comfortable stay, my family and I loved it!

The owners were extremely helpful and attentive. They have a beautiful home to share and their location on the island is perfect. The reef in front of the house is amazing. We saw lobster, octopus, flounder, huge schools of fish and the coral is vibrant. We took the water taxi to either west bay or west end during the day, and even had one take us out to the reef further out from the pink orchid instead of using the kayak. The road transportation connections/relationships that the pink orchid offers deserves more star ratings if I could give more than 5. Marty Wood went above and beyond. We even booked a fishing charter with his son Reagan, Captn R Charters and Tours. Reagan is the fish whisperer. You could tell he knew where and how to catch fish. We caught 2 Mahi Mahi and Tuna. They took us to a resort for a shore lunch where they cooked our tuna for us, and we snorkeled a ship wreck. It was the most memorable day of our trip, and Reagan and Eder’s friendly company made it even more enjoyable. We found everything to be super easy on the island thanks to the owners and their connections. Do not hesitate to reserve this vrbo. The accommodations in either west bay or west end are packed with people and music is loud but those locations are fun and easy to visit during the day.

Friends and I try to get to the Pink Orchid towards the end of every cold dreary winter up here in the Pacific Northwest. On the island the sun, time out fishing, snorkeling, sightseeing, golfing at the Black Pearl, etc. is such a welcome change. Island people are very friendly and accomodating. The staff attending to the Orchid are even more so. Can't say enough good things - we have been down to Roatan many times and hope to return many more.

The house was very roomy and clean. This section of the west side is quiet. The staff is very helpful. Juan is a hard working man who came by with fresh coconuts and opened them to give us fresh coconut and coconut water. The house is right on a nice beach with a pier to hail water taxis. In a great location between West End and West Bay. If we went back we would definitely try to go back to rent this home

my guests were overwhelmed by the natural beauty, the scope of the views, and the very, very relaxed atmosphere.

Beautiful property with spectacular views! We loved everything about our stay at the Pink Orchid, from the amazing sunsets every night to the delicious food we enjoyed on the island. It was a perfect paradise and we would go back in a heartbeat!

It is the second time we book the Pink Orchid, and again it met all our expectations. Indeed, the location is great and the view is just amazing. You benefit from the quietness of the place but only a 10 min walk / 5 min boat ride away from West Bay and West End. The house is very comfortable and has all the equipment you could need. It provides also some snorkeling equipment and a canoe and paddles. Barbecuing on the deck is wonderful, and you can choose to eat inside with the comfort of the air conditioning or on the terrace facing the sea. You can go snorkeling right in front of the house (we saw a little murene eel the other day), or take the canoe and reach the coral reef that is shallow enough to see many many fish without the need of tanks. If you want to try proper diving, we can recommend you the Denisse dive shop Clearwater just down the beach (very practical!). Denisse is just great with the kids. Finally, Pamela and Alfred (the owners of the Pink Orchid) were always very responsive and very nice, it was a pleasure to rent from them!
