I had a grand time at this hostel. Mel, the owner who lives close by, is extremely helpful and always cheery. The hostel is located a couple blocks from the beach and within walking distance of some good food. It's in a more local area of the island, not touristy at all. Which is exactly what I was looking for.... More

We were very happy to find this place on Roatan Island. We spent a week there. We had the first floor of the little house just for us as this week was not busy. The access to the kitchen is very usefull as the restaurants are quite expensive and that there are not too many in Sandy bay. We appreciated... More

I stayed at the Roatan Backpacker Hostel for about 6 weeks, and had a wooonderful time! The owner (Mel) is easy-going, and her little two kids are very entertaining! The hostel is located in a local area, with excellent snorkeling opportunities at Sandy Bay just 5 minutes away (if you are not allready snorkeling in the pool behind the hostel).... More

We spent around nine days at Roatan Backpacker's Inn this month, and we had one of the most relaxing period's of our travels so far. The owner, Mel, was a wonderful host, very laid-back and very helpful, which is a great combination. The hostel itself is constructed of wood, which is typical of many houses along the Caribbean coastline. We... More

We stayed in the dorm for two nights and overall it was good. As many reviewers have mentioned, this cute little coral colored hostel is out in Sandy Bay and you have to take a taxi to West End. There is not much going on around the hostel although a couple little convenience stores at the end of the road.... More

I had a great time staying at the backpackers hostel for a couple of days and in addition to the nice gardens and cool pool, Mel was really great, hospitable and friendly. If you are on a budget, this place is a good value for money, also, if you'd like to sit on the balcony with a beautiful garden view,... More

About 5km away from the bustling "West End", this hostel is found just down the street from the botanical gardens in the peaceful "Sandy Bay" neighborhood. The hostel is run by a Canadian expat, Mel, who has amazing energy and a welcoming spirit of hospitality. The hostel has a shared kitchen, which makes it nice for budget travelers who've had... More

Truly a hidden gem on Roatan. Enough distance from west end for reasonable prices and a calm, secluded feel, but still only about $1.50 cab ride when you do want to go to west end. Mel is amazing, makes you feel right at home. Her kids are a blast and provide endless entertainment. The kitchen is great for budget travelers... More

A nice little Hostel on Roatan in Sandy bay with an amazing owner. Mel is a great person who hangs out with you at night and who has amazing kids who will be hanging out with you too. Since the hostel is still small (but they are expanding) you really get together like a family in this hostel and socialize... More
