The Views is an exclusive 6 unit private and individually owned complex with incredible Caribbean and reef views, private pool, parking, garden and rooftop palapas and a great location near the beach, dining and nightlife area of West End.
It has ocean views (including of the sunset) and the interior has all the luxuries of back home. It is a good walk uphill (about 10 minutes though not all is uphill) and upstairs (it is on the ground floor but there is one flight from parking level to the pool and another from the pool to the buildings) but the views are worth it. If you would rather not walk, there is a scooter rental place in West End that rents for about $180/week (sometimes cheaper during slower times).
The condo is located in Sunset Villas, a quiet safe neighborhood in West End. The condo is less than a 8 minute walk to the main strip of West End where you will find shops, more than 20 restaurants, dive shops, bars, a beach, world class snorkeling, and more.
West End is unique like a Jimmy Buffet village, think Margaritaville, where there are bars and restaurants all along the main road right on the Caribbean, what other Caribbean islands were like 40 years ago, a true tropical paradise to be enjoyed.
This is a well-appointed new 2 bedroom condo at The Views in the Sunset Estates area of West End. This unit has a commanding view of the Caribbean and is 500 yards up from the beach and main area, West End Road. Guests will really enjoy the comfortable tropical Tommy Bahama furniture and the deck to enjoy the constant trade winds of the Caribbean. Each room has a separately controlled air conditioner if ever needed as the trade winds blow throughout the condo. The average annual temperature on Roatan Island is 85 degrees F/29 degrees C so you can wear your shorts day and night. Roatan is one the top dive destinations and the snorkeling is excellent too.
1 King Tommy Bahama bed with lots of pillows in each of the bedrooms to accommodate up to 4 people(2 couples or a family of 4)
There is a Caribbean view from the bed in the master bedroom!
The condo itself is a 2 bedroom 2 bath layout. Open concept Kitchen, Dining and Living area make this a lovely location for 2 couples or a small family. Guests are able to use the guest bathroom without having to go through the bedroom.
There is even a Caribbean view from the pool!
One of the best spots is the large deck area that overlooks the pool and also has a view of the Caribbean sea.
Although not necessary, we recommend renting a vehicle for convenience and exploring the island of Roatan.

The rate does not include electricity. Electricity is quite expensive on Roatan. We found that including electricity in the price made people want to get their money's worth by leaving the A/Cs constantly on at full blast and every light in the place on. Not only is it eco unfriendly, it meant we had to tack on an extra $270 / week to the rental rate. So instead of charging fees for laundry, A/C , and so forth, it is easier and fairer to charge to for electricity instead. We read the meter at check-in and check-out and use the previous month's bill to determine the rate.
Assuming there are 4 people in the condo and you turn the lights off when not in use and only use the ACs in the bedrooms at night, the electricity should be between $10 - $15 / day.
