Roatán Backpackers Hostel

Roatán


This well-organized hostel in and around a homey colonial house has multiple room categories, a communal kitchen and a pool and sunbathing patio – it even has its own waterfall. Sleepy Sandy Bay Beach is a short walk away and busy West End is a five-minute, L30 colectivo taxi ride away. It's not the most convenient location, but the prices can't be beat.
