Cabana ON THE BEACH - Sandy Bay

Great comfortable home close to everything on the island. Just off the main road, this private beach area is in a resort setting without the crowds. This unit is the closest to the beach in the Sundancer community.
The island style cabana is nestled in a beautifully landscaped jungle canopy setting to keep the home cool and breezy. The beach front includes a private 300 ft pier accessible only by Sundancer guests. The has an upper deck for sunning, and shaded palapa over the water.
Just off the pier to the right is a natural deep water channel that allows larger sea life to come and go., Often seen are eagle rays, turtles, grouper, and large parrot fish. This natural opening is easy for boats to pick you up for fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and touring.

We are conveniently located in upper Sandy Bay, with grocery stores 5 minutes away. West End is about a 6 minute taxi ride headed west. The airport is 10 - 15 minutes away.
The Salty Mango restaurant is right next door to the east, along with the Blue Island Dive shop on the same property. Lawson's Rock is next door to the west, with a morning cafe, and restaurant. Anthony's Key Resort is 1 mile to the west with dolphin encounters, restaurant, plus a medical facility, offering COVID testing. You can rent a car or scooter to explore the island as well.

Laidback Tropical Private
This place was in a beautiful, jungle feel, private and very secure spot. Emasculate beach with a private community double decker pier with swim steps, hammock hooks and high jump area. Steps from the beach that’s groomed everyday. Fabulous community pool as well. The house was super clean. The house house greeted us a little bit after arrival and was only a text away if we needed anything. Conrad was so communicative before and during our stay. We LOVED this place and plan to come back!

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was nice and exactly what we needed for our stay. We are active people, so we were only there for sleeping and showering. A little bit further away from west end than we wanted, but was fine. We spent a lot of money in cab fare. The pool was awesome.

Beautiful, quiet little casita.
Perfect little casita for a quiet stay in Roatán. The location is perfect, easy to get to all areas and be away from them when a little rest and relaxation is needed. Diving (Blue Island Divers) is easily accesible from this location. Conrad was extremely helpful with all aspects of our vacation there. He's quick to reply to all questions and provides helpful insight to the planning and coordination. Highly recommend!

Before arriving on the island, Conrad reached out to give us clear directions, not only to the property we were staying in, but also the grocery store before hand. When we arrived at the property, Maritza, the property manager, met us in the parking area, and showed us all around the property, from the cabana itself, to the pool, laundry room, beach, and dock. Maritza was absolutely fantastic our entire stay!

Noisy construction
We were not informed about construction next door. Also, add listed Hot tub and dishwasher which were non-existent. Beach was not a swimming beach and ad implied that it was. Biggest complaint was not being informed about the construction next door. It was deafening and our unit was filled with diesel exhaust.

Roatan Visit
Cabana is located close to beach with views of ocean that were enjoyed. Unit is well equipped and met all our needs, we especially enjoyed BBQ! Luke the property manager was excellent throughout our stay from welcoming to our departure. We suggested an upgrade (toilet), which is being addressed. Pool was cloudy on occasion and it was addressed. It is a nice community of Cabanas, it was a pleasure enjoying the Sunset from the Dock with other vacationers. Overall we had a great stay and throughly enjoyed the magnificent snorkeling right off the dock and visiting the island.

Great stay in Sandy Bay
Beautiful spot. Stayed in one of the Sundancer cabanas close to the water. Cabana was exactly as described and included all the necessities. The pier was a great place to watch the beautiful sunsets. Beach area is not the best for swimming but you can jump off the pier or go to the pool. Must admit the pool needs a little TLC and updating but still decent. The location is very lush and peaceful and not a far drive to the beautiful West Bay Beach. Luke the property manager was readily available. We would definitely rent from here again.

Wonderful Stay - Great Location
We had a very nice 2 week stay at this cabana. First off, Conrad's communication prior to arriving was top notch! Then when we are arrived and throughout our stay Luke the property manager was fantastic! The location is great, steps to the beach with a pier that we spent most our days. You can snorkel right from the dock. It's a little ways out there but you really don't have to go anywhere else to snorkel. The cabana had everything we needed as far as amenities. Plan to stop at Eldon's grocery store for all your food needs. Including condiments and spices. There are none in the house. Clean, cozy and was roomy enough for 4 of us. We never even ran out of hot water with all our showers. We had a couple power outages but that's what happens on the island. We ended up renting a car which was perfect to be able to go where we want to go. But there were others that just used taxis and that worked fine too. Sundancer is in the perfect location. Turn right and your minutes from West End / West Bay. Or turn left out of the community and your minutes from the grocery store or to be able to head out East. Coconuts Bar and Grill is at the entrance. A very fun bar/grill with great waitstaff, good food and live music. Walk the beach to Lawson Rock deli for a nice lunch. There are other bar/restaurants on the beach with in walking distance but they were closed due to road construction. There is also a dive shop just a few doors down on the beach. We made many friendships from our stay - it's a great area to meet lots of people. Roatan is known for sand fleas and after rainy days for sure just be prepared. Just do your research on prevention because you don't want to let that deter your stay. Such a wonderful place! We highly recommend and will be back someday!

The cabana offers the right combination of comfort and convenience. You will be close to some of the island's nicest beaches while benefiting from the property's privacy. We really appreciated that the owner supplied purified water so that was a great amenity. The owner and property manager were extremely attentive and we highly recommend booking with them.
