About this property
Rustic Island charm on the East End of Roatan where history abounds
Sweecret Retreat homes are situated in the quiet neighbourhood of Calabash Bight, Jose Santos Guardiola, Roatan.
Homes have most amenities and appliances for you to enjoy your vacation as if you were in your own home.
Our guests can easily be collected by charter boats for Eastern tours to Lime Cay, Pigeon Cays, St. Helene and Port Royal from our dock.
If you wish to swing in another direction there are tour operators who will even take you as far as West End, West Bay or Cayos Cochinos.
Don't care for boat rides? No problem. We have road access that will lead you quickly to restaurants or other adventures.
In Diamond Rock you will find several restaurants serving food that will delight most palates, such as Chelles, La Sirena, Paya Bay and Camp Bay Lodge.
For our roads we recommend a 4X4 as they are mostly hilly and unpaved.
Kayaks are available to guests free of cost
Bar hoping is a famous activity on the East End and travel is mainly by boat or small skiffs.
We provide this service at a fee.
A free boat ride to the famous Jonesville Mangroves is complimentary to all guests staying 28 days or more
No fees are charged for car parking or small boat docking.
