The moment I pulled up to Puerta Azul I knew I was about to fall in love! The property is absolutely breathtaking. The owner, Talia, showed me to my casita and my mouth hit the floor. I couldn't believe how nice it was! Its your own private beach front house! It was spotless and incredibly decorated, the bed was super comfortable, and the ceilings were sky high. I had a hammock on my porch and an outdoor shower too!
The ocean view from their private beach is indescribable. I spent hours and hours snorkeling and kayaking from the end of the dock (they provide the gear and the kayaks too!) The water is crystal clear, calm, and bathwater warm.
Every morning Talia would make and serve an amazing breakfast on her massive porch surrounded by mango trees and coconut palms overlooking the ocean... the tranquil vibe is the best way to start any day. She also serves dinner by request!
Talia was overly accommodating and knows everyone and everything on the island. She introduced me to my new favorite dive shop, set me up with a dolphin encounter, ziplining, a mangrove tour, a visit to little french cay, a boat trip to pigeon cay, a beachfront massage on anthonys cay, a bonfire, a tour of the island, on the water yoga, restaurant recommendations, kareoke night, a lionfish hunt, and anything else I needed. Shes an incredible host and I am still not sure how she pulls it all off!
I was so in love with Puerta Azul that I booked my next trip back before I ever left. While i was on Roatan, I saw other places/hotels/beds and breakfasts and I couldnt find anything remotely close to Puerta Azul. It was the most rejuvenating and beautiful trip of my entire life. It was so inspiring and incredible that I am now considering moving to Roatan! But until then, the only place I will ever stay is Puerta Azul!!
THANK YOU PUERTA AZUL AND TALIA FOR SUCH A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!!
