Note some busy periods in here like christmas and new year and as the Northern USA and Canada descend to escape the snow but it really is never too crowded on Roatan with the exception of Semana Santa- check the latin calendars online for each year the date is different.

There are a few gateway cities serving Roatan but the competition overall remains low and so prices to fly to Roatan can fluctuate. It's particularly expensive to get to from Europe unless you come on a package deal from Italy. It is popular with italian couples and families. Sunwing is now offering flights and vacations to more destinations and remains an option. If you are coming from the USA then the best cities to fly from are Miami, Houston, Atlanta and New York.

The first things to decide is when to go? Between March and the end of August Roatan has a low historic record of rain and so this gets our best choice but don't fret otherwise.
