Overall, our experience at Villa, Del Playa was very good. We had actually stayed in another unit in the same building approximately 10 years ago and found that there were some updates to the units. There were unfortunately some small issues that arose during our stay that need to be addressed to accurately depict the listing on Vrbo.
The check-in process is easy overall, but really could be made easier by avoiding having to stop at a check-in office to pick up an information folder.
The unit is very spacious and provides more than enough seating for plenty of people both on the main level and the rooftop. We found the air-conditioning worked quite well when we needed it. Water pressure was adequate for showering and hot water was readily available for this which was nice.
Property is tucked into a nice little enclave of trees, which did sheltered somewhat from wind and sound. No doubt there are plenty of insects but bug repellent is a necessary thing anywhere in the Caribbean and this place is no exception.
We did hear roosters and dogs every morning but we were up early anyway so no problems there but just a little info for light sleepers…you may want to bring some earplugs.
The icemaker in both the kitchen refrigerator and the upstairs refrigerator did not work. Management did bring several bags of ice but this was not repaired during our stay. The grill that was shown on the listing was not on the rooftop so the listing should be updated.

All-in-all, a great trip. The property was amazing with everything we needed including 2 fully equipped kitchens. The second-level balcony was a favorite spot with parrots and macaws flying by daily. The location provided easy access to everything. Snorkeling: The kayaks and SUPs were perfect for paddling to the buoys to snorkel. (Tip-paddle past the closest 'soccer ball' buoy to bottle further out to the right and you'll be closer to the reef and blue channel. Take an indicator if you have one (e.g., orange scuba marker) to be more visible to passing boats.) Shore snorkeling locations include off the point at La Luna and off the point in West Bay - swim right around the shallow reef to reach deeper reef and channel. Food: Tita's Pink Sea Horse is great fun. The fish and chips (o-rings) at Luna are fantastic. Our favorite restaurant was Stowaway, which is on the far side of West End. Other: Roatan Divers is a great dive shop. Waves of Art has amazing art and souvenirs. The Marine Park shop has a good selection of souvenirs and books. The Cressi and Mares shops have snorkel/dive gear. Our favorite groceries were Roa, the veg/fruit mkt across the street, and the market at the round about (the only place we found meat). Good luck trying to buy fish - the stores didn't have any fresh/frozen fish and despite multiple efforts to purchase directly from local fishermen, no dice.
Don't rent a car unless the dirt access road has been graded. It was almost impassible.

VDP#6 is a beautiful spacious home! As a family of 4 we all enjoyed our own bedrooms with en suite baths. Private rooftop was a great escape from all others. All beds and furniture were very comfortable. Lots of towels for inside and out and we had all the kitchen accessories we needed. The location is great! Private, but a short walk to many restaurants in West End and Half Moon Bay. We loved having access to kayaks and paddle boards and rode them to the snorkel spots just out from the house. Property Management was very responsive to the couple of questions we had on day two. We highl recommend this property!

The penthouse is great for family gatherings. It has everything you need. The private pool area on the top floor is excellent for relaxing with amazing views.
The half moon beach and grocery stores are only 10-15 minutes walk from the property.

Villas del Playa penthouse #6 Pros: Spacious; clean; spectacular ocean, beach and sunset views; diligent, helpful on-site manager; steps away from informal beach-side palapa dining at Tita's and more refined, upscale drinks and ocean-front dining at Luna's; quiet but close to main street of West End. Cons: Horseback riding occurs regularly on the beach, so you must be careful where you step. This 3rd floor walk-up and spiral staircase to the rooftop were no problem for us but could be for the elderly or unfit. Unit is well-worn and in need of some maintenance and updating - this will probably be occurring in the near future as it's been recently sold to a new owner, who sent a crew of folks to take measurements and make assessments as we were leaving. Overall, we totally enjoyed our 10 days there and are excited about the renovations to come. We would definitely consider staying there again!

Great location - close to everything West End has to offer
Villa 6 was great for our group. Had a total of 5 people for 6 days (two couples and a 13 year old). Can’t say enough about the location in relation to West End, minutes walk away from all the popular restaurants/ bars… but a tad off the beaten path, so got spared most of the (many) local vendors walking the beach.
Plenty of space to accommodate everyone. AC (two central units) worked well; ceiling fans in all rooms; walkout balconies on the 2 main bedrooms; great views overlooking the bottom level pool, ocean, and sail boats. Upper level pool was great for the evenings / taking in the breeze and sunsets.
Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Washer and dryer worked well, and were super convenient for our needs.
Unit 6 has a lockable gate at the top access point on stairs, so felt very safe/ secure.
Eldin (care taker) was very helpful when needed (helping with COVID Tests, local knowledge) - and was always available. Night watch was on-site every time we walked home from dinner.
Kayaks were convenient for accessing snorkeling. Go out to orange buoy to the East of Villa Del Playa (about even with Harry’s Hideaway), and tie-off to the buoy, shallow enough to get close to reef, and saw tons of variety of fish. AM is the best for clarity/ calm ocean.
Only “downside” was there were sand flies while in the lower pool (no mosquitoes) - but these were encountered everywhere on the island (we stayed at two different locations and went to multiple beaches). No fault of the location - just a reality of Roatan. Don’t let it hold you back.
Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the awesome/ memorable trip!

We stayed in #6, the top floor. Enjoyed the pool up top (completely private) and the kitchen was great...even had a blender for us to use!
We were able to easily walk the beach to the West End but was just far enough away that we didn’t have to deal with the noise or traffic. Showers were great. We spent a lot of the time it rained (first 2 days only) around the large table playing games we brought. The views out the front were absolutely beautiful! When you leave after 7 or more days here your legs will be in great shape from the stairs and walks to West End! We took a water taxi to West Bay for a day, but ended up coming back pretty quickly because we preferred our beach and pool access. 😀

Beautiful beach condo
The unit was great. Will maintained, great staffing and the views were spectacular. The condo was very spacious as well. Was a little off the beaten path of West End but depending on your preference that could be a good thing too. Would stay there again in the future

We loved the ocean views, rooftop plunge pool, and size of the space. We used the kayaks frequently and the boat dock for diving pick-up. We liked the walkability to west end as well. Great place for the price !

Excellent condo in an outstanding location
This was our first trip to Roatan and we were traveling with another couple so we booked this unit for the space and the private pool. We were not disappointed in either the accommodations nor the location. We had very good communication with Roatan Vacation Rentals prior to our trip. A driver picked us up at the airport, took us to the nearby market for supplies then to check-in, which was quick and easy, lastly to our unit The large unit was very clean and well maintained with everything we needed from beach towels to utensils, pots and pans, even a local cell phone. Rooftop pool and seating area was fun but in a way it kinda kept us from the beach bit more than a ground floor unit. It's a big that can accommodate 6 adults very comfortably. The unit does have it's own security and a very helpful onsite employee to look after anything you might need.
The location is outstanding if you want to be private but close to the low key action of West End. Beach was great, uncrowded ,clean and well maintained by onsite staff. You'd barely see anyone walking by. We used the kayaks to row out to a snorkel spot directly in front of the unit. West End is a great place with lots of choices for food and drink. Everything is walking distance including a couple markets. Always felt safe even after dark. Unit isn't far from West Bay beach. We walked it one day and took a water taxi back.
Overall our stay at Villa Del Playa was near perfect. The Roatan Vacation Rentals crew is top notch. As for Roatan, it was like living a Jimmy Buffet song! We're already making plans for net year.

Awesome vaca
Great condo, great water, easy walk to West End to eat, shop, etc. I didn't like the West Bay area; way too busy; hundreds of people on top of each other on the beach fighting over lounge chairs. West End less crowed and a great vibe.

Amazing slice of paradise!
We spent the week of Christmas in the penthouse of Villa del Playa and loved every minute! Our family of 4 adult kids, husband and myself had plenty of space and the location was perfect! We did not need a car as the town was a quick easy 5 minute walk with an abundance of stores and restaurants. The people of Roatan are friendly and helpful and on 2 separate occasions, went out of their way to bring to us things we had forgotten behind (backpack in a restaurant and shoes on a water taxi). The house has filtered water, comfortable beds and a view to watch the sunset every evening! Our only issue was needing to bring more cash, as credit cards get an extra charge ( we paid for just about everything in lempera) but ATMs are spotty. Bring lots of cash! They take US $ but give change in lemperas. West End is definitely the place to stay! Go see the sloths at Manawakie Park!! Scuba with West End Divers and Eat at Ronny's Barefoot Bar next door to this house! You will love Roatan and its people!

Excellent condo and fantastic location!
Condo was well furnished comfortable and in a great location! Fantastic having a bathroom for each bedroom and also a bathroom on the rooftop terrace. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with appliances and utensils. Great to relax on the rooftop terrace and pool when we needed to get away from the hustle. West End is only a 10 minute walk from the condo and Ronny's Barefoot restaurant right next door had excellent food! Will definitely stay there again.

Great property - highly recommend it!
We stayed here in March of 2008 with two couples, in Villa #6 and absolutely loved it! The property itself is in a great location to the restaurants and bards in West End. It was not even a 5-10 minute walk down the beach to the street. Just a two minute walk down the beach was Ronny's barefoot restaurant which had dollar beers at happy hour. The property inside was very clean and had everything you needed for your stay. We spent most of our day time upstairs on the rooftop patio with the pool and loved it. On the dock right in front of the property is where you can take a water taxi down to West Beach. You can also walk down there, but it will take a good thirty+ minutes and is rocky as you walk along the shore. That alone was a pretty fun walk, some little boutique properties along the way. Roatan itself was awesome, we spent a day at Big French Key, West Bay beach, and out snorkeling all through Roatan life's connections. We use Frankie and his team for drivers, all of which were great! They picked us up at the airport and we made one stop at Elvin's supermarket for some essentials for the week and then picked up additional drinks at the mini mart type stores in West End as they were needed. Great property, highly recommend it!

Perfect location, great view, beautiful condo
The grounds, the pool, the condo itself. Everything is perfect. The condo is located at the end of the busy West End neighborhood, which is perfect. You are just a few minutes' walk from bars, restaurants, shops, dive centers - everything you could want, but you are on the edge o fit all, so you don't have the traffic and noise you might have if you were right in the middle of it. The convenience of having the water taxi pick up and drop off right on your private dock was awesome. Check in and out was very efficient. We will definitely be back!

Privite, amazing vacation spot!
Everything you need just buy your booze and food . Property was clean and we'll maintained. Liz was excellent with checking us in and providing details and options to explore the island. 5 star views and spent most of the time on the roof top patio. Snorkeling right off the dock. Own private beach and pool . We purchased our groceries at the supermarket before we arrived and didn't have to leave the villa much! Secure, safe, private and Had such a great time . We will be back next year for sure! Restaurants, bars and dive shops 5 minute walk down the beach. Amazing spot ! The pictures are accurate staff and other villa renters were super friendly!

Well maintained and secured. The setting is perfect
Thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop pool, patio and kitchen. Eldin was very helpful and friendly. The power went out a couple of times but not for long and the staff was there to reassure. Conveniently located to West End businesses and restaurants and an enjoyable water taxi ride to West Bay

Amazing property in a cool part of town
We loved our stay at Villa De Playa #6. The penthouse was well accommodated and set up. The rooftop lounge had incredible views as well. The property is located 80 yards from the Roatan Dive Center; just a 2 minute walk along the beach front. All of the bars and restaurants in the West End are right next door. Management was all great and easy to work with. We will be back!

Great facility in Roatan
This is a wonder facility in West End. It is away from the hustle and bustle along the main street of West End, but well within easy walking when you want to find a restaurant or bar. We did all of our diving at Roatan Diving Center, a very professional PADI shop, which is only a 2 minute walk from our accommodations. No security concerns what so ever and the property was well maintained and managed by Roatan Life Vacation Rentals who also arranged for a number of our extracurricular activities. I would absolutely recommend this place to others wishing to visit Roatan. Having the private rooftop pool and lounging area meant you could enjoy the view and sun without feeding those nasty sand flies which are an unfortunate addition to pretty much anywhere you go on the island. Keep your eyes on the sunsets and watch for the green flash.
