Traveling Our Purdy World

One of our stops on our cruise aboard the #CarnivalCelebration in February 2023 was Roatan. We went to Roatan 15+ years ago and it was not a good port to go to, things have changed, and it was a very lovely port to visit!

Shopping Pros:

• Shopping directly outside the port
• Variety of shopping (mostly tourist shops)
• Live music in shopping area
• Hand rolled cigar shop in shopping area
• Wifi available for purchase (if you want)
• A lot of wildlife – saw hummingbirds, tropical birds, etc.
• Felt safe

Beach Pros:

• Very nice beach to the right of the port
• Free entrance (not all-inclusive)
• Has a restaurant (for a fee), bar (for a fee), nice restrooms for changing and cleaning off, feet washing stations throughout the area
• Free lounge chairs throughout the area (many of them are shaded)
• Option to rent padded lounge chairs closer to the beach (get there early if you want this – were filled up when we arrived)
• Nice beach
• Nature walk available to get you to the beach
• Ski-lift available to be taken to the beach (for a charge)

Cons:

• Quite a bit of a walk to the beach and shopping area
• When in the water, you have to be very careful as there are quite a few sudden drops (may go from touching the ground to not VERY quickly)
• Beach can become very busy very quickly – try to get there early
• Towels are not included – so be sure to bring yours from the cruise ship

RATING:

4.5/5 STARS ~ only negative was the long walk

Happy Traveling!!
