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!

My family and I enjoyed three wonderful meals at the Lily Pond Guest House - our sincere thanks and gratitude to Zak and Chef Luis for the kind hospitality and warm welcome that we always received when we arrived. The food was always fresh and delicious, and after experimenting with many other restaurants, we always came back to the Lily Pond Guest House when we wanted a great, filling meal for a reasonable price. The fresh snapper, steak, and lobster were the best we had - keep up the great work!

EAT or SLEEP here. Preferably both! Tranquil, Clean and Funky.
Place is put together by a "Zak" a guy with a clear eye on hospitality and good food.
Their chief "Luis" is a wiz with the local seafood. And best yet; prices are reasonable. Amazing lobster for 15bucks!
Warm welcoming, only problem I can see with this place is you will never want to leave!

We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary at The Lily Pond, and stayed in the Penthouse Suite. It was well equipped, nicely decorated, and it was our home away from home. We had a fantastic time visiting with owners Zach and Luis who made us feel very welcome. I think that we ended every evening with dessert and friendly chatter into the wee hours of the morning. The food was absolutely amazing, and Chef Luis was kind enough to make us a special flan dessert for our anniversary dinner. We would highly recommend a stay at The Lily Pond, and definitely make a visit for dinner. We promise that you will not be disappointed. It will be one of your best meals on the island. Don't worry about the calories as the desserts are well worth it! The beach area is just a hop, skip and a jump away and you can easily access the reef. It's in a quiet area but is accesible to all of the bars, internet cafe, mini marts that are all within walking distance. We will definitely return to The Lily Pond!
