Hotel Chillies and Native Sons Diving

Hotel Chillies is a great place to stay and couldn’t be better located. Across from the beach and fun outdoor bar, the hotel has a variety of rooms, cafe and scuba school onsite. The family-run business is warm and accommodating. As a female traveling alone, I felt safe and comfortable. I took the open water certification class with Native Sons and saw amazing ocean life along the reef, just a short boat ride from Chillies. Very memorable vacation!

If your looking for a major resort, to be treated like a guest, served breakfast in bed, and be treated like a tourist this is not for you! BUT, If your looking for a place to be home away from home, If your looking to feel like part of the family, If your looking to be welcomed with open arms… If your looking to have a great piece of paradise, privacy and meet amazing people, then this is 100% the place for you. I have never been so excited to leave a review. This hotel, is nestled in an amazing jungle garden. The cabins are so cute, and have an amazing home like feel to them. Even with no a/c they are so cool, I had to use a blanket. The staff are so friendly and ready and willing to help any time, even with spider removal ;) This hotel is very fair in price, and Michele is amazing. Always quick to respond with any requests, no matter the time. The grounds are very well kept, clean, and the shared kitchen is well kept as well. The fridge is cleaned regularly, and everything you could need is ready and available. If they do not have it, they know where you can find it.

When I booked, the hotel was full except for an entire bungalow which was still very reasonably priced. It worked out well for me, since I had a little kitchenette that I used to boil water for instant coffee/ tea as well as to heat up leftovers. The bed was comfortable and the water for showers hot (a key requirement for me). I traveled in February so the ceiling fan was sufficient to keep me cool during the night. Michele was very helpful answering all of my questions before and during my stay. The proximity within West End is excellent and having the dive shop and a good restaurant onsite was a definite bonus. The bungalow was set back in the garden so the view from the front porch was lovely - many trees, flowering plants, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Just returned from my 12th visit to Chillies / Native Sons and can hardly wait for my next visit. Everything a diver needs is right there - accommodations ranging from hostel-style rooms through private cabins to more upscale suites, a cafe on site for breakfast and lunch, the Mesoamerican reef right outside the door, the Caribbean charm of West End village, a terrific dive shop with competent and friendly instructors/divemasters, and owners and staff who are welcoming and helpful. A trip to Chillies / Native Sons is always a pleasure.

We had a wery pleasant stay at the Chillies Hotel and great dive experience with Native Sons dive shop, owners, staff, dive masters all do their best to make your vacation enjoyable and hassle free. Place is minimalistic but has all you need and clean, only downside is the Wi-Fi, not always available. Definitely recommend it for your stay in Roatan.

Chili's hotel is a charming back- packers paradise located in a tropical garden at West End. The 1 and 2 bedroom cabins were built by the owners of native wood. There is access to a community kitchen for the cabins and hostel-type sleeping rooms. I've never experienced any theft, whether in my room or the kitchen. It's a perfect location for divers as well, with a dive shop on site. (See review Native Sons). My friends and family members stay there whenever we are in Roatan. The hotel staff is honest, efficient, and helpful; they have always met my needs. Miche, the owner, and Amanda, office manager are readily available with information, connections for taxis and recommendations for tours, restaurants, etc. Groceries, dive shops, fun bars, and good restaurants all within walking distance. It's very affordable. Yahongreh is a small, open air breakfast spot on site with delicious food. Open from 7-2 serving Honduran and American style breakfasts. In closing, the Jacksons are lovely hosts! Hotel Chili's is a peefect choice for West End.

If you are looking for a place to stay and dive look no further. Hotel Chilies staff will take great care of you, the rooms and simple and clean. The dive shop is out front and a small restaurant Yahongreh is on property serving breakfast and lunch. This is a family run place where you will get to know everyone. Located adjacent to the beach within a 5-10 minute there are multiple restaurants, stores, bars anything you could possibly need while visiting West End. The water taxi is close by as well. Anything you will need the staff would be more than happy to help you with. Do not hesitate to book a stay here.

I was excited to stay here after reading the reviews but was disappointed in my stay . The grounds are beautiful very lush, green , perfect oasis in the cabins . Grounds kept clean. Wonderful place to get breakfast lunch on site . That’s pretty much all the positive as the cons outweigh everything. The cabins are super cute , but there needs to be daily checks of the rooms for bugs. I understand island living, tropical climates but I experienced fire ants in my bed which was super unsettling. Could barely sleep , as they were on both bugs. I know better to keep food or drinks in the room as to not attract more pests . I knew the rooms weren’t cleaned but my trash was emptied once during my five day stay. I found myself emptying my own trash . The receptionist is literally horrible . She has such a bad attitude . The fact that people were saying this years ago and she is still working front of the house is insane to me . Had an attitude and rolled her eyes ever time I saw her . Had to ask her for a receipt after I paid , why should I have to. I don’t want to hear an excuse that’s she’s young or inexperienced as I’ve read on other reviews . She’s so into her phone she barely raises her eyes to make eye contact to answer questions. and I saw her lounging in a room while housekeeping was cleaning and she’s laying on a fresh bed in her outside clothes ! Insanity . I had to go straight to Michele to get things figured out . As far as showers, the hot water might last 2 minutes if you’re lucky . I honestly couldn’t wait to leave and checkout . Id avoid C4 bungalow if you can until it’s been sprayed down. Also attached are videos of bed bugs which the owner thought the room didn’t have but they did. Much better places to stay and still affordable .

My partner and I stayed at Hotel Chillies for a week in April 2023, and had a wonderful time. The staff are very kind and helpful, going above and beyond to help us stay comfortable. It was great to have Yahongreh nearby for great food all day, and Native Sons was a great dive shop. The property is right across the street from the beach, near bars, restaurants, and grocery stores. I would absolutely stay there again!
