i did not personally stay at foster's but felt the need to write this to warn others. we went to roatan last year and stayed at las sirenas. during the day we were trying to find the foster's restaurant as we were planning to come back for their famous lobster dinner. we ran into a friendly canadian couple and asked for directions when we had walked too far down the beach. they told us they were staying at fosters and can show us the way. during our chat they told us that they had booked with foster's last minute and were unhappy with their room. they were a very down to earth couple in their 50s and were there for diving and definitely didn't seem like they were fussy or spoiled. they actually wanted to show us the room so they could share their experience. it was a ground level apartment right beside the dive shop. the room looked like a run down cabin that had been left unattended for years. i felt dirty just being in there. furniture was old and dusty. there were stains on the walls, rust in the bathroom and fridge, and overall a very dreary apartment. it was supposed to be a fully stock kitchen but there was no coffee machine and barely enough plates and utensils for a meal for two. they showed us a small tv in the room and laughed that it wasn't plugged in when they got there and when they did plug it in it didn't work. so it was purely for show. they said they are trying to make the most of it wasn't going to let a bad room spoil their vacation. i felt bad for them and thought if they saw our room at las sirenas they would be shocked at the comparison. maybe other rooms were better but i wouldn't count on it. i would not recommend this hotel.

We spent a week at Fosters in the upstairs duplex cabana. Although it could use some updating for the price to stay right on the beach you are getting a great deal. The room has air conditioning we had no interruption of power, they cleaned the room every day you are rarely in the room, it met all our needs. We especially enjoyed our meals out on the deck watching the people walk by and just laying in the hammock as a passing shower. We enjoyed the happy hour nightly, the food was wonderful, especially the lobster night. Where can you get a meal for $12 for lobster but in Roatan at Fosters. Leslie was wonderful to work with and went out of her way to help us when we could not get money out of the atm. Foster's beach was always clean and not busy compared to the other end, as the cruise ship people are dropped off there. It's very quiet and peaceful to enjoy some down time. Our price included being picked up from the airport which was very nice benefit, especially after standing in the long line going through immigration. We got our luggage and went outside and they were waiting for us. We went directly to the hotel, checked us in and we were on the beach enjoying our afternoon. They are a family resort, where people come back and they greet them like family.We really enjoyed our time in Roatan especially the snorkeling.

I stayed in Foster's West Bay with an old college buddy at the beginning of November 2011. The location is amazing. You are situated at the end of the beach so you can have your own space, but can also take the short walk down to some of the other spots. The restaurant is great. The staff is friendly, and it is probably the best breakfast you will have in Roatan. I stayed in a simple cabana with two beds, fridge, sink, table, and bathroom. Nothing fancy, but it fit perfectly for what two single guys on a budget who wanted to explore Roatan were looking for. The rooms were cleaned daily, and that was no small task given the crowd that poor lady was catering to. If you are looking for a 5 star resort, go to a Sandals with everybody else. If you want a true Honduras experience that won't break the bank, Fosters is the place to be!

I stayed in Foster's West Bay with my husband and three kids in February 2011. We had rented the Upper Round House which has two queen size beds and a single bed, a small kitchen and great veranda with excellent beach and sea view. We were very unlucky with the weather is it poured with rain the first four days. The weather was so bad that we could not do anything but run from our room to Foster's restaurant and back. The food at the restaurant was nice and we were happy that their small reception area had computers with internet as well as WIFI at the restaurant. After the rain stopped we explored the area, took the water taxi to town and the kids went diving with the dive school at the premises. Nice people at the dive school. We explored the other hotels and resorts along the beach.Some of of them are large, concrete buildings. What I liked most about Foster's was that the casitas are all build of wood and the place looks very friendly. The room was clean and decent. Not great but I did not expect that for that price.
