B&B in Bay Islands

"This was our second stay. Both times were wonderful. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We tried several things on the menu at the restaurant during our two week stay and found that everything is prepared with fresh ingredients and looks as good as it tastes. The restaurant staff filled our insulated cups and ice bag with ice every day. The cleaning staff have the place shining. It always smells clean in the common areas. The front desk staff were also great helping us get whatever we needed (taxis, extra towels). The owners are on site daily, talking with guests, and working to make your stay the best possible. We loved spending time on the balcony or at the pool/spa area where it feels like you have the whole place to yourself. The beach, restaurants, shops, and even West End are all within walking distance. We want to especially thank Omar, Kenneth, Eduardo, Elliot, Amy, and Sue (not her full name but she is at front desk). Although we didn’t get names of cooks or cleaning staff, we also thank them. I dive and the dive shop, divemasters, and boat captains can’t be beat!"

"A Perfect Paradise – Stunning Beach, Incredible Staff, and Delicious Food! Our stay at Arca Boutique Hotel was nothing short of amazing! This beautiful, relaxing resort features 16 well-appointed suites and is set on one of the most breathtaking beaches I’ve ever seen. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for by the incredible staff. A special shout-out to Nash, who greeted us with the biggest smile and made a fantastic first impression. She was informative and kind as she walked us around the property and to our room. Mario is a nonstop worker—always raking, sweeping, and keeping the grounds immaculate from morning until night. Unlike other resorts where groundskeepers seem to disappear, Mario is constantly making sure everything looks pristine. Mainer, our bartender, kept the drinks flowing and made sure we were always taken care of. Chef Kevin prepared an unforgettable meal with our fresh catch of the day, and Tevin was an exceptional waiter who never missed an order. Near the end of our stay, we met Olive, who, like Nash, had an infectious smile and a genuine willingness to help. We also have to mention the security officer, who went above and beyond to make those who were uneasy about traveling abroad feel comfortable. He was always attentive, reassuring, and happy to answer any questions we had. And the food—wow! Every meal was delicious, but I have to say, the steamed vegetables and chicken tenders were surprisingly out of this world."

"Gorgeous property. Loved staying at this resort. The lush, green natural landscaping with sandy paths and rope-lined wooden trails were a dream. Clean beach with incredible coral reefs and snorkeling right in front of the hotel, and the infinity pool was right on the beach. Perfect for a fun, relaxing family vacation! We stayed in a bungalow and really enjoyed the privacy and deck. Short but steep uphill climb to get to our specific bungalow, which we didn’t mind, but might not be for everyone. We booked our room with breakfast included, definitely worth it! The breakfast buffet had many delicious options. Service could be a bit slow, especially around the pool, but we found that to be the case at pretty much every restaurant on the island. My favorite meal at the resort was at the SeaCat. I ordered the garifuna soup and my husband had the fried fish. Both were delicious! The kids enjoyed angus burgers with fries. Favorite drink was definitely the piña colada."
