    • Favorite Thing: When you first step foot onto the island you think...WOW.... and that feeling stays with you for a very long time.
    There is much history on the island that many are not awaire of and most of it is right out in the open. You just need to open your eyes and look for it.

    Down in Coxen Hole (the main city of Roatan) you will find a few bits of the history of some of Roatans past people and founders. look in court yards of the shipping area and around the banks.

    Fondest Memory: Get the book "JUDAS BIRD" by David Evans. This is such a great book about life in and around ROatan. The story is made up but it is still very close to real.

    • Favorite Thing: The one thing I would like to recommend to you is this, if you are planning a trip to Roatan in Honduras you book it well in advance so that you get the type of room that you want and the times that you want.

    The rooms and hotels do fill up very quickly durring the holidays as many are trying to ezcape the snow and Roatan is lovley all year round.

    Fondest Memory: The people around the island are awesome.

    General Tips: The climate

    • Favorite Thing: The climate is warm, usually in the '80s. The dress for the entire island is very casual.
    Comfortable cool clothing, shorts, and lightweight pants are recommended.
    Even in the evening at better restaurants, the dress remains casual.

    There are mosquitoes and sand flies, but, if you use repellant, you should not be bothered.

    Hurricanes are few and far between, and Honduras is generally not in the path of large storms.

    Fondest Memory: Roatan enjoys tradewinds the majority of the year, which make the climate even more comfortable.
