Puerta Azul

We are so happy we found Puerta Azul!

From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the day we were dropped off, everything was seamless. The staff at Puerta Azul truly went above and beyond—more attentive and welcoming than many five-star hotels we’ve stayed in.

The snorkeling right off their dock was fantastic, and the boat tours took us to some incredible spots. If you love being in the water, this place is a dream.

The food was also outstanding—fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared every day.

If you’re looking for a relaxed tropical escape with amazing snorkeling, wonderful food, and a staff that treats you like family, Puerta Azul is a gem. We can’t wait to come back!

5min walk for the puerta azul restaurant in sandy bay. Food was delicious, the staff is very welcoming no taxi needed

We loved every minute of our President's Day Weekend getaway at Puerta Azul. The setting and staff were amazing. Everyone was friendly, helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious. We will be back without a doubt.

We had the most wonderful stay at Puerta Azul Boutique Hotel in Roatan. Besides the property being absolutely stunning, everyone who worked there was so welcoming. From the owners, to the kitchen staff, every single person made you feel like you were at home. The food was amazing, I miss the breakfasts. Hanging out on the dock, reading a good book, then jumping into the water for some snorkeling. It was paradise.

Our stay at Puerta Azul was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and genuine smiles from the staff — they went above and beyond to make our trip special. The rooms were beautifully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with breathtaking ocean views that made waking up each morning a joy.

Un angolo di pace ai confini del mondo, in ambiente famigliare. Proprietà e personale particolarmente sensibili nel soddisfare le richieste dell’Ospite. Alloggio più confortevole di quanto immaginavo. Poeticamente lo definirei… una casetta in mezzo al mar!

After lengthy research, my wife and I visited Puerta Azul in Roatan in early January '26 because it isn't in the congested and busier "touristy" areas, and reviews were very positive. They weren't wrong. Although Puerta Azul is tucked in between adjacent properties, the lush, diverse and beautiful foliage serve as effective insulators. The staff, especially Sasha, Noel, Julie, Rose, Jackie, Tanisha and Yami were especially kind, and we quickly became friends. It seems to me that there is a genuine and kind nature to the people we met during our week-long trip. The owners Antonio and Talia were very welcoming, accommodating, informative and kind. The food at Puerta Azul, whether fish, chicken, steak, or vegetables(!) was without exception, excellent. Strategically placed fans in the dining area kept any wayward bugs away, and I only had to use repellent a couple times during our stay. Snorkeling off the end of their pier was very enjoyable with a large, healthy coral reef within swimming distance. A multitude of colorful reef fish were abundant. We went on the 4 hour North Shore snorkeling trip. I felt this was a bit pricey but the reef areas we swam on were beautiful, and the rum punch and snacks on the way back was a nice touch. We also went on the half day island tour, which was enlightening and pleasant, and one of the few times I chose to wear sandals. I think my mind incorrectly filled in the blanks when I thought the rum and chocolate factories meant the production facilities. Instead we visited a rum store and a chocolate store, where we could purchase products they make, not what I consider a factory, but still ok. The Mayan Eden jungle tour was worthwhile. Confession, I don't really like to see animals in cages, but I didn't come away from this visit feeling sorry for the diverse assortment of tropical animals there. They appeared healthy and well cared for. We also visited West End Village, which to me was more appealing than West Bay. There we saw plenty of restaurants, offering both local foods (the baleadas are very good) and other South American fare, as well as decent souvenir shops. Puerta Azul is a solid "10".

We stayed at Boutique Hotel Puerta Azul in November and would definitely recommend this place. We received outstanding service throughout our stay. The hotel was clean, well maintained, and set in a picturesque garden right by the beach, with a long pier leading to the coral reef.

The hotel is located in a calm area, away from the lively, crowded, and noisy tourist spots. We personally didn’t spend much time on the hotel’s beach, as we were busy diving during the day, but we did enjoy using the SUP and kayak, which are free to rent from the hotel.

The food was delicious, and we will truly miss everyone from the staff. The owner is a fantastic person who genuinely cares about his guests. We had some nice conversations with him.

It’s a great place for those who want to stay away from the crowds and truly relax, or for those who rent a car and occasionally go to the center for more options, then return to unwind in the evening and enjoy the peaceful mornings. You really feel close to nature here.

There is also a local bus service nearby, although we didn’t try it, and a small shop within a short walking distance. The hotel guests are not here by coincidence - they choose this place deliberately, which also makes it a wonderful place to meet interesting people.

El sitio es precioso . El precio lo vale sin duda .
Las casitas de madera a 20 metros del mar son una delicia .

This is a small resort with very nice, modern and clean bungalows. Rooms are spacious, cleaning staff always on time. Food (especially fish and lobsters) and restaurant staff are amazing. There is very easy access to the water from new jetty. Good for snorkeling even when the reef is about 150 meters away (the area next to jetty is grass only with very few rock/small corals formations). You can see some of tropical fish, lobsters, squids without to be forced to swim to the riff edge. You can get kayaks and SUP for free. Great sunset.

We loved our stay at Puerta Azul.
The service was beyond excepcional, the staff was always cheerful, helpful and friendly.
The location is spectacular with a house reef and lagoon for fantastic snorkeling. It was always quite and pleasant. The dock going out into the lagoon is the perfect place to read a book and enjoy sunsets.
The tropical gardens are lush and colorful.
The restaurant had great seafood. Everything was always fresh and prepared from scratch.
The hotel is close enough to West End to be convenient, far enough to escape the busy side of Roatan.
Diving with Sandy Bay divers was perfect.

The owner made us feel like we are at home.
We hope to be back soon.

Puerta Azul is fabulous! We had a terrific stay over the Christmas holiday. We traveled as a family with our 15, 18 and 20 year old daughters who all like a combination of adventure and relaxation. Puerta Azul was the perfect setting for our family.

Talia, the owner, was fantastic. She totally got our family vibe right away and booked great activities (snorkel tour, swimming with dolphins, ATV, Mangrove tours, beach day in West Bay, etc.) and also several fantastic dinner reservations (La Cevicheria, Stowaway, Luna Muna and of course the delicious restaurant at Puerta Azul). We loved the tranquility of Puerta Azul (beautiful, quiet, rejuvenating) as a home base as we explored the entire Island over our 6 day stay.

We did spend one entire day at the beach in West Bay and initially thought that maybe we should have stayed there a couple nights. But all five of us quickly determined that the over-crowded beaches and the constant commotion made us feel much better about our decision to spend our entire stay at Puerta Azul.

Before departure from the States, we were worried about two things: rain and mosquitoes. While it did rain on and off for a couple days, we had mostly sunshine for the majority of our trip. Maybe we got lucky or maybe the rainy season is not so bad. Even when it rained, we continued on with our activities and it never slowed us down. We were smart about using the bug spray. The girls got a few bites wearing bikinis, etc. but my wife and I came home with just one or two bites each. Compared to other Central American vacations (Belize, Costa Rica, etc), Roatan seemed much better with the bites (or again, maybe we got lucky).

Ultimately, we loved Roatan and we loved Puerta Azul. The high rating (4.9 at this writing) is absolutely spot on. Can’t thank the staff enough for making our stay wonderful. A special shout out to Sasha - thanks for helping organize our last few days and sending a taxi to the airport at the last minute with a pair of missing AirPods, Kitchen staff - your food is amazing, we will miss our morning breakfast, and Noel - your smoothies and mixed cocktails were spectacular, especially the Coconut Margarita you created for me on our last evening!

We hope to celebrate the holidays with all of you again!

Wonderful stay in December 2025. Rooms were spacious, clean, and well organized. Bathroom shower was beautiful and had excellent water pressure. The location is stunning - gorgeous private beach with access to all kinds of fun activities like paddle boarding, snorkeling, and floaties. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The staff was so kind and accommodating - we felt so well taken care of. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Puerta Azul is a wonderful property in a beautiful location with exceptional customer service. You're near the West End for dinners and fun but the property is the true gem. The casitas are charming and well-provided for, and the onsite kitchen and bar serves delicious food and quality drinks. You've got your own beach and dock to swim from, and kayaks onsite. 10/10 experience.

We had a wonderful week at Puerta Azul Boutique hotel. The food was amazing and prepared by some awesome women. Our room was cleaned on a daily basis and there is a boat available for snorkeling, fishing, and sunset tours. I would definitely return to Roatan and stay at this site.

What an unbelievably dreamy experience it is to stay at Puerto Azul. Having a home in Utila we used to occasionally have to overnight in Roatan, which we tried to avoid like the plague. Since we discovered Purta Azul we try and plan on it.

Booked a 2 tank dive charter (Blue Reef Explorers) and beach experience through Puerto Azul in Honduras during a recent cruise. One of the best experiences with a charter operator and resort. The facilities were wonderful and the staff were even better. Our crew (Junior, Edison and Eva) were the best. We also appreciated the transportation provided - Leo was a great driver and tour guide in his own right. Only downside is that we didn't get to spend more time but at least we have something to look forward to when we come back.

Tägliches Frühstück war super.
Sehr familiärs Umfeld.
Personal war sehr hilfsbereit.
Schnorcheln in unmittelbarer Nähe. Schönes koralllen Riff.
