10 Caribbean Overwater Bungalow Resorts That Are Still Under the Radar

Mango Creek, Roatán
Tucked away in a protected bay on Roatán’s south shore, Mango Creek Lodge has overwater cabanas perched above calm, clear water surrounded by mangroves. It’s not a big resort — just a handful of cabanas and a main lodge — but that’s exactly what makes it feel so personal.
What We Like
This is a rustic, intimate kind of luxury. You fall asleep to the sound of the water, wake up to the light filtering through the bay, and spend the day kayaking, snorkeling, or just floating in the sun.
The sense of place is strong — you feel embedded in the landscape, not just adjacent to it.
How to Get There
Fly into Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (RTB) on Roatán. The lodge arranges boat transfers from Oak Ridge, about 30 minutes from the airport.
