Ibagari Boutique Hotel

Five Stars – Truly One of the Best Hotel and Dive Operations! Ibagari Boutique Hotel exceeded all expectations! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay truly special—so welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it hard to get up in the mornings! The food was absolutely outstanding—every meal felt like a treat. Honestly, there’s no need to leave the property if you don’t want to. Everything you need for a relaxing, luxurious getaway is right here. Duna Divers on property is hands-down one of the best dive shops I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish, everything was seamless, safe, and incredibly enjoyable. The staff is exceptional—warm, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Travel time by boat to each dive was less than 15 minutes! Axel was phenomenal—so kind, professional, and informative about the local marine life and the beauty of the reef. Lucilla and Caleb are outstanding dive instructors who made every dive not just safe, but fun and memorable. The dives themselves were absolutely incredible. We saw an amazing variety of fish and vibrant coral—truly breathtaking. Every moment underwater was a reminder of how special this place is. Can’t recommend Duna Divers highly enough, and we absolutely hope to return soon for more adventures with this fantastic team!

The place is a little difficult to find at first but if you follow the GPS closely it will take you there. There is plenty of easy, secure parking. The art and architecture are warm, whimsical, fresh and clean. Our room, U3, is roomy, perfectly air-conditioned and features soft, cozy bedding and a colorful view. They do not appear to get a lot of channels on the very nice, new TVs so bring your access codes. The bathroom is refined, elegant and also has a great view with the door overlooking a plunge pool. The toilet area lacks acoustic privacy and has an explosive flush that is sure to wake up your partner....but it is kind of funny. The prices for mini-bar and poolside cocktails are very reasonable and all of the staff is very helpful/friendly and informative. The plunge pool is was refreshingly chilly...a hot tub would have gotten more use from us as there is almost always a cool breeze. The overall vibe is quiet and laid back and very soothing. There are many places to swim nearby, their beach features lots of welcoming shade (if you want it), beautiful, friendly drink service and a perfect water temperature. The swimming area is shallow so don't plan to dive off the floating decks. The main pool and hot tubs are very nicely maintained but the pool is directly in front of the dining areal... I am not sure anyone wants to watch me swim while they eat. If you need their help booking excursions or spa services I suggest asking in advance because they seem to book quickly...but they will also help recommend other places if needed. The food is probably the best I have had in the Caribbean. Keep in mind the portions are generous, after a day of snorkeling in the sun an appetizer is all I need.

Ibagari is a small, quiet, modern hotel which abounds with details that engage the senses, from the artwork to the local birds (an active hummingbird nest hung in the tree of the lobby, and a pair of macaws visited every afternoon), to the nightly sunsets...Oftentimes, we felt like we were the only guests, and staff were always attentive...many treating us like old friends, indulging me by allowing me to practice my Spanish...And the restaurant LunaMuna is topnotch! There was a great variety to choose from on the menu, and everything was so fresh! We ate only 4 meals (lunches) away during our 9 and 1/2 day stay. We brought our own snorkel gear, and would walk or take the water taxi to snorkel in West Bay...staff arranged our tours; bird watching with Javier at the Arboretum was the best! At night, LunaMuna provided occasional entertainment, including Garifuna musicians/dancers as well as live music. We had a most enjoyable cultural exhange and restorative visit. We miss you, Luis Escobar (concierge), Luis (pollo chuco), and Addis (concierge). And Martin's handsome smile will not be forgotten! XXO, Natalie & Jim Tip: Bring enough cash for the tours, otherwise you'll get hit with high credit card surcharges...and many tours only accept cash

Perhaps the best dive service we have ever had. The entire experience was fabulous and every guide was professional and very enjoyable. Axel runs a tight ship with major attention to a divers needs. As a bonus the hotel and staff were similarly delightful.

Ibagari was a fantastic experience and highly recommend for anyone visiting Roatan! Beautiful grounds, the architecture really embraces the natural landscape of Turtle Beach. This allows guests to immediately feel relaxed by the sounds of birds and the ocean, surrounded by lush trees and plantings. The rooms are very comfortable. We stayed in U8, which came with breathtaking views of the ocean on the balcony. The balcony was also a nice size with comfy seating. The bed was very comfortable and having the motorized curtains was clutch! Bathroom was nice as well, walk in shower with tub inside. Shower also had an ocean view. My wife and I were there February '25, visiting Roatan for my good friend's wedding and Ibagari provided an amazing setting for a dream wedding celebration. Anyone planning to have a destination wedding in Roatan, this is the place to have your big bash. The restaurant and lounge areas were great to just hang for the afternoon. Drinks are incredible, really enjoyed the watermelon margaritas! Food is out of this world as well. Conch carpaccio and ceviche were some of our favorites. Lobster benedict for brunch a must try as well. The food for the wedding was delicious, very high quality. You will thoroughly enjoy the spa treatments as well. If you want a couples massage, they will have you so relaxed you might end up falling asleep during your massage! Finally, the best thing about Ibagari above all is the staff and the world class service you will receive. Everyone there was kind, attentive and professional. Special shout out to the following staff members who took extra special care of us, and helped make our experience in Roatan all the more memorable: Roland, Luis, Mily and Addis who were the guest experience/concierge personnel who were fantastic. They were all friendly, really accommodating, patient and helpful. Eduardo who heads up the restaurant does an outstanding job and has an incredible staff. Marvin and Sara were the best servers, David making the best cocktails! Overall you will not be disappointed with your stay at Ibabari. Can't wait to return to paradise, soon!
