Posada Las Orquideas

Roatán


This stylish, white-linen-draped and well-run place is at the very end of West End on the quiet and secluded peninsula overlooking the bay of Mangrove Bight. Rooms are smart and spacious, with those on the 3rd floor priced higher for their sea views. There's a jetty that's exclusively for guests, though the water here is brackish.
