We returned from a fantastic week at the Blue Bahia in February with our family that consisted of 3 adults and 3 kids. We stayed in the largest unit, The Loft, which we found very spacious. It was two floors and had A/C units that worked very well that we only really used for sleeping. We so enjoyed spending time on the balcony in the hammock or watching the kids below play in the pool. The staff were so friendly! We felt super safe at the Blue Bahia. Our kids loved running down to the Beach grill and down to the beach to play with other kids or watch a movie. Everyday the managers Becca and Adam greeted us and sent us messages on WhatsApp regarding recommendations and events at other restaurants etc. we had housekeeping every day which was much appreciated with the sand! Sulema, our housekeeper even cut up our whole watermelon and had it waiting for us in the fridge after a day of exploring the island. It was so nice having the dive shop on site. Although we didn’t really dive this time, our son took advantage of the Discovery Scuba class our first day. The beach itself was clean and raked but not the most swimmable FYI with young kids. There is a lot of seagrass. But honestly, we didn’t mind because we spent most of our days exploring other beaches or taking tours to East End and honestly if you have kids, they will LOVE the pool. We loved that the dolphin encounter was just up the beach a few minutes at Anthony’s key. It was so convenient having the Beach Grill as well onsite. The food was actually quite tasty and the drinks were so yummy! They had events or live music every night. So nice to relax after a long day out. We were actually so happy we didn’t stay in West Bay after seeing how crowded it was during the day and didn’t feel it was as safe with the kids to be out at night. The Blue Bahia was super close to West End which we enjoyed a lot, so many good restaurants and shops. A rental car really is recommended if you stay in Sandy Bay. All and all we had a fantastic time at the Blue Bahia and were treated like family or old friends! Our kids are already asking when we can go back!! Don’t hesitate to book here!

This was our first trip to Roatan and we were not disappointed. Blue Bahia was exactly as advertised. It is a low key resort with a great chill vibe. We were greeted with great hospitality and truly felt a part of the community from day one. Becca, Adam, Josh, Kim, and all the staff were exceptionally welcoming and happy to assist with questions and valuable suggestions. Every morning we got a very helpful message of specials and happenings around the island. The included breakfast was fantastic and you got to make your choice from their regular menu. My only initial reservation was that the affordable price was too good to be true. Those were false concerns because it was a fantastic value for a great resort. Tailor made for divers. The Sandy Bay Divers were great to dive with. They seemed to do a great job grouping experienced divers with experienced divers and novice with novice. Bottom time was maximized. Location is ideal as well. Secluded enough for relaxation and close enough to activities that you won’t be inconvenienced. You won’t be disappointed booking this resort.

Blue Bahia is out of the mainstream hustle & bustle of the West End. About 5 minutes by car, it feels secluded on the beach. We visited twice during our week in Roatan. The owners are so personable and really care about the experience. Sunset here alone is worth the search for the restaurant. We enjoyed the Wednesday 2-tail lobster dinner and the tacos are really favorable.

Kim, Josh, Becca and Josh are hosts extraordinaire and the property is wonderfully intimate, clean and all good vibes. Every detail is considered from a daily WhatsApp event message, to virtually immediate responses to any request. We quickly realized most of the guests were return visitors, which is a huge compliment in itself. The food at the grill is only exceeded by the service. If we are ever on Roatan again, we will 100% stay with Kim and Josh at the Blue Bahia! Thanks @bluebahia

Lovely stay. The staff and owners really have a family vibe that is so welcoming! We came to dive and with a dove shop on site it was so convenient. The condos are super comfortable amd simple. We didn’t cook because the restaurant was so easy and nice but the kitchen would have everything one would need. Easy peasy life here. Thanks friends.

This was our first trip to Roatan, and after reading Trip Advisor reviews and visiting lots of web sites we selected Blue Bahia Resort. We stayed in Sunset 1, which is one of the condos over the restaurant - it has an awesome covered deck that has an unobstructed view of the ocean - worth the extra $! Being over the Beach Grill restaurant wasn't a problem, they close before 10 p.m. so the noise was minimal as we headed to bed. As others have said, the staff at both the resort and the restaurant are all friendly and helpful - Becca and Adam run the resort, Johnny and Wally (to name a few) serving in the restaurant. It rained a LOT while we were there, and we enjoyed the Beach Grill several evenings rather than venture out into the deluge. Becca provided contact info for several drivers, so even without a car we were able to explore the island some and visit West End. We were there to dive, and Sandy Bay Divers on site were awesome (see separate review). Due to the rain and the muddy runoff, we were not able to snorkel in front of resort, maybe next trip! Book Blue Bahia if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing setting, clean and well stocked condos, and excellent service.

I cannot say enough great things about Blue Bahia Resort – Sandy Bay - and their owners Adam and Becca. I experienced an unplanned extended stay due to passport issues and spent my second week on the island with these folks and I should have been there the whole time. Boutique resort with onsite bar/grille and fantastic dive shop. Condos were perfect w/ regular maid service – entire BBR staff felt like friends and family – just an overall fantastic, comfortable place to stay. Adam and Becca were extremely accommodating helping us coordinate outings and transportation as needed, but not much need to leave this place especially if you enjoy daily diving.

Blue Bahia offers phenomenal experience and service. We are in an oceanfront condo, with a restaurant and bar 10 feet away. Everyone here is so extremely friendly. The AC is great, the condo is better than advertised. With maybe 14 rooms, it's small and quiet. The pool is gorgeous. We have been in it every day at least. The owner greeted us personally within an hour of arrival, after having texted with me room access and welcome info. Every request has been given impeccable, immediate service. The dive shop is Sandy Bay Divers. Great, friendly, flexible. We will be coming back.

Review: Blue Bahia Just finished a week-long stay here, and it was fantastic. Seriously, 10/10 would stay here again. Accommodation: We stayed in one of the Sunset View rooms over the restaurant. Good, clean and comfortable with a fantastic patio that, unsurprisingly, was a great place to see the sunset. Kitchen was big and provisioned enough that we made our own breakfast most days. Despite having our bedroom right over the bar, the noise never got to us. Location: I liked that Sandy Bay is a quieter area than the bigger touristy spots like West End and West Bay — particularly on days when the cruise ships were in port at Coxen Hole. That said, those areas are pretty short cab rides away, so they’re accessible enough. Beyond that, it’s a quick walk to a couple other resorts that provide other options for getting a drink or a meal. Diving: I went diving with Sandy Bay Divers, which is located within the Blue Bahia resort but has different owners. They were great, too. It was telling that almost each dive I took had a group that usually included at least one local. It’s very much a community type vibe. Kristi and John run it well, and Ernie and Mekela were great dive masters. Food: We enjoyed the restaurant in the resort, too. Good food, good service. Perhaps my biggest regret of the trip was going to another restaurant when the Beach Grill had their weekly wings special. Normally I enjoying eating the local fare when traveling, but the owners of the resort and restaurant are from Buffalo, which made it more intriguing. Staff: Which brings me to the best part of Blue Bahia: the management and staff team. Becca and Adam (resort managers) were super welcoming and responsive. I particularly appreciated their willingness to offer recommendations of other restaurants, as well as calling cabs to help us get there. Becca even hauled ass to the airport on our departure day to bring me the wedding ring that I’d stupidly left in the safe. She didn’t have to do it, still she did with a smile. That feeling pervades throughout the staff. A few nights, my wife and I played cards at the bar with Carlos, Jessy and/or Adam. It was comfortable enough that we got all the usual trash talk. Just a super fun, laidback way to spend a week. (Caution, however: Carlos, in particular, is a shark with an Uno deck.)
