Local knowledge for Roatan
Where to stay
West End is where almost every budget traveler lands, a walkable strip of dive shops, open-air bars, and hostels clustered along the main road above Half Moon Bay. Sandy Bay, a few kilometers east toward Coxen Hole, is quieter and sometimes cheaper, though you will need colectivo taxis to get anywhere from there.
Getting around
- Water taxis between West End and West Bay Beach run frequently and cost a couple of dollars each way. Pay for the boat, not a beach club day pass.
- Colectivo taxis run the length of the main highway connecting Coxen Hole, Sandy Bay, and West End for very little money. Flag one down instead of negotiating with a private driver for any trip along that corridor.
- Dive shops in West End post package prices on boards outside their doors. Get quotes from at least three before committing to a multi-day course, and know that prices shift more in low season than most people expect.
When to go
Rates drop noticeably in September and October when cruise traffic slows and the island quiets down. December through April, and especially the weeks around Christmas and Semana Santa, are when hostels fill fastest and prices climb.
