I loved Lily Pond House. My partner and I were staying at a very nice and prefectly adequate hotel in the local area, and stumbled across Lily Pond House whilst out walking one evening. We had dinner cooked by Luis the chef, (very good calamari, and were given a free glass of wine because the steak was not cooked to my requirements). Zak, the owner and creator of Lily Pond House came out and talked to us for some time, telling us about how he had come to Roatan on a 2 week holiday 6 years previously, and ended up building Lily Pond House and staying ever since. Suffice to say, we fell in love with the place and immediately requested to leave our existing accomodation and move in ASAP.
The house itself is built over 5 floors and is like a rambling treehouse, almost like something out of a movie. There is a narrow, twisty spiral staircase curling up the side of the building, and a sun terrace with stunning views to the ocean on the roof. I loved laying on the roof, watching the woodpeckers and listening to the windchimes. The rooms are big, and our room, Treehouse, was right in the thick of the foliage. It was so relaxing to hear the sound of the wind in the branches, and the four poster/ mosquito-netted bed was a very cute touch. At night, Lily Pond House is decked in fairy lights and lanterns, and it has a magical feel.
Zak and Luis are charming and easy-going, and Zak is rightfully proud of the baby he has created. Watch this space- he has bigger plans yet for Lily Pond House!
