This hotel is surrounded by low income sketchy housing, It’s too far from anything to walk so a cab is necessary. The hotel itself is old and needs updating. The pool is nice but doesn’t make the old mattresses better or the lack of hot water during a shower go away. The rooms on the west side of the hotel don’t cool off in the afternoon because the sun. Moved rooms once to a cooler room to only realize the hot water didn’t work. Then offered to move to a third room. There are only 4 rooms in this hotel so you’re telling me 3 of the 4 have major issues? The beach (or lack of) near the hotel is not a place anyone would want to spend time, looks almost like dirt or mud instead of sand. To get access to the beach you have to walk by a house that is very low income, made me feel horrible for the occupants of it and very uncomfortable. Just not a place to go and relax. Only positive of this place is the low cost and availability. The trip we took was planned about a week in advance so rushed to book this place based on the rating of 4.6 out of 5 which is absolutely crazy. No way any hotel in the USA would be ranked 4.6 in the condition. This should be a high 3.0 out of 5.0 if you ask me but more like a 2.5. Most of the Staff was friendly which did help. Would not stay or recommend to anyone. Ended the trip early due to hotel contortion and was told the last two days could not be refunded by hotel supervisor due to booking online. If you’re looking to relax don’t go here. …
I stayed at Pirates Den on my own and was welcomed with open arms, as if I was part of the family. The staff both in the restaurant and in the hotel treated me like a queen, shout out to Alexis, Chanely, Juan, Jefferson and really to everybody I had an encounter with. In my opinion, I had the best room in the hotel, room #12, it was in the corner, with a hammock and a small porch, it was my private haven. The hotel offers free breakfast and the juices are made daily and if you are extra nice and tip, you will have access to the fruits they have available and on the property and possibly even get it for you. The hotel is centralized, with a breathtaking view, just steps to the beach. At the time I arrive in Roatan, there was a storm prior to my arrival, so it rained for a few days so the beach below was not accessible but that did not deter me from doing other excursions that I had undertaken within the island. The hotel is away from the touristy spots, which I prefer, but is very accessible to those areas, you can take a cab to the West End for $1-$2 (10-12 min ride) and to West Bay for $4-$5 (15-20 min). I personally rented a car, it gave me the opportunity to venture out and see all of the island, taste local food, swim other beaches and meet local people, I highly recommend it. I had been adviced prior to heading to Roatan that it is not a safe place to go, but it's the main land, Honduras that is unsafe as per the locals, but as in any unfamiliar country, one must take precaution and know ones sorrounding. If you like to swim, snorkle, dive, zip line, see nature, the sea and the sun, then Roatan is waiting for you. I know I will return to Roatan and Pirates Den will be my home away from home. Till we see each other again.…
Nice Patio and very friendly staff You feel like family from the very first Minute and everybody is very helpfully. The Restaurant offers excellent inexpensive meals. The Room was very clean for a Caribe low cost destination.
We stayed here just one night, but would have loved to stay more if we didn't already have a booking somewhere else. Super friendly staff. Clean rooms with air con. Easy walk to a really nice beach with a reef for snorkeling. The Asian food in the restaurant was well-priced and delicious. And I loved the house dogs, Poochie and (can't remember the other one.)
