Amazing West End Rentals
May is a great time in Roatan, the weather comes in nice and warm, the high season crowds drop away and you can sit back and enjoy the slower pace of life that Roatan is famous for. That said, tourism on the island continues to grow, services are expanding and there is lots of things happening.
This month in our newsletter we are focusing on one the islands iconic locations, West End. Located on either side of Half Moon Bay the main West End road is lined with dive shops, restaurants, stores, small hotels and rentals properties.

Villas Del Playa #4
Best location in West End -Pool, Kayaks, & Large Balcony
I spent a week at this beautiful villa with my husband and two children (ages 4 and 7) and we absolutely loved it! The house itself was very spacious. The beds were comfortable and the A/C was an absolute must. Nice kitchen and appliances. Huge closets to put your clothing in. The kids really enjoyed the big tub in the master bath. Overall our favorite part of the house was the patio. Beautiful sunsets, spacious and just a great place to hang out. The location was superb!

Buy Locally Made in Roatan
Purchasing souvenirs from local artisans is a boost to the local economy. Think about it: rather than putting your money into the hands of large corporations and manufacturers who mass-produce goods, you’re giving it to a local person who’s likely to turn around and put that money back into the local economy.
Buying local also means that the goods you purchase aren’t shipped in from across the country or globe. In other words, a local artisan uses much fewer resources in order to create the souvenir you want — no need to waste fuel and packaging materials.
Most importantly, your dedication to local artisans could be the key to allowing them to continue to create unique pieces of art, food, jewelry, clothing, etc. Who knew the purchase of a souvenir could contribute so much?
A great place to buy locally made gifts is the monthly Roatan Island Brewery Craft Market, its also a great chance to sample the local beer, and some great food. For upcoming events follow them on social media or check in at the Brewery.
