We stayed at Vivaro Beachfront in March 2023 and it was amazing! Property owner was very responsive and provided great information in advance of trip. Property manager Matt was outstanding - his recommendations on diving, boat charter and restaurants were tailored based on us our interests and he checked in with us routinely during our stay to make sure all was good. The house was in excellent condition, beds were comfortable, nice linens and plenty of towels, kitchen with all you need, and a fantastic grill. The pool, beach, and grounds were in great condition. If you’re traveling to an island, you have to be prepared that the unexpected may happen. In our case, there was an extended (5 hour) power outage across the entire west end of the island and Matt kept us updated during the outage, had extra candles and flashlights delivered, and ensured the backup power system was functioning properly during the duration of the outage. That level of attention to the guests and their needs is representative of the service you receive at Vivaro and what makes it such a wonderful place to stay. Book it and have a wonderful stay!!

Vivaro is a gem of a house with everything you could ask for in a vacation rental. We are a family of four with 2 young kids and stayed here for a week. The property manager Matt was great and answered all our questions before arrival. The house is very large with plenty of room for two families. The pool and beach were amazing. The reef with incredible marine life is only a short swim from the house (close enough that our 7 year old could reach it). The house was stocked with snorkel gear, pool toys and stand up paddle boards. The staff kept everything clean and well maintained throughout our stay. We loved the fresh coconuts they cut down for us to drink each day. Swimming with the dolphins at Anthony's Key, glass bottom boat tour in West End and the East End boat tour (arranged by Matt) are must do's while in Roatan. The driver Marty was great and always available even on short notice. Chef Blackie cooked dinner for us twice during our stay. Food was delicious and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. The owners truly care about the quality of your stay and checked in with us multiple times. If you are looking for a house to stay while in Roatan look no further!

We stayed with 12 people at the Vivaro house over Christmas. While the house was fabulous - held all of us well, beautifully set, lovely outdoor/indoor living, had all the amazing amenities... it was the people who helped make our stay special. Matt: manages the house and helped us with everything from WIFI to dinner recos to night snorkeling booking. Always with patience and a smile. Marty: drove us everywhere we needed to go even at short notice and made logistics so easy. He was happy to share stories about himself, his family, and his country. We loved riding with him. So easy to be with and so genuinely helpful. Chef Blackie: Marty's wife and also an amazing chef came and cooked up a wonderful Xmas eve meal for all of us. The snapper melted in our mouths. The women who cleaned the home: So kind and so thorough. They came pretty much every other day and you'll soon find that a "light" cleaning means they've literally done everything. Always willing to work around our selves and our schedules. I'd say the only con for us was that we couldn't walk anywhere from the house. The road in was not paved and somewhat flooded (could be different in different seasons) so we always had to catch a ride and could never just "meander." BUT I'd do it all over again.

This is a perfect house for a large group. Everything is modern and clean. The grounds are stunning. Pool and outside areas are great. It's just as good, or maybe better, than the pictures make it seem. The owners and managers are friendly and responsive. We will definitely be back. Side note: Reef Gliders dive shop will pick you up on the dock and return you at the end of the day for just $5 per diver. This takes much less time, is more beautiful and is much less costly than the bumpy ride into the West End. (I'm sure other dive shops would as well - but we really enjoyed reef gliders)

W had a great 4 night stay at Vivaro Oceanfront. Marty, the driver who works with Vivaro, met us at the airport. He was a great and drove us around all week (comms via WhatsApp). From there, it was a 15 minute drive to the house, where we met Matt the caretaker/concierge who lives next door. The house is beautiful just like the pictures. Check out the 3-level bunk room - I guarantee kids would love it! There is AC everywhere, but we only used it in the bedroom, mostly at night. The pool was as beautiful as advertised, and looks due west over Mangrove Bight which was great for sunset purposes. There’s a large covered dining table outside, as well as a number of lounge chairs and couches. There are steps from the pool area down to the beach, as well as an outdoor shower and bathroom. The reef in Roatan is very close to the shoreline and much healthier and vibrant than we've seen other places! As the house is on a bit of an inlet, it’s maybe 200 yards from the house beach to the reef, which can be a bit of a swim. However, if you have rent kayaks, there’s a great place to “park” your kayaks if you look out from the house beach to the right where the mangroves meet the “ironshore”. There’s a small inlet/cove in the ironshore that protects your kayaks from moving/drifting away, so you can paddle out there, drop off the kayak(s), then swim maybe 30 yards to the reef at the entrance to Mangrove Bight. The night we arrived, Marty’s wife Loretta (who goes by Chef Blackie) came over to make us a delicious meal of coconut fish, conch fritters, red beans and rice, veggies and key lime pie - highly recommend! The next day, Matt had arranged for a half-day private snorkeling trip with Marty’s son, Regan ($425 - worth every cent). He has a new boat and picked us up directly on the house’s private dock - awesome coral and marine life. We snorkeled with dolphins at Anthony's Key. Matt was also able to set up a last minute Discover Scuba Dive afternoon with Reef Gliders in West End (training, a demo dive/skills test in Half Moon Bay, then an actual 55 minute private dive for my wife and I down to 40 feet in the reef). The people there were great and it seemed like a very good deal - $110/person and we were the only ones there. Moral of the story is that I’d highly recommend staying here. The pictures in the postings are completely accurate and everyone involved was very easy to communicate with. Thanks Matt, Marty, Loretta and Regan! I

Great house with amazing views. Make sure you use Marty to drive you around and Chef Blackie for some dinners and breakfasts!

Booked this home for my family of nine, wanting everyone to have their own space as we are all adults, ages18 and up. Three of the bedrooms were identical and the fourth room with the bunks and loft worked perfect for my teenage daughters. Beds and linens were very comfortable. The living room and kitchen were spacious for us to cook together and gatherings during the day. We weren’t able to swim in the beach there as we visited during the rainy season and the water was quite mercky on that side, but the pool was perfect. Marty had a van large enough to fit us all and accommodated all of our transportation needs. We hired his wife, Blackie, to come into the house two times during our week stay to cook dinner. The food was amazing! It was really nice coming home at the end of a full day to dinner cooked and clean up done. Communication between the home owners and the manager was fast and responsive. They were a great resource when we had questions about the area and places we should visit. Recommend eating at Gingers and Crisp, massages at Spa Baan Suerte and diving at Reef Gliders.

The property was beautiful and we were well taken care of. The property manager and staff did an amazing job. The island has the best snorkeling and sunsets! We had a perfect view every night. Make sure to stop at the Roatan Brewery (we went twice) for a relaxing afternoon of great beer and food.

The house and Roatan Island was a vacation experience you don’t want to miss. Can’t wait to go back! The location of the house is convenient to activities but private while there. The driver Marty is absolutely fabulous. He was available when we needed him and provided local information we needed to enjoy our stay. We enjoyed Chef Blackie for breakfast and dinner several times. Jerome, Greg and Darwin made a day on the water with Ruthless Charters a must.

Beautifully maintained home and grounds with view to die for. Private pool and beach with good reef for snorkeling a short swim out. Also walking distance, like 5 min., to great PADI dive shop, Octopus Dive School. Great people who know their business, thanks Nuria. Andria and Matt, who manage the property, live next door and are ready to help with answers to all of your questions. Also, great people who know their business. Thanks for making our stay such a delight.

On our first stay at Beachfront with the family a year ago, we all agreed that the house was perfect. This time my wife and I returned with 3 other couples and all agreed again that the house, pool, beach, reef and everything else was again perfect. Having said that I must add that the staff is what makes this place extra special. Matt and Andrea (the managers) keep everything in tiptop shape. They are also almost always available to help with any questions or plans you may want help with. Both are super friendly and very knowledgeable about the Island. Mary did a great job keeping the place very clean and Gerson and his brother had the grounds and pool in perfect condition every day. Marty, our driver for the week, is the man. Always on time, never in a rush, and fun to be with. His wife Chef Blackie cooked delicious food for us on two nights. And last but certainly not least, Tanya the owner spends a lot of time in Roatan is is full of great information. Most of it can be found on the web site. I can't wait to go back, sit on a pool lounger drinking a frozen pina colada and watching the beautiful sunsets. Side note. Beware of the no see ums. We had none on our first visit but this time 3 of the ladies got bitten up. Apparently they don't like men.

Tanya and Matt were great. Beautiful property. Very clean and easy process!

We rented the Vivaro Roatan Beachfront to celebrate my 60th birthday with our 4 children, their partners and 4 grandchildren. Marty picked us up from the airport and said that the villa was even nicer than the photos and he was right on! The layout of the villa was perfect with all the bedrooms away from the main living area so babies going to bed early weren't disturbed by rousing late night card games and early morning risers. A large great room opening out to several covered seating areas provided plenty of space for our large group to spread out. The dining table fit everyone as we were treated to several wonderful dinners prepared by Chef Blackie. Mornings began with a Paddleboard/ group swim out to the reef for some amazing snorkeling. The umbrella covering the shallow end of the pool was great for the babies and sun conscious adults as well. Plentiful beach towels, soft sheets and fluffy white bath towels were appreciated by all. We made many trips into west end - an easy drive and not a bad walk either. Walked some mornings just up the main road to Fresh for coffee and baked goods. The location was great, far enough from the busy West End main drag, but easy drive distance to many attractions. Tanya, Tiffiny, Matt and Gerson responded quickly to any questions and helped us prepare beforehand for all the great adventures. Marty helped us explore the island and knew all the right places to go! A perfect place for large families or four couples since each of the master suites are lovely.

Beautiful home breathtaking view. Gerson was great at taking care of the grounds and pool daily. Marty the driver was always prompt and very patient with us when we did our 1st grocery trip after leaving the airport. Loved the outdoor seating. We spent so much time outside. Kitchen was well equipped. Had everything the chefs needed to take care of us. Would definitely recommend vivaro beachfront!

I was looking for a place large enough for two families (13!people) with kids aged 7 - 18. I also wanted it on the beach with off shore snorkeling. This place was perfect. The pool was fantastic for the smaller kids and the reef was amazing. The house is in a small cove. If you swim across it to the channel you can get past the small barrier reef and see amazing sea life without chartering a boat. I went snorkeling several times a day and saw, lionfish, barracuda, rays, puffers, angelfish, giant crabs, moray eels (green and spotted) to name a few. For me that was the best part. I saw more fish here than at West Bay and without the crowds. Just keep a heads up for passing boats. We towed one of the paddle boards with us to increase visibility to boats. For those that weren't wanting to snorkel three times a day, the beach and pool were great. The house is spaciousness and well maintained. The grounds and house cleaners are thoughtfull. Matt, the property manager is next door and very kind/helpful. We reserved a large rental van, but Sixt was closed when our delayed flight arrived (6 pm) but Marty was there to help us. Not having a rental van turned out being a blessing as Marty was amazing. So kind and accommodating. I feel like a better human being having spent the week in the van with him. Ahis wife, Lorettta, has a local restaurant and was he cooks the best coconut shrimp we have ever tasted. We also did Ruthless boat tour. It was fairly priced and a great experience fishing, snorkeling and visiting the Garifuna community. Tanya is also great to work with from the office and very responsive. A con on Roatan for me is the expectation of tips at every turn. I got the strong impression that workers in Roatan are very reliant on tips and that employers essentially expect you to tip their workers for doing their jobs (pay their workers for them). That got old quick, but I couldn't help tipping as it's their livelihood. We would go back. Highly recommended.

We had 7 wonderful days in this beautiful home. The bay was calm enough for swimming and the kids we even able to get out to the reef. Marty, Matt, and the rest of the crew were great help in navigating the home and the island. Plenty of room and the kids loved the bunk room. Would highly recommend the home to groups of families as there is plenty of room for everyone.

This is our second time visiting Roatan and staying at the Vivaro house. We can not say enough amazing things about not only Roatan, but our stay at the Vivaro Home. Tanya was helpful and accommodating from start to finish from booking our trip, to answer questions we had. She responded quickly and efficiently and helped us with everything we needed. Matt the on-site caretaker was always helpful as well. All details were always up to perfection, and they were extremely helpful if there was ever anything that needed to be fixed. Our families not only felt safe, but constantly taken care of by the entire staff at Vivaro. Marty, Chef Blackie and Chef Junior, honestly felt like family. Our kiddos never wanted to leave because of the amazing hospitality we felt while staying. We will definitely be there back for a third, fourth, fifth and many more times. We loved Roatan and Vivaro and can’t wait to return. For sure memories that we will all remember forever. Thank you Tanya and the entire team. It’s a trip we talk about daily to our friends and family who have not been lucky enough to come and visit you!!!

Vivaro was everything we hoped it would be! It is just as you see in the pictures. The property is spacious and there was plenty of room to spread out and everyone have their space, yet it was still very easy to enjoy each others company and all be together. The main level indoor/outdoor space blended seamlessly. Sun, shade, sand, pool, ocean, lounging, paddleboarding, eating, napping....whatever you want, Vivaro provided at your fingertips. Tanya's suggestions were top notch! We followed her advice on many activities and restaurants and were never disappointed, in fact we felt everyone went above and beyond to make our experiences 5 star. Matt, the property manager, and Marty, the driver, were outstanding! We had Chef Blackie come to the house and make us dinner and it was quite the treat and we enjoyed leftovers the next day We highly recommend having her cook for you! Everyone in our group loved Roatan and we will definitely stay at Vivaro when we return!

We recently stayed at Vivaro beachfront and had our family stay. We eloped right on the beach using Weddings Roatan. The entire experience was great. Vivaro had the place immaculate and answered any questions we had about the island and helped us arrange transport, catered dinners, restaurant recommendations, and testing. I cannot say enough about our family vacation and wedding.

The beach-front home was amazing, and the beach was beautiful! Our family had a wonderful vacation.

Our group of 4 couples stayed at Viva Roatan Beachfront in Oct 2021 (after rescheduling from Oct 2020 due to COVID). We have been to 10+ Caribbean Islands and the reason we picked this house was because we all 4 had equal bedrooms with kings and en suite bathrooms. It did help that the views were fantastic and all the people we worked with were more than accommodating. We used Marty several times to drive us to different locations, Blackie (his wife) cooked an amazing dinner 1 night and Reagan (his son) took us on his boat to West End. Matt, the house manager, was also very helpful. Several of us love to walk so we walked to West End and West Bay almost every day. You can actually cut over to the beach at the end of West End and walk on the beach/and rocks all the way to West Bay. It is somewhat of an adventure but fun and there is a bridge that crosses the canal at one point. The views are amazing as well. The walk is about 3.5 miles (have a drink at Bananarama), then we were able to get various water taxis back to the dock at the house for $5/person. We tried the local brewery (Matt also works there) and Ginger's for an NFL game and Happy Harry's for drinks (monkey lala) and you can jump off the top into the ocean for some additional excitement. The paddle boards were a bonus and we used them most days to snorkel across the reef. There is a convenient (walking distance) grocery store right at the main road where you turn to get to the house. We went there often to get ice and alcohol, but Eldon's has the best selection and Marty will stop there on the way to the house when you arrive from the airport. All in all it was a fantastic vacation! Thanks to everyone we encountered!

The property is great, the people who run the house and keep it cleaned and organized are terrific! Top notch place and they were always there when we needed. You will not be disappointed and the island and people are wonderful!
