Añoranza's oceanfront Casita was finished May 2021 and offers a king bed, full kitchen, living room, and 2 person shower, along with an oversized patio and plunge pool. The casita can also be booked with our Villa and/or our Casita 2 and 3 if you need more room.
If youâre looking for a true Caribbean island experience, Añoranza is the place for you. If you are looking for a place like Cabo or Tulum, weâre not the destination for you. Leave your designer bags, shoes, jewelry, and clothes at home. All you need to pack are swimsuits, cover-ups, rash guards and flip flops.
Also, if you are looking for nightlife, we recommend booking in West End or one of the destinations mentioned above. Donât get us wrong, we love Cabo and Tulum but we donât come to the east side of RoatĂĄn for that experience. There are no restaurants within walking distance but you can kayak to a few restaurants or drive 5 minutes to the villages of Oakridge or Punta Gorda to get authentic Caribbean island food. If you donât want to leave Añoranza we offer full size kitchens for you to cook or hire our private chef to cook.
The oceanfront Casita is located next to our Villa and offers guests an open concept king size bed, living room, and full kitchen area. The kitchen has a gas range, dishwasher, fridge, coffee maker, blender and all cooking appliances and utensils you should need. If you decide you do not want to cook, we can set up our personal chef, Dalia, for one special meal or your entire stay. It also has a UV filter for the entire Casita and a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink so you can drink the water and brush your teeth with it. The living room has a custom built couch that is also a daybed so you can curl up and watch TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ or a movie on our smart TV. Unfortunately, Hulu is not available in Honduras but you can get Hulu through the Disney+ App. There is also a Sonos speaker that you can connect your phone to and play music. Make sure you have music downloaded or a Spotify account because Pandora is not available in Honduras.
Just off the king bedroom area is the bathroom with double vanity and a shower with two shower heads. You'll love the view from the shower. There is also a washer and dryer in the closet for guests to use but, we do not provide laundry detergent. Most of our guests just bring a few pods or buy some at the grocery store, Eldon's, on the way to Añoranza. A few steps from the bed are sliding doors that open to an oversized patio with 2 chairs, a table, and a hammock. But the best part is the plunge pool so you can decide if you will be watching sunsets from the pool, the hammock or a chair.
The stairway to the water is shared with the guests staying at the Villa and/or Casita 2 and Casita 3 (if booked) and navigates down a cliff and through the trees. There are 4 landings with benches on the way down where you can stop and take in the view or a sunset. Once you are at the water you will see how clear the water is and can enjoy the sun and sunsets on our dock. There is also great snorkeling from the dock around the small reef at the end of the dock. Also, you can take one of our 4 complimentary, 2 person, kayaks to explore the reef, mangroves or head over to Punta Gorda to grab a drink or food. We have 2 stand up paddle boards that can be rented for $10 a day each.
Matt and Dalia, your host and concierge before and during your stay can help book anything from excursions, dinners reservations, car rentals, or even a babysitter. Dalia is also our private chef so you can book her for your entire stay or a special meal. Matt or Dalia can meet you at the airport too if you would like for an additional fee. Dalia lives on property
Finally, there are a lot of steps on property so Añoranza is not ideal for anyone who cannot manage a lot of steps
