Getting to Roatan/Guanaja

Each of the following airlines book flights to Roatán: TACA, Continental, American.  TACA makes direct flights from Houston, New Orleans, and Miami, which is by far the most convenient way to come, so booking your flights through one of these three cities will make your trip much faster.  Once you are in Roatán or the mainland, you can reach the Posada del Sol by air from San Pedro Sula via La Ceiba. The airstrip is an adventure.  A boat takes you to the resort.  No roads or cars exist in this area.

What should I bring?

Casual and comfortable clothing is entirely appropriate for Guanaja.  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.

Do I need any shots before I come?

No special vaccinations will be needed before your visit to Guanaja.  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 sand fly repellent and sunscreen here, which are the most important 'medicines' you'll need.
