    This boutique resort offers wonderful comfort, and their staff is extremely friendly and available to meet your requests. Staying at a small resort where every staff member knows you by name and knows your preferences was great. Their dive operation is solid, with daily trips to nearby sites. Sites are usually 5 to 10 minutes away from the resort which has its own dock on the beach.

    This property was extremely nice and relaxing. The staff exceeded our expectations. Harry, our morning server, was amazing; however, everyone was truly exceptional. My family did 2-3 dive trips a day, and the dive shop was amazing. Kudos to Juan and Lucas!! I can't say enough about the restaurant. Everything we ate was amazing, but the Tuna Tartare and the Tiradito were so good, I think I ate it at least 4 times over the week. The rooms were very nice, clean and relaxing. We will be returning!

    It was away from ant market and other restaurants, which limited our options for lunch and dinner. I would probably rent a car if you would like to have the freedom to explore the island

    Great place to unplug and dive! It’s away from the crowds and an excellent spot to relax. The resort has around 9 rooms, so you get to know everyone (we stayed for 10 days). The staff was amazing—very friendly, chatty, and always helpful with everything. I also want to give a special shoutout to the dive shop staff. Carlos and Juan made me feel so much more confident with my diving (I’m a beginner). They offer three dives per day, with a relaxed atmosphere, and you can even make requests on where to go. Sometimes, they only had one or two divers, which basically felt like a private group. The best part was the staff’s stories, insights, and their warm morning smiles—they truly made us feel at home. We came with two 7-year-old kids, and the facilities were perfect for them. Since it’s not a big resort, they never felt lost, and there’s a play area where they stayed entertained every day with books, chess, and more. One important detail—no TV, which was fantastic! Screen-free time was really appreciated, and the kids never got bored with snorkeling, the beach, and kayaking. We’ll definitely be back!

    Personally I think The rooms need a little mini fridge and full length mirrors. There are no shops or stores close by and it’s off a very busy road.

    I had an Amazing Stay here with my two teenagers. We walked down to Anthony’s Key Dolphin swim while we were staying here, swam in the pool, fished off the dock, snorkelling and swimming. The staff were amazing and the food exceptional! Loved the quite vibe and enjoyed relaxing here. Fresh water coolers in the room were great and a coffee maker in the room was a nice touch. Restaurant is right on site, no need to go anywhere else if you don’t want to leave.

    the location was 10 minutes from WestEnd (the town) so it was quiet (in a good way!) but also quite isolated. only one other restaurant was within walking distance. the beach front is non-existent (actually a road), but the lovely pier hang out space makes up for this.

    we loved the friendly staff. the dock was a great place to hang out even in the rain. the food was delicious. the kids loved playing chess and cards in the loft space in the open air restaurant, which was a lovely place to eat. the scuba/snorkeling activities were well-planned.

    Our stay at Tranquilseas far exceeded our expectations. The staff were the friendliest, warmest, most welcoming people we have encountered. They felt like family by the end of our stay. From Delcie, Denry, David, Franklin, Samir in the restaurant / bar (who all always had such a ready smile and greeting for us) to Ellie, Chantel, Rudy and Emilio in the dive shop / dive boat, to Jan at the front desk - we could not have felt more welcomed. The hotel itself is nestled amongst the lush tropical greenery, away from the hustle and bustle and is so peaceful and relaxed. It is a short drive to West End / West Bay which are close enough to easily go experience (which we did several times), but also far enough away that you are removed from the noise and dust and crowds (easily accessible by taxi). The hotel bar and restaurant are situated so that they have fabulous views of the water and every meal was so full of flavor. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. The water right off the dock is crystal clear and teeming with life - great for snorkeling. They have frequent (I think daily) dive trips that take you to see even more of the reef. The room was very comfortable and beautifully appointed. We will definitely be back!!

    There wasn't anything about the hotel in particular that I didn't like. The only note is that you will have to take a taxi if you want to go to different bars/restaurants.

    I love the overall landscape design, it felt very tropical, the greenery is absolutely beautiful. I also LOVED the room design, I know they've done some refurbishment lately and it really shows - the rooms are gorgeous! I also really enjoyed all the lounge space on the dock, there were cabana chairs, hammocks, beach chairs, etc. So many places to just kick up your feet, relax and enjoy the beautiful views! Also the on-site dive shop was particularly convenient for my partner who took advantage by taking multiple dives every day! Also we didn't know this at the time of booking, but breakfast was included which was a nice touch!

    Perfect 1-week dive trip

    There's not much within walking distance. This didn't bother us because we were diving so much and liked the resort restaurant, and you can take a cab to nearby West End if you want to change things up (we actually walked to West End but it took longer than expected and wasn't very scenic). That said, the location makes for a peaceful and safe trip!

    We spent the majority of our time on the property or diving with on-site shop. There wasn't much need to leave the property! The restaurant had a great view, good food and drinks, and friendly staff. The room was cleaned every day (we were in Eagle Ray) and the property was well maintained. The resort's private pier was a perfect spot to relax, swim and snorkel--and not crowded at all since there's only 9 rooms. What really blew us away, though, was the dive operation. Well run, and almost as easy as getting out of bed, climbing into a boat, and rolling into the ocean. We had so much fun diving every day, and we trusted them to handle our gear (they had a device to try our wetsuits, which was a bonus and made for easy packing at the end of the trip). When the weather got bad they moved their boat to the other side of the island, providing for really interesting variety. Highly recommend. We'll definitely return!

    If you’re looking for a property with beach cabanas this may not be the place for you but the dock is lovely.

    The location and facilities can’t be beat but better still are all of the amazing staff who go out if their way to make the stay amazing. If you are a diver, this is the dive center for you. They happily accommodate snorkelers and divers of all levels.

    That we had to put on bug spray each morning. But that's the Caribbean for you 😄

    A pretty little gemstone. Perfect to relax and for diving. The proximity to the reef is great. The resort is nestled on a slope in the jungle directly at the beach. We had the King Crab room and had lots of space. The beds are very comfortable and you can choose between two different pillows. The restaurant "The Sunken Fish" is outstanding. The food's great, the location is great, the staff is great.... Now the dive center "Best Dive Roatan" was perfect. Because it's a little resort you have only small groups of diver's. For our purpose, only to relax and dive it was perfect. The whole crew was so nice and I love their kind of humor. On our 2 weeks stay we did 19 dives each and some absolutely amazing dives. And even though it is a bit remote it's only 7 min to West End if you want some action. I have to stop bragging but what can I say? Everything was great.
