Tipping is huge here. Many tour guides and grocery assistants only work for tips and for others, hourly wages are low. Locals depend on tips. Locals are generous and helpful. Show them lots of love....

Roads are mostly paved but some areas still only have dirt roads. Potholes are common. Flooding is occasional. Taxis and buses stop in the road since there are no street pull off areas or shoulders. Watch for stopped vehicles. Taxis and locals pass slow vehicles often and use a friendly beep beep. Locals ride scooters and motorcycles and they also pass often. It’s hard to get lost as there is just one road from end to end of the island. Coxen Hole has a few side streets that all loop back to the main road.

*Outlets are the same as USA and Canada so special adapters aren’t needed. *It rains here so pack an umbrella. * For a lot of walking, you’ll want to have more than flip flops or sandals. Our street is steep, has a dirt section and the shortcut has some jungle.

It’s a good way to get to West End plus it’s a great view of the island from the water. $3 per person $1 tip. Daytime is best 9am - 5pm. Get on water taxi to come back by 5pm to avoid darkness. Many boats don’t have lights.

The coral reef here (Mesoamerican) is the second largest in the world to the Great Barrier Reef. Roatan is in a marine preservation protected area. The reef is a living organism and not dead rock as some think. Please avoid littering, do not touch anything in the water or take anything out of the sea. As we say, take photos and leave bubbles.

With a full size frig, bbq, microwave and stovetop you save money by cooking at home. For beach access resorts that line the beach will want you to buy something. Save your money for cocktails or appetizers to maximize your beach experience. We can escort you to the local grocery store, Eldons.
