*Professional Photos Coming Soon. Looking for a true island chic Caribbean vacation? Añoranza is located on the island of Roatán far away from the tourists and cruise ships. Our 2 new ocean front Casitas offer guests privacy with their own plunge pool, large deck, living room and full kitchen. You will be welcomed by the Caribbean views from every inch of the casita. Our goal since 2019, when our 1st Villa opened, has been to leave guests longing to return after the Añoranza experience. WELCOME TO AÑORANZA where you STOP LONGING and START LIVING!! Casita 3 was complete May 2024. Our shades have not been installed so if you plan on sleeping in, please bring a sleep mask. The sun rises early in Roatán. Privacy should not be an issue because the Casita is located on a bluff oceanfront to the Caribbean. We offer fiber optic internet so if you need to work and be on Zoom calls we have you covered. If you’re looking for a true Caribbean island experience, Añoranza is the place for you. If you are looking for a place like Cabo or Tulum, we’re not the destination for you. Leave your designer bags, shoes, jewelry, and clothes at home. All you need to pack are swimsuits, cover-ups, rash guards and flip flops. Also, if you are looking for nightlife, we recommend booking in West End or one of the destinations mentioned above. Don’t get us wrong, we love Cabo and Tulum but we don’t come to the east side of Roatán for that experience. There are no restaurants within walking distance but you can kayak to a few restaurants or drive 5 minutes to the villages of Oakridge or Punta Gorda to get authentic Caribbean island food. If you don’t want to leave Añoranza we offer full size kitchens for you to cook or hire our private chef, Dalia, to cook. From the moment our guests open the door to the Añoranza’s Casita 3 and see the view of the reef, we want to create an experience they will be longing to return to. Our Customer Experience Manager, Dalia, lives on property and will be your personal concierge during your stay. Casita 3 is located next to Casita 2 and is the most private Casita on property. It has an open concept king size bed, living room, and full kitchen area. The kitchen has a gas range, dishwasher, fridge, coffee maker, blender and all cooking appliances and utensils you should need. If you decide you do not want to cook, we can set up our personal chef, Dalia, for one special meal or your entire stay. We also have our own well on property along with a UV filter for the entire Casita and a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink so you can drink the water and brush your teeth with it. The living room has a comfy couch so you can curl up and watch TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ or a movie on our smart TV. You should be able to connect to Hulu through Disney+ but the Hulu App does not work directly. There is also a Sonos speaker that you can connect your phone to and play music. Make sure you have music downloaded or a Spotify account because Pandora is not available in Honduras. Just off the king bedroom area is the bathroom with double vanity and a shower with a view you won’t want to leave. A few steps from the bed are sliding doors that open to an oversized patio with 2 lounge chairs and a table. But the best part is the plunge pool so you can decide if you will be watching sunsets from the pool or a lounge chair. The stairway to the water is shared with the guests staying at the Villa, Casita 1 and/or Casita 2 (if booked) and navigates down a cliff and through the trees. There are 4 landings with benches on the way down where you can stop and take in the view or a sunset. Once you are at the water you will see our 200 foot dock with separate seating areas that is shared with the Villa, Casita 1, and/or Casita 2 guests (if booked). It’s a great place to take in a sunset or tie off one of our floats and just relax on the water. You can take one of our 4 complimentary, 2 person, kayaks to explore the reef or the mangroves. We also have 2 stand up paddle boards that are $10 a day to rent. There is a Villa with a 2 or 3 bedroom option as well as 2 more Casitas on property that can be booked if your group needs more room or a 6 bedroom option. Añoranza's goal is to be as energy efficient as possible. We ask our guests to help by using the AC only when in the room and not when any doors are open. We appreciate lights and fans off when not needed. You will notice that we are one of the few properties, on Roatan, that does not charge guests extra for electricity used. The water comes from our well and is scare on the island so conservation is always encouraged. Sheets and towels will not be changed everyday. If you stay more than 7 days, the Casita will be cleaned every 7 days along with the linens and towel. Thank you in advance for helping us conserve the Earth’s vital resources! Finally, there are a lot of steps on property so Añoranza is not ideal for anyone who cannot manage a lot of steps.
