Clothes: Casual and comfortable clothing is entirely appropriate for the Bay Islands. The climate is warm year round, so the most you'll need is a light rain jacket, if even that.  You may want a pair of sandals and also some good hiking shoes. Roatan has amazing trails you can explore.

Sun Screen: For SURE... and lots of it, it is hot and the sun is very strong, bring a hat and your sun glasses too.

Bug Repellent: Definately, the stronger the better even if it smells funny. The sand flies or the 'no see'ems' can get brutal if like to sit on the beach, We have seen people with some allergic reactions that hurt for a week. On the other hand, some had absolutely no problems just afew little red spots and mild itching... They do sell local bug repellent in case you forget.

Bathing Suites: Unlike many other Islands, topless bathing is not as common, the local people are more conservative and as respect to their way of life we advise to keep your bathings suites on at all times, unless you are in a very secluded private spot.

What's the currency?

The national currency is the Lempira, 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 traveller's checks in U.S. dollars are also widely accepted 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.
