Guava Grove Resort & Villas

Nothing to dislike at all. Chill vibe, lovely pool, welcoming hosts, good food and drinks. Just what's needed for a relaxing break.

My husband & I spent 2 weeks here and just returned home on April 7, 2025. My husband and I are well travelled ( 60 year olds ,who have visited all corners of the Caribbean. Absolutely everything about this jungle oasis in Sandy Bay was incredible! The grounds which the owners gave us a 30 min tour of is absolutely breathtaking. Every colour of tropical flower , lush , tall greenery , surrounded the buildings, line the walkway & pool. They described each tree, including guava, limes, coconuts, bananas, chata, & even a cashew tree! They explained the planting & cultivation of each and how they use them in their homemade recipes for their Grill which is onsite . It is available for resort guests and the public. FOOD: NOTE: The grill & bar is closed on Tuesdays.( including for resort guests) But that gave us a chance to try other restaurants in the area . Their food was phenomenal! We did not have everything on their menu but everything we did have was some of the best on the island! I Some reviews I read ( said its a bit” pricey?”, We find the saying “ you pay for what you get “ applies here. If you want cheap, theres lots of “ cheap” , greasy options in West end. But if you want an authentic , fair, island ,fresh , culinary experience? GUAVA GROVE GRILL & RESORT is for you! My favs were ALL their ceviches ( Which Ive had all over the Caribbean, theirs was the best Ive ever had) Their conch fritters( “conk”not “conch”) :) ( shout out to Ferdinand) Their “ fresh catch of the day” ( I had Snapper ) was in a savoury,coconut cream sauce made from their own coconuts, with roasted local veggies & a fresh salad. My husband LOVED their hamburgers( freshly seasoned patties from scratch) & their wings & hand cut fries. The deserts!!!!!! their coconut cream pie??….It should be illegal! !! Made from their own fresh coconuts & coconut cream .

The owner Cheryl expressed how she “doesn’t mind an occasional negative review as it “ validates the good ones”& as fellow business owners I, my husband and I can appreciate that! My husband and I also take negative reviews very seriously and use it as a learning opportunity to make improvements whenever possible. We also know that you cant please everyone all the time. In saying that, one lesson I learned with our stay (3 visits to Roatan , 2 cruise days , but our first stay -over this year) is to contact your resort directly before booking ( if possible) I did the opposite. I booked through booking dot com and then saw some in congruencies with room descriptions ( NO FAULT OF GUAVA GROVE) . We invited friends to join us who booked at GG without consulting with us , so we felt obligated to also book there) there was only one Queen bed option at the time . Booking dot com called it a “ Junior Suite with garden view” . As a seasoned traveller , I looked at GG website & there was no “ Junior Suite with garden view“ option even listed ! But the details of the “ closest” option was “ Deluxe Queen with garden & sea View”. Because we were traveling as a group, I booked .( I will add that in small print “ Booking dot com did have the room sq footage listed and I missed it) When we arrived , our friends actually had a huge magnificent Queen suite with walk-in closet, large bathroom & glass front opening up to an unbeatable ocean view , also a small fridge.) They also had a massive deck with huge comfy deck furniture) Our room was much smaller , no closet , a small bathroom & a small standing rack to hang a few items ,a nightstand & narrow high table with room for a few items. It was on the back side of the building with a small deck overlooking the beautiful gardens. It had a small table with 4 chairs . I did take a peek at the adjacent room beside us , it was about the same size but with bunk beds & s double bed.

A beautiful natural place, a perfect shower and a soft and clean bed. What do you need more! It's run by a very honest and sweet couple who go out of their way to give you a good time. The pool is the best for an inpool sundowner (good cocktails!) and provide a nice place to interact with other guest. We really enojoyed our stay.

Pool, garden, peace

Everything ok

Absolutely beautiful property and great location. My wife and I loved our stay at Guava Grove, the owners and staff are great people and very accommodating. Our room was a great size and everything you’d need for a comfortable stay, as well as great views! The restaurant and bar onsite has excellent drinks and food, some of the best we had on our trip. The property is a short walk to the beach in Sandy Bay, or a quick taxi ride into West End. Thank you Cheryl and Murray!

Beautiful location 😍. Cheryl and Murray make you feel like family. They turned their property into a tropical paradise. Great breakfast and lunch and dinner too , if you want it. Easy to get to many other attractions from this location, as it is right close to the road ,and taxis and buses are abundant.

There wasn’t much that we didn’t like 😍

Beautiful place! Very well care for!

Its minutes walk to the Sandy Bay dive shop along the beach, where I did all my dives with during this diving trip. The room I got was awesome, with comfortable bed, high ceiling, nice breeze when all windows open ( I didn’t turn on the AC at all), and a balcony with jungle and sea view. The owner Cheryl is so nice and helpful. Very responsive to my inquiries, good local advices and makes great piña colada too! Overall all staff there are so friendly and helpful. The kitchen makes this really yum whole red snapper. It’s indie for. The pool is quite a size for a hotel like this. I’d say it’s a family friendly hotel but I felt very comfortable there as a solo traveller too.
