Would definitely recommend a stay at Xbalanque! Shoutout to Mike at Lotus Restaurant. He was such a joy and even agreed to serve us dinner when we showed up 10 minutes before the restaurant closed. The food was also delicious. We ate there at least 10 times during our 5 day stay and in particular I need to RAVE about the BALEADAS at breakfast! Soooo so good. The seafood risotto at dinner was also delightful and both desserts on the menu (key lime pie and tres leches cake) were a must-try! I did have reasons for docking the hotel by 1 star. First of all, we were the only guests at the entire resort for the first 2 days, which was awesome! Private pool, private beach, private restaurant! However, our room was not in the main building (the one shown in all the photos) and we had to walk up a very steep hill in an overgrown path to get to a series of buildings on the street behind. I think they could have advertised that the room was not in the main building at time of purchase, and definitely could have upgraded our room to a room in the main building since no one else was there lol! So from that aspect, customer service wasn't so great. Also, the receptionist left at ~2pm every day, so she said we could call a golf cart if we wanted to get back to the restaurant in the main building at night, but she wasn't there to call it or help us plan activities! However, it was so peaceful and I would stay there again. It came recommended to us by Roatan Divers, and they even picked us up from Xbalanque's dock numerous times, so if you're a diver I would recommend this as well.
