RESTAURANTS:

The East End of Roatán has many restaurants a short drive away and a few you can kayak to. Just make sure you tie up the kayak and bring some money. Unfortunately, there are no restaurants that you can walk to.

Three villages are close that offer authentic island Caribbean food. Punta Gorda you can see from Añoranza and kayak there. Oakridge is 5 minutes away and Jonesville is about 10 minutes away. Both Oakridge and Jonesville are on the south side of Roatán.

Here are a few favorite restaurants on the East End of Roatán working from West to East. Some are cash only but we have indicated the locations that take PayPal or credit cards below.


Kristi’s Overlook - First Bight (Located 7.4 miles (12 km) from Añoranza or 24 minutes)

This is one of our favorite restaurants on the East End. Maybe that’s because we can’t go a week without TexMex. Kristi’s has great food, margaritas and views of the south shore over looking Parrot Tree. We stop here a lot on the way to Añoranza to pick up a to-go order when we don’t want to cook after a flight. You can call the order in when you leave the grocery store, Eldon’s, and they will have it ready for you when you swing by. It’s right on the main road to Aõranza. It’s also a great place to stop when you are on your way back from golfing at the Black Pearl, Little French Key, Big French Key or Brady’s Cay. They take PayPal and Credit Cards


Bella’s Place - Politilly (Located 4.3 miles (7 km) from Añoranza or 15 minutes)

    Paya Bay’s restaurant sits atop a bluff with views of two half-moon beaches, Roatan’s majestic hills, the barrier reef, distant islands, and the multi-hued Caribbean.

They take credit cards.

    Camp Bay Lodge - Camp Bay (Located 5.7 miles (9.2 km) from Añoranza or 22 minutes)

    We love Camp Bay Lodge for the food, drink, and chill island vibe. You can lay in a hammock on the beach drinking a Monkey La-La while watching kitesurfing. It’s a little before you get to La Sirena. They take credit cards.


    La Sirena - Camp Bay (Located 6 miles (9.7 km) from Añoranza or 24 minutes)

    La Sirena is a small restaurant over the water with great Rum Punch and Lobster. It doesn’t get more island tropical than this. People drive over and hour from West Bay to eat here.

    At Cliffsides, they offer casual American fare with southern flavors mixed in with a whole bunch of Tex-Mex and some international favorites as well.

    Road Trip West

    If you venture to the West End of the Island, we have some favorites there too. It will take you about 20 to 30 minutes to get to French Harbor, 50 minutes to get to the West End and another 10 minutes to get to West Bay. We always encourage our guests to explore the whole island which is why we recommend renting a SUV.

    In our opinion, the best way to go west is by boat. You can charter a boat and have it pick you right up at our dock.


    French Harbor: 

    Herby’s Sports Bar & Grill located in the Clarion Suites - Roatán at Pineapple Villas - The best place on island to watch a game.

    Gio's Roatán - The best place to get Spiny Caribbean King Crab (Mithrax Spinosissimus). Indigenous to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the taste and tenderness of the crab is unparalleled.

    Las Verandas Hotel - It's located in Pristine Bay where the golf course is and has a great poolside restaurant for lunch. It's also a great place to stop on the way from the airport to Añoranza because it's close to the Eldon's grocery store in French Harbor.

    Palmetto Bay:

    Roatán Island Brewing is a great spot to head after you arrive to Roatán to grab some beer and lunch before you drive to Añoranza. It’s about 10 minutes east of the airport, heading to Añoranza. 

    Each week they have a specialty food, beer launch, or special event. It's best to check their Facebook page for what's going on at the brewery. Currently, they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
