Pirate'S Den Hotel

I stayed at Pirates Den on my own and was welcomed with open arms, as if I was part of the family. The staff both in the restaurant and in the hotel treated me like a queen, shout out to Alexis, Chanely, Juan, Jefferson and really to everybody I had an encounter with. In my opinion, I had the best room in the hotel, room #12, it was in the corner, with a hammock and a small porch, it was my private haven. The hotel offers free breakfast and the juices are made daily and if you are extra nice and tip, you will have access to the fruits they have available and on the property and possibly even get it for you. The hotel is centralized, with a breathtaking view, just steps to the beach. At the time I arrive in Roatan, there was a storm prior to my arrival, so it rained for a few days so the beach below was not accessible but that did not deter me from doing other excursions that I had undertaken within the island. The hotel is away from the touristy spots, which I prefer, but is very accessible to those areas, you can take a cab to the West End for $1-$2 (10-12 min ride) and to West Bay for $4-$5 (15-20 min). I personally rented a car, it gave me the opportunity to venture out and see all of the island, taste local food, swim other beaches and meet local people, I highly recommend it. I had been adviced prior to heading to Roatan that it is not a safe place to go, but it's the main land, Honduras that is unsafe as per the locals, but as in any unfamiliar country, one must take precaution and know ones sorrounding. If you like to swim, snorkle, dive, zip line, see nature, the sea and the sun, then Roatan is waiting for you. I know I will return to Roatan and Pirates Den will be my home away from home. Till we see each other again.
