Some background; we've been traveling to Roatan, particularly West Bay, for years. We've stayed at hotels (on and off the beach), and condos on the beach. Arca is a newly renovated hotel and it was our first time staying here. If you like being RIGHT on the beach and walking distance to anything you need this is the place for you. You can literally walk a few feet from your hotel room to the beach. The hotel is small and quaint and has a nice restaurant, a bar on the beach, and a delightful pool. You can walk a few yards up the road and you'll find restaurants, markets, a pharmacy, and more. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast choices were varied and the food itself was delicious. Our server Jocelyn took amazing care of us all week! Our group stayed in 2 of the jungle junior suites, the Cayos Villa and the Port Royal Villa. The villas have balconies that face the ocean, and while you can't really see the water it was a serene and lovely view anyway. I will say if someone else is staying in the Deluxe Guanaja Suite, it is right in the middle of the 2 villas. We were a little worried about bothering the guests that were staying in that room; it is not a private balcony as you are semi-sharing it with your neighbor. The largest suite, Port Royal had a decent kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 large bedrooms with King beds, and the couch folded out into a surprisingly comfortable bed for our teenage nephew (Linens were provided). The space was large enough for 5, but honestly, if you spend much time in your room, you aren't enjoying West Bay! The Cayos Villa was great for close friends or family to share. I only say that because there is only 1 bathroom. Both kitchens had a nice-sized refrigerator. We didn't cook, but it seemed there were plenty of dishes to do so. The beds/linens/pillows were comfortable enough and we slept well, especially since there are ceiling fans and a mini-split AC in each room! The hotel provided bottled water, bathroom toiletries, and basic kitchen amenities like paper towels, etc....I didn't notice a coffee maker, but they put out coffee near the beach every morning before breakfast and of course served it with breakfast as well. Beach/pool towels were provided. A couple of suggestions: there was not a substantial place to store your clothes in the rooms. A small rod was provided to hang a few things, but if you did hang anything it made it difficult to access the shelf underneath it. Also, we had a group of friends and family (total of 8 in the 2 villas) and there was only one key for Cayos and 2 for Port Royal. There was a keypad on the door, not sure why they couldn't just program a code for guests. And while we stay in the water all day, some folks might like to have an umbrella for shade on the beach. That being said there were always plenty of beach chairs available and some shade depending on time of day. All in all, they did a great job with the new hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here!
