If you've ever driven on Roatan's road system... if that is even the best name for it... you'll come to realize that it's about dodging, stopping suddenly, driving in the oncoming traffic lane, and unavoidably hitting a LOT OF POTHOLES.... today... I tell you why!
I got to tell you.... living on Roatan is far from boring.... mundane or anything you may believe stuck on a big rock in the middle of the ocean is cracked up to be. Between the thousands of ever-changing tourists -- to the amazing, quirky misfit residents who call Roatan home, there is always something to look at, admire, laugh to, buy, repair, build and stare at here! Here's a few of my memories from this past year... enjoy!
If you like soft velvet sand between your toes... if you like clear shallow, calm and warm water.... if you like fun activities at your fingertips... then you'll LOVE West Bay Beach! There's ONLY one on Roatan.. beach that is... that is anything short of spectacular... and this is it! Usually dead calm.. sometimes this time of year brings in some waves.. which all adds to the fun!!
If you're building a home on Roatan, or maybe just fixing up something you bought here, there are a lot of inexpensive touches you can do to "personalize" your place. Today, I'm going to show you a few ideas that may help you make some choices... and the tradespeople in Honduras ROCK!!!! They can do almost anything... and at $30/day, you won't find a better deal anywhere!!
Coming to Roatan? Get used to the humidity.. and what it does to rooms.. HOTEL rooms!! Anywhere in the tropics, not just Roatan, you have to be aware that stale, humid air causes funky smells.... and our island is no exception. But have no fear... relief is here!!!
Hotels are filling up now for Christmas.. so if you want to be on the beach.. you'd better book sooner than later... and West Bay IS THE PLACE to be if you like beaches!
From the moment you land on this beautiful island you'll see the vast sea of smiling faces -both locals and imports- and one can't help but wonder what is going on inside their minds. Is it just the Caribbean island lifestyle that is so amazing? Roatan's amazing sunshine and warm water? I tend to think it's two-fold... 1) the tourists are smiling because of the GREAT value they're recieving for their money spent... and 2) the locals are smiling because they are making money supplying services for the tourists that come to the island. --either way, I know you'll feel it too...
