BEAUTIFUL,
TRANQUIL,
&
FRIENDLY.
EXACTLY
WHAT
OUR
FAMILY
NEEDED!!!
Pros:
This
hotel
was
away
from
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
the
West
side.
After
visiting
West
Bay
and
West
End,
we
appreciated
the
distant
even
more.
Very
quiet.
Overall
the
compound
was
beautiful.
The
two
infinity
pools
overlooking
the
ocean
were
extremely
picturesque.
The
main
areas
were
very
well
manicured.
The
property
is
secure.
Pristine
Bay
is
gated
and
the
gates
are
manned
at
all
time
with
security
verifying
entering
and
exiting
traffic.
[Side
note:
We
felt
extremely
safe
all
around
the
island.
We
were
surrounded
by
very
friendly
tourists
and
locals.]
Great
service.
We
were
welcomed
with
a
couple
glasses
of
iced
tropical
fruit
punch
and
escorted
by
Elaine
around
the
property
and
to
our
room,
which
was
a
great
touch
rather
than
being
shown
the
location
of
our
room
on
a
map
and
left
alone
to
find
the
room.
Elaine
and
the
other
front
desk
professionals
were
very
friendly,
inviting,
and
attentive.
The
food
service
professionals
were
exceptional.
Lisa
was
incredible
with
every
encounter
and
remembered
our
names
and
previous
order
after
day
1.
Daniel,
Pedro,
Linda,
Angelo,
and
others
also
made
our
stay
enjoyable.
The
food
was
very
good.
The
steak
and
eggs
are
a
must
try.
I
would
recommend
prepaying
for
breakfast
for
your
stay.
It’s
worth
it
and
we
weren’t
aware
of
any
other
options
that
wouldn’t
require
leaving
Pristine
Bay,
which
requires
a
vehicle.
Our
room
(838)
was
a
hotel
room
versus
a
full
villa.
It
was
on
the
2nd
floor
next
to
the
main
office.
We
had
an
incredible
view
with
a
very
nice
and
furnished
balcony.
The
room
was
well
furnished
overall,
very
spacious,
and
was
consistent
with
website
photos.
I
had
to
work
for
3
days
while
onsite,
and
the
wifi
was
very
reliable
with
only
a
couple
hiccups
that
were
resolved
quickly.
Cons:
There
were
areas
of
Las
Verandas
in
need
of
some
TLC.
The
pool
tiles
need
to
be
replaced
and
there
appeared
to
be
black
mold
in
some
areas.
The
property
contained
vacant
unfinished
villas
throughout.
That
does
the
property
a
disservice.
Those
villas
looked
rundown
in
what
otherwise
is
a
clean,
well-constructed,
and
well-maintained
property.
Even
if
there
are
no
plans
to
finish
them
now,
I
would
pressure
wash
the
structures
and
clear
the
debris.
The
kitchen
did
not
offer
espresso
drinks,
which
required
us
to
drive
off
of
Pristine
Bay.
Also
there
was
no
spa/massage
services
offered
on
site,
which
seems
odd
for
a
“4
star
hotel.”
The
front
desk
was
able
to
relay
my
wife
to
a
nearby
resort
offsite
that
offered
such
services,
and
my
wife
was
extremely
pleased.
The
in-room
refrigerator
did
not
cool.
We
were
told
they
function
as
coolers
rather
than
refrigerators.
Las
Verandas
should
provide
refrigerators.
If
you’re
looking
for
the
beaches
of
West
Bay,
you
will
be
disappointed.
The
beach
lacks
light
and
fluffy
sand
and
the
water
as
filled
with
seaweed.
It
wasn’t
a
big
deal
for
me,
because
I
prefer
the
infinity
pools
with
view
of
the
sea
rather
than
being
on
the
beach.
My
wife
prefers
the
opposite.
I
read
the
reviews
about
the
sandfleas/sandflies,
but
thought
that
after
a
few
days
I
lucked
out.
I
WAS
WRONG.
The
staff
sprays
for
them
every
morning,
so
I
don’t
think
there’s
much
more
that
can
be
done.
If
you’re
going
to
be
at
the
beach
at
all
or
in
the
pool
in
the
evening,
spray
repellent
everywhere
you
care
not
to
be
bitten.
They
ate
me
alive.
We
were
not
bothered
during
the
day
or
in
our
room
and
on
our
balcony
at
any
time.
We
loved
the
peace
and
tranquility
of
the
Las
Verandas.
If
you’re
looking
for
a
party
vibe
(we
weren’t),
you’ll
be
disappointed.
We
definitely
recommend
a
rental
to
get
around
the
island
to
and
from
Las
Verandas
as
well.
We
spent
a
few
days
at
better
beaches
and
retreated
back
to
Las
Verandas.
Overall:
Great
stay
and
a
little
TLC
needed,
but
if
we
decide
to
return
to
Roatan,
Las
Verandas
will
be
hard
to
beat.
We
loved
it.
