Q from Teagan "This will be our first time visiting Roatan and I am interested in knowing if there are any thoughts on what to expect and how it compares with Caye Caulker in Belize. Thanks." Read more for the answer..
Answer :
"Thanks for visiting the forum and asking a question. I am very happy to say you will have a great time in Roatan. You can expect good value for money but still be able to get quality accommodation (have you sorted that out yet ?) from top resorts to small cabanas and hotels. You can expect the best beaches and water anywhere in the Caribbean. Also fantastic food and good wine. Where are you locating yourself. The west end is more developed but resorts are springing up further away and the east end is developing. You will find the people very friendly.

Ask us if you would like recommendations on restaurants and places to stay.
If you are scubadiving then you will enjoy great visibility , variety of diving walls wrecks, coral finger formations, caves, channels drift diving and more. All with the added advantage of short boat rides. Its some of the cheapest diving in the world as well and you can negotiate a good price for bulk diving. As us if you have any specific requests.
It may be cheaper to buy some imported stuff before you arrive like OFF spray or jungle juice as its a bit more eco friendly. Can't think of anything else right now."
