Our Location
Roatan
Roatan, is the largest of the Bay Islands in the Golf of Honduras. It is also the most developed from all three. Getting to Roatan is very easy. The ferry "Galaxy Wave" offers two round trips per day between La Ceiba city and Roatan. As a general rule the sea conditions are better in the mornings compared to the afternoons making the earlier trip more comfortable.
The trip takes approximately an hour and a half and there are several amenities on board of the vessel. Air conditioned passenger rooms, video system playing movies during the trip, cafeteria, etc. The ferry docks in Roatan at a new and modern passenger terminal located in Dixon Cove, a bay between French Harbour and Coxen Hole. Once at Roatan’s terminal you will find sufficient taxi services making it easy to reach your final destination on the island.
Another alternative to reach the island is via air. Following airlines are dedicated to domestic flight services: Islena/Regional and Aerolinea Sosa. International flights arrive also to Roatan’s International Airport with the following airlines: Delta, TACA, and Continental. The airport is located between the East side of Coxen Hole and the cruise ship dock on the West side. On Roatan you will find also solutions for your banking needs: HSBC, BAC-Bamer, Lafise and Atlantida have several offices throughout the island but mainly in Coxen Hole. These offices offer also ATM services as well as some machines located around West End and West Bay.
For buying souvenirs, shops in West End are recommended as well as in Coxen Hole.
