ABOUT ROATAN

The Caribbean's best-kept secret…

The bay Islands of Honduras offer a very different world from the mainland Honduras . The Islands history, which includes many disputes between the Spaniards and the British during colonial times, with the British actually controlling the islands most of time, have given the islands a unique heritage. There are several islands within the department, with three larger ones being the most popular with tourist: Utila, Roatan and Guanaja. English is so widely spoken in the Islands that some people don't even speak Spanish, despite the fact that this is the official language of Honduras !

Roatan's modern international airport is only a short flight from the gateway cities of Houston , Atlanta and Miami .

You'll receive a warm greeting from our friendly, bilingual (English & Spanish) population whose ancestral origins are a combination of eight separate cultures that fought and flourished here during the past 400 years.

Only 30 miles long and three miles wide, slender Roatan is the largest and most developed of the eight islands and more than 60 cays that make up the Bay Islands of Honduras .

Paved roads, well-stocked supermarkets, telephone and wireless Internet are all available but the island is still a small, tropical paradise…and one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean .
