“Travellled all over the world: my experience there was the worst, ever.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2010

There is no need for me to re-type all the horror stories I have read on Casa Calico, its owner and staff. I would simply say that I was travelling there with my mom (I'm 30, she is 53) and it was very, very unpleasant. Staff and owner make you feel like you are NOT welcome. They make you feel like they are just so not happy to see you there... So, so bad experience. Location and building is great. But the people working must not be happy. Unhappy people are mean, rude and make you want to leave the place QUICK.

“another great week”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2010

Another great stay at Casa Calico in West End Roatan. It's become my home away from home while I'm diving. It's just all around comfortable. This visit the weather was cloudless the whole time and hot. The rooms have great cross ventilation, but this year I used a few minutes of air conditioning when I came back in the afternoon. But every night I slept with the A/C off and the windows open and the breeze allowing me to sleep very well. The rooms are tight enough that no bugs get in, a problem I've found at other hotels. I brought my IPhone and used it to read the newspapers on their free wi-fi while I enjoyed their huge breakfasts. Jeff, the owner, has a new cigar bar in town, and I learned to enjoy Honduran cigars as much as Honduran coffee. A very comfortable place to stay.

Owner doesn't care about the accomodations. No hot water most of the time. He is a terrible communicator. None of the locals like him.

“The Worst Service I have Ever Experineced”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2009

people found this review helpful

I am not one to complain a whole lot, but I have to say that since we arrived, the staff at that hotel looked at us like we were crap (pardon the expression) for reasons that I do not comprehend. They decided not to make our room the first night, the next night I had to hand them the key to our room in order to get it made, and the third night we had to do the same, but the lady decided to lock us out of the room because she left with the key and didn't leave it for us (I went in through the window). Also, one day we went downstairs to have breakfast a bit late (it was 10 after 11am and they stop serving breakfast at 11am) and before we could even ask if we could have breakfast one of the ladies there told us in a really bad manner that BREAKFAST IS NOT SERVED AFTER 11! Finally, the last day, we went down to have breakfast at 10ish and my girlfriend asked for fruit. The lady said that they didn't have fruit. This was the second time in a row that they didn't have fruit so my girlfriend blurted out that they never had fruit there... what followed was the worst part of the whole experience.... the lady said THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME!! Never in my life had I been treated that way so I decided to yell at her and told her that the service WAS THE WORST I HAD EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! We stormed out of there on foot with our luggage to look for a cab somewhere in town. I am sorry to say that this pretty much ruined any chance that I ever considered of going back to Roatan... the rudeness was beyond reason and I would never recommend this hotel to anyone after the entire experience.

“Great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2009

Stayed at Casa Calico for a week and loved it. Great price, clean, very spacious rooms and it was very relaxing...

I read an earlier review about someone thinking that the owner Jeff made them uncomfortable but we rather liked Jeff; He's different, but we liked him.

I think that this is a much better buy than Seagrape down the street in which we had money stolen...
