Got back from Roatan one week ago and stayed 9 nights at Lost Paradise.
Pros:
- The grounds are very well kept
- You are right on the bay
- Cabins are extremely clean (my wife even tipped the housekeeper)
- Owners are super people
- Your own spacious cabin with a nice front porch
- At the end of West End, so not that much traffic, but still a very easy walk to the main stuff (100-200 yards)
- Bed was comfortable
- A/C worked well and always had hot water
- WiFi in the office (free) The office is open till 8 or 9, can't remember which
Cons:
- Fosters = Friday and Sat night they blast rap till 2am
- Very slow to fix minor problems (4 days to get a new light bulb....welcoime to Roatan)
- Fosters = did I mention the rap music till 2am
Met several couples that stay there every year and just accept Fosters. Some said they wore ear plugs on Fri & Sat and that worked fine.
If you decide to stay there, ask for a bay-front cabin as far from Fosters as possible (Aries I think. Aquarius is the closest and where we stayed)
Can't be any help with Pura Vida, I always dive with Coconut Tree Divers.
