About this property

El Palacio Rosa - The Bay Suite

Come and get away from your regular getaway.

El Palacio Rosa is a private micro-resort on Carib Bight, Roatan — far from the cruise crowds, deep in the Honduran jungle, on a quiet bay with three reefs, a WWII shipwreck, and 400-year-old pirate tunnels off the dock. The Bay Suite is a walkout apartment underneath the main home — step outside and you're steps from the water. A beautiful patio, direct dock and beach access, infinity pool, dockside dining at La Rosa, kayaks, and paddleboards.

Water. Jungle. Sunsets.

Jeff went above and beyond for me and the family. He gathered local fruits,made a delicious ceviche for us and helped us book a charter. The place is absolutely amazing. Jeff started out as our host and ended up becoming a friend. Thank you hopefully be back soon.

Chilling in Roatan

The area is very private and calm. Beautiful views with swimming and snorkeling available right there. Loved having the kayaks and paddle board. Everything you need right there! The owners are very responsive. Just a tip for future renters… go to the Supermarket Eldon’s in French Harbor. They even have an organic supermarket right next to it with a very good selection of products!!

Perfect!

Jeff and Karen are fantastic, and this was the best VRBO experience we've ever had (and we've had quite a few). They'll help you find or do whatever your ocean-loving heart desires - they have vast knowledge and a deep love of the island. The Palace, it's views, and it's property are peaceful and beautiful, and if you're lucky, you might get banana bread or lionfish ceviche. The property pups and cat were just as lovely. It's about an hour's drive to either end of the island, but we could just as easily have spent every day exploring the bay and neighboring areas. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Jeff and Karen truly want you to leave as friends, and we did.

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey Bodin

Host profile image
We're a small, hands-on operation based right here on Roatán. El Palacio Rosa is a multi-floor property on Carib Bight that we've built out floor by floor to share the island with guests the way we experience it ourselves. We're closely involved in the day-to-day, so you're never far from someone who can help make your stay great.

Why they chose this property

Come and get away from your regular getaway.

Carib Bight is what Roatan used to be everywhere — a quiet bay, three reefs, the Roly Poly WWII shipwreck (snorkel from the dock), and 400-year-old pirate tunnels built by pirates to hide from the British Navy. All accessible from your door.

The Bay Suite puts you right at the water's edge — step off your patio and you're on the dock. No stairs to climb, no distance to cover, just the bay right outside your door.

What makes this property unique

Walkout apartment underneath the main home — direct dock and beach access
Beautiful private patio
La Rosa — our on-site restaurant, open most nights of the week until reasonable hours; background music most nights, occasionally a live band or DJ; special arrangements available for guests (breakfast, dinner, etc.)
La Rosa also arranges local tours and dory water-taxi service — just schedule directly with them
La Rosa Dive & Fish — private, guest-focused dive shop, plus deep sea fishing for wahoo, mahi, grouper, and snapper minutes from the dock
30+ dive and snorkel sites within 15 minutes of the dock
The Roly Poly — a WWII naval cargo shipwreck snorkeable from the dock
400-year-old pirate tunnels kayakable from the property
RGBW color-lit infinity pool over the bay
Free turtle sanctuary minutes away by dory
