Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort and Spa

Absolutely fabulous 4-night stay at the Grand Kimpton, Roatan. We were upgraded to a suite (an innocent misunderstanding about room we had booked) - next time we’ll probably reserve a suite from the beginning - gorgeous room and fantastic layout. Best snorkeling we’ve had in years right off the hotel beachfront - also beautiful pool and grounds. Our massages were excellent (arrive early to take full advantage of the spa amenities!). We ate at all the restaurants and each was very good. It is hard to choose what we liked “best” - but the courteous and friendly staff was The Best — I tried to keep a list of their names bc Every Person was really above and beyond in warm professionalism. We did not leave the property during this, our first time visit - it was a perfect place to relax and unwind. A special shout out to resort manager, Paloma Martinez - you are doing a superb job!

Four adults stayed mid April in a 2 bedroom condo on the top floor. Booked directly with the hotel online. All agreed that the design of the hotel buildings, public spaces, and grounds was beautiful. I never swim in hotel pools as I prefer the beach. However, the infinity pool was lovely and uncrowded as there were not many guests at this time of year. Nice public beach right in front of the hotel with fantastic snorkelling. Over the week my family explored the reef and saw spotted rays , octopus, in addition to many kinds of fish. The diving was excellent also. The hotel beach was roped off from the public beach. No problem getting chairs, again likely due to the time of year we were there. Great smash burger at the beach restaurant. Buffet breakfast offered until 11:00am at USD 30.00 per person offered a great selection. Good complimentary coffee every morning in the lobby. We also enjoyed the complimentary cocktail hour, where we watched the sun go down. Some nights there was a sunset gathering on the beach- amazing view. Very high level of service was consistent. All of the staff- front desk, shuttle drivers, pool, beach and restaurant- were attentive, warm, and helpful. Very impressed. Byron at the pool was fantastic. Our condo unit was large, clean, well-equipped, and nicely decorated. Huge balcony with nice views. Tip- if you rent a condo unit try to stop at Eldon's grocery store on the way to the hotel to pick up groceries. There is a small grocery store close to the hotel with limited selection. Toured the spa- beautiful- next time! We were all so impressed with the Kimpton Grand Roatan. Already thinking of returning next year.

What a wonderful experience. While the property and accommodations are beautiful, it’s the staff that makes the experience. The beach/grill staff, specifically Jimmy, Caesar, Carlson and Willard, went over and above to care for our family. Every single day. We would come back to this property just for them. Additionally, Witsell and Emma at the front desk made sure all our questions were answered. They were prompt and responsive always. And a shout out to Percy - we loved him. Looking forward to our next visit here.

I struggled with what to rate this property. The hotel itself is lovely -- very large rooms with balconies overlooking the ocean (my room was entry level and had a separate bedroom, full kitchen, large balcony and a water cooler (nice touch)); a beautiful pool; large, well-equipped gym; nice spa; and good restaurants. If I reviewed the hotel in a vacuum, I would give it 5 stars. But the hotel is very expensive (when you add in resort fees and taxes, it is well over $700 a night for an entry level room if you prepay - more if you don't). And for that cost, I expect a large private beach, a tub in the bathroom, and enough chaise lounges for the number of guests. The Kimpton, though lovely was on a long (but not wide) public beach filled with other hotels all butting up against one another. There were tons of people and not a lot of space. And there were a lot of security guards guarding the property at the beach area, which made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Additionally, the hotel does not have enough chaise lounges and all were reserved by early rising guests by the time I got down to the pool r beach at 10am. And, as large as the bathroom is in the room it only has a shower and no bath. Move this hotel to a private beach and add chaises and I would happily pay the $700 for the room/night. But as it is, I would much rather got a resort in Hawaii, Mexico, or the Caribbean and have a more relaxed, private, luxurious experience.

The Grand Roatan is absolutely beautiful. What made it extra special, though, was the wonderful staff. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted at the reception and offered a delicious cold pineapple drink. We enjoyed many island activities based on the recommendations of Concierge Lea. After asking us about our interests, she booked tours which we greatly enjoyed. We received an enthusiastic greeting from Lea every day of our stay. We stopped by the Sea Cat several times during our vacation. While the food was very tasty, we especially looked forward to our interaction with server Cesar. He has such a genuine welcoming way about him. When visiting the Grand Roatan, you'll be well taken care of by the staff, especially these two excellent employees.

We decided to head down to the Kimpton Grand Roatan to celebrate our anniversary and could not have picked a better beach destination! The property itself is located in an ideal location with a pristine beach and crystal clear ocean views. Our spacious suite came complete with a deck and plunge pool. We also enjoyed yoga classes on the third floor deck and a couples massage at the luxurious spa. As beautiful as the resort is, the overall service was even better as the entire staff was laser focused on ensuring that we had an amazing experience. Special shout outs to Angie, Mitzi and Laura from the first-class front desk crew and Luisa, Jair and Lovelee at the Alera restaurant. It was so sad to leave and we are already planning our return visit!

There really aren’t enough words to describe this special place. I was here celebrating my 50th birthday with my family and my first time staying at a Kimpton Hotel. The grounds were absolutely stunning!! The staff amazing!! From Lia at the front desk, to the bellmen Chris, Jordan, Joshua. The waitstaff at Alera-Delmi, Arthur, Ricky, Alejandro, Logan and Carlos with the tasty omelettes. August the pool and beach attendant.. Percy the shuttle driver..The ladies at the spa.. Tarnisha, Jackie…These are some of the nicest people on the planet. Thank you for such an incredible experience. You all truly made my 50th birthday so memorable and we hope to be back again soon!

What a great stay in the hotel. The property has been newly remodeled with great taste and the scenary is astonishing. Could not enjoy more the views at the beach in different moments of the day, to the sunset summit. Food is great and the variety of restaurants offer great options we could complement with other options in West Bay. Snorkeling with the kids is a must. It is a real wonder to have the coral reef so close to shore!!! The staff is very friendly and you can feel the excitement for them to be working for the best hotel in the island. Luxury, scenary, food and service. My favorite in Roatan

We had a fabulous time at the Kimpton Grand, firstly the hotel is just incredible, it’s modern and clean with a hint of local decor which makes it special. Our room was beautiful and had everything we needed. There was a large buffet breakfast and the food at the restaurant was first class. The pool area is large with plenty of loungers which the staff set up for you and then you are just a few steps away from the beach. We also loved the happy hour on the veranda at 5pm, a great way to mix and meet other guests. But what was most impressive about the hotel was the staff, they could not have been more attentive. Anything we needed we only had to ask and it was arranged, whether it was a taxi or reservations at local restaurants. We were treated like kings!
