Las Verandas, for sunset views

Stays at Las Verandas are super-tranquil. The loudest noises are the lap of the waves and the trill of terns – and unlike most resorts in Roatán, this place has a beach to itself. The pool and al fresco restaurant-bar have mesmerizing sunset-over-the-sea views, and simple rooms – done out in plain beige tiles and whitewash – open onto lawned gardens with plenty of lounge chair space. There’s a golf course on the doorstep and, for a choice of restaurants, French Harbor village is a 15-minute golf-cart drive away.
