Good location. Very poor host commutation and amenities under construction.

This is an owner-managed property that is part of a larger complex called “The Meridian”. It is a great location, however we were overall disappointed in our stay due to a few host-related issues. Host was non responsive after multiple attempts to communicate prior to the trip. Finally sent check-in instructions less than 24 before arrival. Arrived at the property and the Meridian team was unaware of the stay. I attempted to contact the host to clear up the confusion , but he was non-responsive. Ultimately the Meridian staff allowed us to check in after I showed a copy of the instructions. The Meridian team was very helpful during the stay and a pleasure to meet. Additionally, the property was getting re-roofed during the stay. This was very noisy and messy. The entire rooftop was unusable due to debris and the private pool at the villa was also filled with construction debris. The furnishings in the villa are also very used and outdated. The location however is magnificent, and once again the staff at the Meridian were a pleasure.

Family Vacation July 2024

The condo was great, with an even better view. The beach was literally right below the balcony. It doesn't get better than that. Everything was clean and gorgeous furniture. The beds were very comfortable. We did not use the pool on the roof, as my son did go up a couple days in and the water was green. We didn't mind much, as the main pool was beautiful and we are more beach people. Snorkeling was really good right in front of the complex. It wasn't the easiest to access as you need to navigate through the coral some to get through, but some of the best on the island right there. Daniel, the bartender at the beach will help point you the right way through. Just ask him, he's great! Location was really good. About a 15 minute walk to West Bay Beach. Take the short cut through the Grand Roatan to avoid the worst of the hills. Follow the road, and you will find a gravel path that brings you right down to the beach from there. We did the main road hills once and I paid a taxi $10 to bring me back. We referred to that as the $10 hill going forward lol. We ate at the restaurant twice, it was quite delicious, but we mainly walked into west bay beach for meals at different restaurants for variety. Our favorite was Annie’s Boardwalk Cafe. Right at the end of the beach. They have their seafood boil on Thursday & Sunday nights and you MUST try it! Would definitely return and stay here again.

Wonderful experience!

The property is amazing! Steps from the ocean, restaurant and pool. If you wanted, you could want through Grand Roatan to get to West Bay, but we found it too hot so we took taxis. Cost a little more but worth not overheating. It would have been great to have a car, but we made do with the taxis. The rooftop pool got a bit green within a few days, so that was a bummer but I don't know how you can maintain those things in all the sun. Overall very wonderful!

Good time had by all

Really liked the property. Our seasoned travelers consisted of three couples, and we would all recommend staying there. We never used the upper level & deck pool. The roof top area could have used some powerwashing. We enjoyed the central pool area more. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen had all the necessary dishes and utensils. Plus, there was a large water cooler ready for use. We couldn't get the TVs to work well and wifi wasn't very strong, but it wasn't a big deal because we didn't spend much time indoors. The central pool area, on-site restaurant, and beach were great. Very private area, beautiful sunsets, and it felt safe. We walked to West Bay beach area a couple of times, a short distance, but prepare to walk uphill.

Beautiful condo, pool, location, etc., etc., etc.!

We recently returned from an 8 night stay at the condo. We were 3 couples, so the spacious layout is perfect - 3 private en suite bed/baths, 3 balconies with great views and a very large kitchen that many people could be in at the same time. Everything is quality amenities, architecture, appliances, furniture and finishes. We had a couple of little glitches in the beginning, but the host/owner quickly arranged for things to be addressed to our great satisfaction, and all was excellent! The complex is wonderfully quiet, yet you can go over to West Bay beach for all the liveliness, people, activities, sandy beach, bars and restaurants - although Kismet restaurant on the Meridian property is fantastic! The pool is gorgeous and we loved snorkeling right at the Meridian property and next door in front of Grand Roatan. We recommend this place and hope to be back here again, as we didn’t get to see nearly enough of the island. Thanks Matt, from Janet & group!

Great West Bay Villa

This villa was just as described, and we enjoyed our stay quite a bit. The main thing was that the hot water heater went out our second day, and due to the weekend timing, the owner was unable to get it repaired/replaced during our stay. So, we had cold water showers for all of our stay except the first (partial) day.

Best Diving and Snorkel Trip

The property is amazingly clean and beautiful. The pool is wonderful and the Villa is excellently maintained. There is not a more beautiful spot to see the sunset and the snorkeling out to the reef and wall was simply the best we saw on the island. If you go to the right and follow the channel out you can easily make your way to the diving buoy and you are the reef wall with a 50’ drop! We saw all kinds of fish; eel, and eagle rays. Amazing! I would come back a thousand times!

No bedding for the 2 pullout couches, but the overall place is nice. It’s for people who want a quiet place with no activity going on. You need to have transportation set up to go anywhere which gets a little bit of a hassle. We did find a person who provided great transportation. Pizza on Sunday is great!!!!

Great location for solitude on a busy island

This 2nd and 3rd floor space was perfect for our family of five adults. The sunset views are unmatched anywhere on the island. It was a very peaceful and quiet location to stay. The only drawback that surprised us is that the swim up bar is closed however that's not really a problem as the front door to our villa was only 30 seconds from the pool area. The Kismet is an excellent place to watch the sunsets from and we also found out they have stone fired pizzas on Sunday evenings which were also excellent. Matt was a very responsive owner for any and all questions. We would stay again.

Winter get away

Amazing property! Great location lots of restaurants and other beaches down the road. Glad we had car to explore things. Sunsets were the best and great to sit on patio and watch them. Would definitely rent again. Amazed how easy it was to get jugs of water refilled when needed. Kitchen stocked well and lots of spices to utilize. Dining table needs some adjustments quite wobbly but for most part everything was great. Thanks Matt!

Roatan Get Away

The villa was just as described. A quiet oasis away from the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to the action if that is what you desired. Beautiful sunsets, viewing of the full moon from the rooftop, quiet, with very friendly staff. Even though this was within walking distance, we ended up renting a car as the walk had fairly steep up and down hills that although doable, would have been strenuous for some. Matt was a great host and explained the lay of the land well before we arrived. The snorkeling off the beach was some of the best on the island although it helps to talk to someone about the best in and out since there are rocks and coral to navigate. We loved having the on-site restaurant to eat at and order take out. Highly recommend.

Wonderful vacation destination!

What a great spot to stay in Roatan! The place was spacious, fantastic beach and sunset view from the balcony, easy access to the pool, beach front salt water pool, and on sight restaurant! The best part of all was the amazing snorkeling right out our "backyard" where we swam with turtles, squid, tropical fish and so much more! I definitely recommend this spot but make sure to have a rental car so you can get around to west end and west bay easily if you want to explore the whole area.

Highly recommend

Beautiful property away from the crowds. We went on a snorkeling excursion at several spots around the island but the best snorkeling was just outside the condo. Beautiful coral, lots of fish, eagle rays and calm water. Owner was great to work with and put us in contact with locals for all our excursions. He always responded quickly and worked with us when our flight was canceled due to tropical storm Lisa. We were able to stay an extra night without any issues. Highy recommended Roatan and this property.

Serene Space to Snorkel and Relax

Our experience staying at a luxury Meridian villa was incredible. The Meridian offers an unusually quiet and serene setting, despite being just minutes away from the bustling and beautiful West Bay Beach. My family was delighted by the snorkeling experience available just steps off the Meridian beach. We watched as dive and snorkel charter boats deposited cutomers to the reef located just outside our window. The ocean views from our property were stunning and the indoor space was clean, comfortable, and very spacious. The gorgeous Meridian pool was a treat for our kids. We also appreciated several meals provided by the wonderful staff at the Kismet restaurant. The dishes were impressive, yet reasonably priced and the waitstaff was very friendly and accomodating. Our property owner, Matt, was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone who would like to be near West Bay Beach, but who is seeking a quieter and more relaxing environment.

Secluded but needs some TLC

PROPERTY If you want secluded, this is the place. The staff is amazingly friendly, the pool was empty, the beach was empty, the bar was empty, etc... We were 6 of maybe 20 people on the property. That being said, if you are into that kind of place, this is perfect. UNIT The unit had all the minimums to stay to include disposable items such as soap, paper towels, trash bags, TP, etc... However, we had some maintenance issues, 1. we had a backup in one of the showers and in the kitchen sink. 2. We found a plumbing leak under the kitchen sink. 3. The dishwasher does not wash dishes. 4. The outlets in one of the bedrooms didn't work (one appears to have been short circuited and the breaker panel is in the locked room with the laundry machines). 5. The pool is gross, the pump doesn't work. 6. The furniture is outdated, and several items were broken. 7. The 3rd floor is a nice lookout, but we never used it because the furniture was outdated, and the pool did not work.

Varied opinions from group

We had two couples in our 50’s. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, which was perfect and convenient. The balcony view was great and the property was beautiful. It is secluded, so know you’ll need transportation to go pretty much anywhere else. The reef being so close was awesome. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The primary bed was super comfortable and the living room space was perfect and comfortable. It was nice having Kismet right on property and so close to our unit. My husband’s favorite meal was from Kismet. The beach chairs and fire pit are great to have available. There weren’t many people at the property while we were there so we pretty much had the main pool to ourselves the whole time. Great pool, Although no one was ever staffing the swim up bar. I specifically wanted a location where I could just walk outside and snorkel. You can absolutely do that here. However, the water is very shallow and it’s hard to get through the reef. There is a buoy that marks an area where you can get through. Don’t try to get through anywhere else or you will get stuck. Once you get out, it’s amazing. Go to the right around the rocks and follow the reef over to Grand Roatan/Infinity Bay. If you want to get to the beach, it’s also hard to know how to get through the reef to get there. Someone with more experience snorkeling that area can probably give better advice on that. One couple walked from the condo to the beach and the other two snorkeled and met them there. OK - so here is the not so great. We had a couple maintenance issues that didn’t get responded to. The safe is in the main bedroom but it was broken and didn’t get fixed. As you can imagine, between us we had thousands of dollars of cash and no place to put it safely. That did cause me some anxiety all week. There were two broken / wobbly chairs. One at the desk in one bedroom and one of the barstool chairs, so be cautious. There had obviously been some water damage because the paint was peeling in the top corner in the kitchen. We didn’t use the upstairs area at all. It was too hot in the game room and the furniture on the rooftop was rickety. The plunge pool up there also looked icky. When planning, we expected to spend a lot of time up there, but didn’t. However, the main pool was great and we watched the sunset from the balcony or beach. For the price, we didn’t expect some broken furniture. The good thing is these are all easily fixable and would get 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Matt Adkins

Villa del RIU has been a dream of mine since I first sank my toes in the silky white sand beaches of West Bay. Roatan is such a special place and I am sure it will be for you too. The friendly people and welcoming culture make Roatan a home to everyone that visits.

Why they chose this property

This location is ideal for any reason of vacation. West Bay has an amazing white sand beach with warm waters and world class diving and snorkeling. It also hosts numerous cruise ships and visitors every year. Villa del RIU is minutes from all of the action but far enough to be private and secluded offering the best of both entertainment and relaxation.
