@@giomusah2155 We have not spent much time in Tulum. I have seen where Tulum is having some issues with the seaweed. We had an incredible time in Roatan so I would have to go with Roatan! Cheers!
Enjoy your stay at this hidden paradise Island, that I'm honored to call home. Tip don't forget to make a stop at Punta Gorda garifuna village on a Sunday afternoon to have a little bit of cultural experience 😉😊
My favorite place on earth!We have been 13 times and would have been 15 if not for the pandemic. Beautiful island and beautiful people. Can’t wait to see your adventures!
@@thewrightsights booked for end of December 🤞🤞🤞I have expat friend there that does off the beaten path tours if you would like his info let me know. Make sure you get to Camp bay! We can’t wait to get back
Thinking of planning a family vacation here. Would like some thoughts and suggestions. Some things I am trying to determine; What is the cost of items/food on the island? Is there a store to purchase groceries for the house, or is it all market style vendors?
@@joshuachavez9086 Hello, some things you have a harder time finding prices are in US dollars or Lempira some things are higher priced some are about the same. Meat can be hard to find like good steak and such. I purchased hamburger chicken and sausage all were fine. There are main grocery stores but you can find “mart or market” stores that carry some things as well. Depends where you will be staying.
I’m glad your enjoying my island I’m from punta gorda but I live in Seattle I’m flying home next month I got my own house of y’all around come thru come get to know the real Roatan
We loved our time in Roatan and can't wait to go back. We would love to get to know the real Roatan, the people and the island are lovely. Thank you for watching!
Very pretty. We have been to Rotan 5 times. Never to West Bay or West End. We will be back this May and have a all inclusive day booked on West Bay. Excited, we will be on a cruise ship, so our stay will be short. We have always visited by cruise ship so have never been to West End or West Bay. What we have seen on the other side of the island is nowhere as nice looking. Thanks for your video
I can’t say we are not jealous! Roatan is so beautiful. We also have a video about comparing the West End to West Bay you may find helpful. Enjoy your time on Roatan . Thanks for commenting and watching!
Welcome! We moved to Roatán from South Florida on April 14. Learning our way around as we search for our forever home! We are in the east end at Camp Bay Lodge- let us know if you come out this way! -Mike & Cathy Strine
Cathy Strine in this time that you have lived in roatan do you recommend living their with family? Also how is the food, electricity,and bills? Thank you
@@JoseSanchez-rw1st Today is our 80th day living on Roatan! My husband and I live with our family of two dogs and a cat. The food is delicious! And since we rent a loft at the Camp Bay Lodge, I can't speak to any of the utilities or bills yet. Thanks for asking!
my wife and i will be heading to the island for our 7th visit in Jan for a month, there's no other place like Roatan you will love it there. Lots to do in west end but the east is very beautiful also, the mangrove tunnels near Oakridge are a must see. I could recommend a great local tour guide up there if you are interested. Enjoy the island, its an incredible place!
@@thewrightsights do either of you have Instagram? If so look up roatanreeladdiction His name is Corey Thompson, he knows the east end very well. If you are to get in touch with him tell him Ron and Sherrie from Canada sent you his way, he will treat you right. He is a great guy. Also make sure you find your way to Hole in the Wall up east, really neat bar you can only get to by boat.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
I hope you can visit Roatan as well. It is one of our favorites in the entire Caribbean. Thanks so much for subscribing! We will be doing some videos next month from St. Augustine and other parts of Florida. I hope you check them out. Thanks for the encouraging comment!
I think you can stay anywhere on the island and have a great time. Keep in mind, the eastern side of the island is more isolated. So if you want a very quiet vacation that would be the place. We prefer the western side of the island. For a family of five, West Bay would be great. It is a "typical" beach style vacation with a lot of activities. You can catch a water taxi over to the West End for a lot of fun as well. I would advise looking on a site such as VRBO and find something within your budget. You will have a lot of options. There are several places right on the beach in West Bay. Infinity Bay on West Bay is very popular and economical. We did not stay there but spent a lot of time around there and heard good things. Here is a link to a quick search I did on VRBO. Have a great time in Roatan and thanks for watching! www.vrbo.com/search/keywords:roatan-bay-islands-honduras/arrival:2022-06-04/departure:2022-06-11?adultsCount=5&petIncluded=false
Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful video. How much was the other cost e.g. car rental food and airfare? One last thing how you book your lodge?
Thank you so much for watching. We rented a car from the place we stayed so it was cheaper than going through a national company. I thing we paid around $800 for the month. The food on Roatan is generaly inexpensive. We shopped for groceries at Eldon's Supermarket and it had very good prices. Airfare generally varies from when you go but from the United States we paid about $800 per ticket round trip. Look at VRBO and you will find many places to stay. We stayed at Seascape and loved it!
I sooooo want to get back! Been there on Cruises...thinking now just go and stay at resort! My daughter needs to see the Sloths again “Daniel Johnson’s Sloth”. Except for a couple of horror stories on internet about safety... Did you feel safe? Are there places to a avoid? Thank you for posting and sharing your video!❤️
We have not seen the sloths yet but have that on our list. We feel very safe here. The internet is filled with all sorts of horror stories about every place in the world so just take the normal safety precautions that you would take at home. The people are super friendly and helpful. Thanks for watching!
The only current restriction was a 10:00 PM curfew but that really didn't affect us at all. Travelers have to get a negative going in and coming out. Once on the island we didn't even notice COVID ever existed. It was a great month on a beautiful island. Thanks for watching!
We had to get a negative covid test within 72 hours of our flight. We had to fill our some immigration pre-flight forms within 48 hours. They are located at prechequeo.inm.gob.hn/ Each person needs this and print several copies to take with you. Completing the forms takes a couple of hours. It is a little cumbersome but straight forward. Every thing went very smooth for us. Thanks so much for watching!
Some locals told us that COVID was no bad at all. Since it is an island they were able to contain it somewhat. They currently had a 10:00 PM curfew. That was the only restriction we knew of on the island and it didn't bother us since we are usually not out at that time anyway. You will love Roatan, it is a beautiful island with so much to do. Thanks for watching!
Hello April, we used a private shuttle provided by the place we stayed. Sorry I don't have first hand knowledge to recommend a shuttle for you. Have a great time in Roatan! Thanks for watching thewrightsights!
LOL. Yes, that was the first place and we were hungry! We did eat great Honduran food all month long. Check out our great eats at Punta Gorda. ua-cam.com/video/6jXV9--Tvlc/v-deo.html

How was traveling to Roatan with covid stuff?

Roatán,entre las mejores del mundo.
Esperamos volver algún día! Gracias por ver
this video came right on time for me, how was your flight and procedures with the restrictions and test if needed.
Wondering this as well.
We had to get a negative covid test within 72 hours of our flight. We had to fill our some immigration pre-flight forms within 48 hours. They are located at prechequeo.inm.gob.hn/ Each person needs this and print several copies to take with you. Completing the forms takes a couple of hours.

Hows the weather? I'll be there soon and im hoping its not tooHot and humid.
stay in the shade and you'll be fine
😂
Pretty hot and humid but I am not complaining! We dive on Thursday so I know it won't be hot under the water. :) Thanks for watching.
What is the COVID situation like? Any curfews or early closures? High cases? Looking to visit.
Some locals told us that COVID was no bad at all. Since it is an island they were able to contain it somewhat. They currently had a 10:00 PM curfew. That was the only restriction we knew of on the island and it didn't bother us since we are usually not out at that time anyway. You will love Roatan, it is a beautiful island with so much to do. Thanks for watching!
Spending a month on Roatan? That's wealth.
What shuttle did you use from airport?
Hello April, we used a private shuttle provided by the place we stayed. Sorry I don't have first hand knowledge to recommend a shuttle for you. Have a great time in Roatan! Thanks for watching thewrightsights!
So jealous!
Wish you could join us!
88° year-round
We are at about 15 degrees where I live now. We miss Roatan! Thanks for watching!
$1,300 for a month? That's a bargain! It looks great. Is it walking distance to town? Or downtown area?
It is not walking distance. It is right off the main road between the West End West Bay. Perfect location if you have a car.
@@thewrightsights Cool. Thanks! Enjoy paradise!
Who is operating the camera?
I usually operate the camera using a selfie stick. Thanks for watching!
Me roasting my fiance from Ohio, cus his people just went to my country to eat mexican tacos lol
Its like going to china to eat popeyes. oh lord
LOL. Yes, that was the first place and we were hungry! We did eat great Honduran food all month long. Check out our great eats at Punta Gorda. ua-cam.com/video/6jXV9--Tvlc/v-deo.html
