Two Story 3/Bd 2Bath, w Pool and steps to the best snorkeling on the island

The property is unique to Roatan. Just off the main road to a private beach area. This area is part of the Roatan Marine Park preserve. The reef system parallels the white sand beach of Sandy Bay. A safe and calm area to swim and explore the underwater ecological paradise teaming with tropical fish and corals. This is a quiet tranquil area without high end hotels and condos but close to the tourist meccas.
The island style cabanas are nestled in a beautifully landscaped jungle canopy setting to keep the homes cool and breezy. The property has on site security. The beach front includes a private 300 ft. long pier accessible only by the small Sundancer community. The pier has an upper deck for sunning, and shaded palapa over the water.
Just off Sundancer's Pier to the right is a natural deep water channel that allows larger sea life to come and go on the reef. Often seen are large squads of squid, eagle rays, turtles, huge grouper and large parrot fish. This natural opening in the reef also makes it easy for boats to pick you up for fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and touring.

Sundancer Cabanas are conveniently located in upper Sandy Bay, with grocery stores just 5minutes away. West End is about a 6 minute taxi ride headed West. The airport is a 10 – 15 minute ride away. The long Sandy Bay Beach stretch offers a variety of Roatan Island activities. The Salty Mango restaurant is right next door, to the east, and Lawson’s Rock is next door to the west, with a morning café, and restaurant. Anthony’s Key Resort is 1 mile to the west, with dolphin encounters, restaurant, plus a medical facility, offering COVID testing. You can rent a car or scooter to explore the island as well.
This home overlooks the pool, has full size washer dryer, fast internet, 3 bedrooms plus a pull out futon couch for extra guests and 4 split AC units. It has a fully stocked kitchen, and everything to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. It is only steps to the water, and the two story dock is great for watching sunsets. This area has some of the best snorkeling on the island. you will see dive boats that take tourists out to the reef, but you can swim to the reef. This unit and my other one 3B Reef House have it all. We look forward to hosting you!

Relax in Paradise
We just booked our 4th stay at this same location with the same property owner. He goes the extra mile to make sure your stay is great. Sundancer in Sandy Bay is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The area is quiet with easy access to the water for snorkeling, swimming, fishing, kayaking and just appreciating the beauty. The private dock for Sundancer residents & renters is the biggest draw for us along with the close proximity, only a cab ride away, to West End or Coxen Hole for groceries. Looking forward to next year!

Perfect Home for Our Family Vacation
What a wonderful home to base out of for our family's Roatan vacation! There was plenty of room for the 4 of us to spread out and have our own space - but also a nice setup to share meals and enjoy time together. Just steps to the community pool, and less than a 5 minute walk to the AMAZING pier with world-class snorkeling just a few hundred yards out. The grounds are meticulously kept and beautiful. With the few small things that came up (very minor!) the onsite property manager was SUPER responsive and our questions were always answered immediately and exactly to our liking. You'll want to have your own rental car or be ready to have a trusted cab you can keep "on call" if you are hoping to see much of the island. We LOVED this space and will definitely hope to stay here again when we return to the island!

Great location, very peaceful and surrounded by trees and well kept garden. Rooms are confortable, and we were provided with plenty of drinking water. Washing and dryer were very useful. Full kitchen, it might need some upgrading of some utensils..Very quick of the managerfor

Exactly What We Needed!
This treehouse overlooking the pool is exactly what our family needed for a vacation. We were originally staying at a friend’s property that had a a water main break, so we needed to move to something quickly while we were on vacation. Carson responded quickly with directions and accommodations. Vanessa the property manager stopped by to make sure everything was working, and responded immediately to some minor requests (our upstairs AC was showing an error and we had no trash bags, she had both fixed right away!) The property is so close to the pool which the family loved, and the neighborhood was quiet and close to some great scuba/snorkeling. The kitchen is well stocked and the rooms were large with crispy clean linens. What could have been a difficult vacation turned into a great surprise!

Sandy Bay Stay
Overall, we had a great stay. The property manager was very responsive to our needs and met us for check-in. 5 gallon bottled water was provided for the week. A/C units were great. The cooking pots/pans probably need an upgrade, but we worked it out. A cutting board was provided during our stay as we couldn’t find one. We were disappointed that the property owner had not communicated that the pool would be closed, but it had opened back up by the end of the week. The area was safe and quiet in the community. We rented a car, which worked out perfectly. The house does transmit sound very well and all doors have slats on upper half of doors. We would stay here again 😊

A Wonderful Experience Overall
The house and location were outstanding. My wife, family and I had a “ trip of a lifetime”. The house was extremely well equipped for just about every need. The air conditioning located in each bedroom and the living room/ kitchen area was much appreciated! The dock located in front of the house made snorkeling, fishing and swimming a wonderful experience. Also having a local restaurant, dive shop and cafe within walking distance came in very handy. My wife and grandson loved the pool!

Relaxing
A great relaxing vacation. We enjoyed our time here again. The cabana meets our needs and had everything we needed. Manager is very timely with communication and any concerns we may have had. The property is well maintained and in a quiet area of the island. It is just a cab ride away for shopping and restaurants in West End. We enjoyed the pool that is very close to cabana and it's just a short walk to the beach and dock for amazing snorkeling!

The house was nice. The property was beautiful and very well maintained. The walk to the beach was like taking a Strole thru paradise every time. The house could use a few updates such as a new mattrass and cushions on the outside chairs. Overall we had a great time and as concerns came up, they were addressed quickly. It is a little remote from stores, so come prepared. I would recommend this house to anyone.

El Papagayo
Second time staying in Sundancer, Roatan. Perfect location, quiet “community feel”, great community dock for snorkeling, swimming, and sunsets. $2 cab gets you to West end or any of the restaurants on the way. Nice bonus that restaurant Coconuts opened and was just a couple minute walk. 1st time renting from Conrad and El Papagayo. Great communication with host & his local manager Luke was always available quickly. Luke kept us supplied with bottled water, another bonus, not all hosts do. House was well equipped, very comfortable for our group of 3 couples. It has a huge wrap around porch where we spent most of our time watching the hummingbirds feed 2 feet away. Nice pool right in front of unit, nothing fancy but nice size, and a shower to wash sand off before going in kept house and porch clean. The only “negative” I had, was host did not provide a key or want the 2d set of French double doors opened. Not sure why, it would provide a lot of light and breeze through the kitchen. Would definitely stay here again!

Isolated Robinson Crusoe tree house on a dangerous raod
On a beautiful island fillled with lovely kind islanders sits Sun Dancer, an enclave of tree-house like dark multi-story cabins. With no services, no housekeeping, and furniture that looks like frat-house rattan, all would be lost but for friendly locals, European visitors, a nice pool and lovely dock. Food and tourist activities are accessible only by taxi hailed on a busy road at great personal risk. And possible financial ruin. The action in Roatan is iin West Bay and West end with restaurants, bars, and music. Sun Dancer is $30 cab ride to West End and a 45 minute ride to West bay.. The Roatan islanders are lively, fun, and funny. Many speak English. There is great native food to be had. The Dive shop next doo to Sun Dancer at Salty Mango provides exceptional safe dive tours and snorkeling. Roatan us worth a visit but Sun Dancer is not the place to stay.
