Title: money on roatan
Post by: calvin on September 20, 2007, 01:32:52 AM
1 USD is today about 18.80 lempiras.
  • My wife and I will be landing on Roatan on the 20th and are going to
    need some lemps. We were there a year ago but I can't recall a few
    things. When we exchanged travelers cheques in Coxen Hole I believe it
    was a limit of 1 cheque(up to $500) per day. Am I right on the 1 cheque
    per day and the amount? Any info would be great!

Answer

I just wanted to say that you can withdraw from the cash point or use dollars directly (which end up costing a little more for things i.e. things getting rounded off etc) also save some for the exit from Honduras at customs 25 usd plus something like 5 united states dollars in local ??

THE TIP I actually wanted to pass on was that the cash points have been known to short change ! I had a friend short changed and eventually we worked out to go to the main bank in coxen hole to rectify, she showed us the pile of complaints about this !!! so count your money.
