Isla de Roatán Coming via private aircraft for 2 days...recommendations without reservations
Posted: Wed June 10, 2009 08:12 PM UTC
My dad and myself are coming in via private aircraft. We do not know what day or when.

Is it easy to clear customs / immigration in Roatan?

Is it easy to get a taxi?

We do not have hotel reservations...is that okay? Where should we have the taxi driver take us?

Any general suggestions? We are not diving and will probably be relatively tired. This is our first trip to Roatan.

Isla de Roatán Where does the ship dock & any dive suggestions?
Posted: Sun March 1, 2009 09:33 PM UTC
I'm taking a cruise that stops in Roatan. I am wondering where on the island do the ships usually dock? I'm trying to find a dive operator nearby, wanted to avoid the cruise line's shore excursion diving... anyone have suggestions for a local dive operator?

Thanks for your help!

Roatán Town volunteering in Roatan
Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 11:05 PM UTC
Hello all,

I am planning on volunteering in Honduras in about a year and a half and just doing some research into some organizations. I've found Familias Saludables in Coxen Hole and Clinica Esperanza in Sandy Bay. Has anyone heard of either of these, or even volunteered with either? If so what were your experiences? And if you've heard of them, do they have good reputations??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Isla de Roatán Dinghys and non-traditional dive sites
Posted: Wed April 2, 2008 07:58 PM UTC
Hi! Two quick questions. Your ideas and recommendations greatly appreciated.

1. Does anyone know where on Roatan we might rent a Hobie Cat or Laser (small personal sailboat) for an hour or two? We're not staying at a resort. And we have transportation to get us to wherever we need to go on the island.

2. Which dive shop offers not-the-usual-tourist dive sites? My partner is very advanced and he's looking for something different.

Thanks for your two bits! Have a great day.

Isla de Roatán food and water safety
Posted: Mon February 25, 2008 02:48 PM UTC
Hi!

Will be traveling to Roatan for the Easter weekend and staying for 7 days.

There will be 2 young children and an elderly female with the group, my question is... how is the food and water safety on the island? If we can only drink bottled water, how can we be sure the food is safe? Hate the way the question sounds, but have to make sure the kids and grandma are safe from any possible stomach bacteria.

thank you so much for any help or advise

Isla de Roatán Where to stay?
Posted: Thu March 29, 2007 05:20 PM UTC
My Husband and I, both divers, are planning on a trip to Roatan in late Nov, 2007. I've been looking at Inn of Last Resort and Reef House. I know they are both two different kinds of set ups with Reef Hse having everything there. My Husband likes the idea of a more quiet place and I prefer more access to the town. One of things that I'm wondering about is which dive shop in town would be one of the better ones to dive with if we stay at LR and do any of the West end dive shops make regular dive stops on the Leeward side of the island? I've read that the reefs there are in better condition.

Anyone care to weigh in? Any thoughts, ideas or experiences would be greatly appreciated!!

Roatán Town NEED HELP PLEASE! NEW SOUVENIRS & TOURS GIFT SHOP (NEED PHONE#)
Posted: Wed February 14, 2007 07:39 PM UTC
Hello,

Can somebody help me please? I'm desperately looking for the phone# of store named, "NEW SOUVENIRS & TOURS GIFT SHOP" (in front of H.B. Warren Market on Coxen Hole). We've looked at the yellow pages, but it wasn't listed. We desperately need to get a hold of a lady that sells the crafts there.

Anybody have any suggestion as to what to do? BTW, we contacted HB Warren Market if they could give the message to the store in question, but they refused.

Thanks a lot.

Isla de Roatán Roatan 1 week - Guatemala 2 weeks!
Posted: Wed November 29, 2006 03:41 AM UTC
My GF and I are flying into San Pedro Sula (Honduras) on New years eve for a 3 week trip in CM. We will be travelling out to Roatan first off, for a week of diving. Which is as far as we have set in concrete so far. Any words of wisdom on the following would be greatly appreciated;

1. Having not yet got accomodation on Roatan and the fact that alot of budget places do not take reservations, whats our best bet for ensuring we wont have to sleep on the beach? Or will we be fine just turning up to the west end and getting good budget accom, even at that time of year?

2. For the remaining 2 weeks we would like to see Guatamela, and therefore looking for some good routes to take in; Tikal, Rio Dulce, Livingston, Coban, Antigua, Lake De Atitlan and the rest of the highlands (not in that particular order). Any Itinerary suggestions?

Gracias

Utila Ferry to Utila
Posted: Wed June 28, 2006 11:46 PM UTC
Hi

Does anyone know if there are 2 ferry crossings a day from La Ceiba to Utila? Also, is it true that there are only connecting flights 3 times a week to Utila from San Pedro Sula? We thought there were flights every day, now we need to take a bus then ferry to Utila. Any recent travelers experience would be appreciated! Thanks.

We want to go to Roatan for a week. I have picked out 3 resorts but can't decide between them. Which of the following resorts you would choose to stay at?

Coco View Resort, Inn of Last Resort or the Reef Resort.

We are planning a trip to Roatan in August 2006. Renting a house on the beach in Sandy Beach area. How are the beaches/sand fly situation?

Also, any good restaurant ideas? Thanks, Debra

Isla de Roatán Cruise in October
Posted: Sat April 1, 2006 02:13 AM UTC
My sister and I are going on a 7 day cruise in October and one of the places that we will be going to is Isla Roatan. We are very excited about it, one of the things that we hope to do is go scuba or snorkling. We have never done that before, I am a little nervous about seeing sharks appearing, are there sharks there and am I worried for nothing. Any other tips on cruises would help me ease my fears.
Thanks

Isla de Roatán Cruise ship Shore Excursions
Posted: Sun August 7, 2005 06:19 PM UTC
I have already posted this question under the "Caribbean" forum, but thought I should narrow it down to the actual city or Island.

We are in Roatan for 1 day only. What is the best thing to do there and something we should not miss?

Thank you,
Carol.
