Getting to Roatan

Each of the following airlines book flights to Roatan:  Lacsa, Taca, Nica, Copa, KLM, Lufthansa, Alitalia, Air France, British Airways, Iberia, Continental, American (in connection from San Pedro Sula with Islena Airlines).  TACA makes direct flights from Houston and Miami, which is by far the most convenient way to come, so booking your flights through one of these two cities will make your trip that much faster.

When you make a reservation with Las Rocas Resort, you will be met at the airport and escorted personally to your cabana on West Bay Beach, where you may unpack your bags and relax with your welcome drink.

What should I bring?

Casual and comfortable clothing is entirely appropriate for Roatan. If you want to bring something to wear out in the evenings, make sure its cool and not too formal. The climate is warm year round, so the most you'll need is a light rain jacket, if even that.

What's the currency?

The national currency is Lempiras, which you may obtain once you enter the country. US dollars are also honored most places on the island, or are easy to exchange for Lempiras. Credit cards and traveler's checks in U.S. dollars are also widely accepted on the island. Cash advances in Lempiras are also available on your credit cards at banks on the island.

Do I need any shots before I come?

No special vaccinations will be needed before your visit to Roatan. The island does not have any problems with diseases or with the water, so you don't need to worry about special drugs before you come either. You may purchase mosquito repellent and sunscreen here, which are the most important 'medicines' you'll need.
