Hotel Guanaja

My experience at the hotel surpassed any expectation. The rooms and views are just dreamy, service was detail oriented and friendly. Location is ideal if you’re looking for a private, cozy, intimate getaway. Food was yummy, debating on whether or not that was the best part. I crossed the Caribbean with one of their pancakes on a to-go wrapper (yes, that good) I took my parents, who are elders, for a 3 night stay and they’re already planning to go back! It was a vacation full of “first times” that I will never forget!

Hotel Gunaja is a very relaxing place, with amazing staff!
The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, the bed is like a cloud!
You will find a very tasty and vary menu.
The staff in the dive center is very professional and will take you to beautiful dive sites.
Highly recommend.

What a nice energy!
Ocean sound, nice breeze, many birds. Stunning place. Well maintained resort with great cooks as staff. Beautiful ocean views. A perfect place to recover from the city life. Diving was breathtaking stunning, fishing a lot of adrenaline, and active hikes to the waterfall.
From the warmest welcome to having a new family when we left. We will be back.

Hotel Guanaja deserves 5 stars on service alone! The manager, Gabby, and all of her staff provided excellent service throughout our week long stay. The food was excellent and abundant! Fresh fruit, baleadas, and other dishes kept me full throughout our stay. The sunsets and sunrises are amazing! I tried fishing from the shore with no success, but I was able to enjoy the swing on the dock. I highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Guanaja!

HOTEL GUANAJA was a great place to stay for our one night trip. We came on our boat from Roatan to visit the island and were pleasantly surprised. Gabriela, the hotel manager was very nice and accommodating, she explained all the activities offered and we chose the chocolate making tour which was very interesting. The rooms are spacious and clean and the food was delicious. Breakfast is included which is a plus. We will definitely come back!

We stayed at the hotel for 7 nights in May 2024, and did 6 days of diving. The manager, Gabby, and hotel staff were gracious and accommodating. Our room was a sea front cabana. The room was spacious and the patio had a swing and hammock. Generally, we used the a/c at night and opened the shutters during the day. The shutters had screens allowing the breeze to come through but not bugs. The food at the hotel is very good, and the staff were willing to accommodate my vegetarian diet. Our divemaster was Roberto. He was friendly and great at finding the smallest creatures! Roberto and the boat drivers also arranged for us to have lunch at the Green Flash and dinners at Graham's Place and Mi Casa Too. All the food was yummy! Unfortunately while we were there the water was rough and the smoke from mainland wildfires muted the sun, so the boat rides were bumpy and the water was not as bright as we would have liked. Getting to the island we chartered a prop plane from Roatan and going home we took the ferry from Guanaja. Both are good options. Keep in mind you are going to an island that is less developed than more popular tourist locations. All our travel was by boat. We were not in a car from the moment we landed on the island. The electricity can be finicky making Wi-Fi spotty too.

Our Rotary club Roatan Utila Guanaja had our weekly meeting at Hotel Guanaja and spent the night. Amazing customer service and facilities. Well maintained. Cannot say enough good things about facility, management and staff. And a beautiful location.

Beautiful location. Beach front cabanas. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The meals are fantastic. Our stay was exactly what we were looking for, quiet, peaceful. The hotel has lots of water sports equipment for use when we wanted to explore the crystal clear Caribbean water. The staff were amazing. Every individual we interacted with was friendly and helpful. They treat you like family. We can’t wait to return!

Our medical brigade team stayed at Hotel Guanaja over spring break 2024. We were on the island to hold 5 days of medical clinics for the wonderful people of Guanaja. I cannot say enough positive things about the hotel and staff. They were accommodating to the needs of our 25 members by providing high quality meals, helping with logistics, and serving our every need. While we came to serve the Honduran people, they went above and beyond to serve us. One of the managers, Wilson Calix, ensured that everything went smoothly and acted as an unofficial member of our team. The same can be said for one of their staff. Mcxine Baca, who assisted us with translation and was adored by all. The rest of the staff, while not named here, were also amazing. We will definitely be staying there again.

We had a short 3 day trip that was filled with snorkeling, diving, flats fishing! Roberto, Wilson and crew did an amazing job coordinating our daily activities including picnic lunch each day! This resort is a great place to relax, slow down and enjoy the island life! Absolutely will be back again!

This was a wonderful place to stay with a great staff and dive crew. We were there for a week in a sea front cabana which was very spacious and clean. We were beach front and could hear the waves as we slept. If you plan on visiting I would recommend bringing some bug spray for the sand flies.
The food at the hotel was also delicious, we did not have a bad meal our entire stay. They were also able to work with my Fiancé who has celiac and required gluten free meals. Tishani was our bartender / server who took good care of us our entire stay.
The dive crew was amazing, our captain Jorge was very knowledgeable of the area and we always felt safe with him.
Roberto was our dive guide and our go to person for everything during our stay. When we went diving Roberto was the guide, when we wanted to paddle board he retrieved them for us, when we wanted to purchase shirts he took care of us, literally anything we needed he was happy to help.
Overall I would highly recommend Hotel Guanaja for anybody looking for a nice remote getaway or looking to do some scuba diving. We definitely enjoyed our time there.

Hotel Guanaja is an absolute paradise! Our cabana was steps from the beach where our kids could fish, snorkel or take scuba lessons at anytime during our trip. Every morning the grounds were maintained perfectly and fresh, sweet coconuts were gathered by the friendly gardeners, chopped a few times with a machete, and ready to drink for the ultimate natural morning hydration. We discussed our activity plans for the next day every evening with Wilson, the manager and everything was always perfectly ready to go. Most days we would pack a cooler with lunch and beverages, and Darryl, one of the local guides on staff at the hotel, would take us to a picture perfect caye without any other people in sight where we would spend most of the day exploring the coral reefs, fishing, and searching for iguanas, hermit crabs and the like. We were given historical facts constantly about the island and the cayes around the area whenever we would take a trip on the water or in a small taxi that could come and drive around the island on a tour. It is truly an incredible $5 taxi drive along the coast and into the towns within the mountains of the island. We rarely ate outside of the resort, the food, prepared by local staff was absolutely incredible. Many people come from around the island and other resorts to eat and hang out in the relaxed setting in the bar, so you know you're in the right place.

Loved the quiet setting, wonderful meals and everyone that works there is so kind and thoughtful. Really beautiful place, clean and well cared for. My husband enjoyed the scuba diving and fly fishing (I am not a diver or fisherman but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute on the comfy porch hammock). I could not have enjoyed my birthday boat ride & Waterfall hike more! They did so much to make my day special.

Good atmosphere and above all an impressive nature.

We absolutely loved this place and all the hospitality employees. We will most definitely be back again. Gabby, Wilson and Jose are the names I remember. The food served was amazing as well, the view is spectacular!

Hotel Guanaja is a dream location. Amazing food. Affordable prices. Beautiful views. Rustic atmosphere. And, above all, some of the most kind and lovely staff that you will meet. Everyone at Hotel Guanaja makes you feel at home and is incredibly accommodating and helpful. The diving is fantastic and some of the best in the world. The dive masters make you feel comfortable, no matter your skill level, and are great at pointing out special characteristics underwater. We’ll be back!

Excellent customer service.
Excellent atmosphere.
Maximum peace of mind.
