"Larisa, the house manager, was wonderful. She is a very hard worker, always washing the steps and keeping the house in pristine condition. She prepared a great breakfast for us each day, and three delicious dinners. You found a winner with Larisa. She made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. "

"Absolutely amazing. We cannot wait to come back."

"Staff is very friendly. Diving is excellent. Overwater bungalows are nice, especially the decks on the water with hammocks. Good snorkeling. Grounds are well kept. Free transportation to and from the airport. Gorgeous reef nearby makes for spectacular diving and snorkeling. "

"The host was great, providing all needed information and regularly checking in with us to see if we needed anything. The staff was reachable at all times and helped with anything we needed. The property had all the amenities expected plus some. I would definitely stay again as it was an exceptional location and had some of the best views!"

"Blue Bahia feels like family. We quickly learned every staff member’s name, and they made us feel at home. Becca set up a WhatsApp group for us before arrival, ensuring fast, helpful communication. Her daily messages with restaurant specials, entertainment, Roatan history, and local happenings were very useful, including specials from other local restaurants. Our room, The Wave, was spacious, with a full kitchen, breakfast bar, dining table, living room, large bedroom, closet, and a bathroom with double sinks. AC units in both rooms made for comfortable nights The resort’s small size meant it was never crowded, and help was always available. We had a rental car but could have used local cabs—West End and West Bay are close and affordable, and Libby was a great driver. The location is ideal for exploring gardens, nature parks, and avoiding cruise ship crowds. The beach has soft sand, reclining chairs, free paddle boards and kayaks and the reef is an easy swim (or use kayak/paddleboard to get to the reef and tie off on a buoy) for snorkeling. The pool was always clean and cool. Thanks to Jojo, Johnny, Cesar, Jessie, Jericho, Selema, Carlos, Becca, Kim, and Josh for making us feel welcome. Note: The public beach has some auto traffic, and a few yards into the ocean, the sand turns to silt and sea grass due to conservation rules."

"Our vacation started off unexpectedly as we had two separate issues with our flight that delayed us into Roatan by 2 days. That didn’t matter at all as Suzanne was so very gracious and allowed us to shift our dates on the spot to allow us to stay at the beautiful Casa Cowie Tree House for the same amount of nights. Suzanne and Jose are WONDERFUL! Their communication ahead of the stay and especially as we went through a terrible experience with our flight, went above and beyond. Now for the beautiful Casa Cowie property. We enjoyed every moment in this beautiful place. It is rustic and modern and amazing. Tucked into enough of the trees to get a jungle feel while being right on the water with amazing sunset and morning views. We even had dolphin shows available to us throughout the day from Anthony’s Key Resort!The location on Sandy Bay is quiet and beautiful and within walking distance of the amazing Spa Ban Suert and the Sunken Fish, our new favorite restaurant on the island….for now. :)In almost 11 years of marriage this was our fist chance at a honeymoon and the Casa Cowie Tree House along with the graciousness of Suzanne and Jose combined of course with the beauty of this island and kindness of its people made for a perfect second visit. We are already putting together the list of things to do for our next visit!"
