Another AKR question.

[salth2owannabe]

Looking at going in December and I see that adult beverages are not included in the all inclusive. Not a big drinker but a few beers and blender drinks for the wife are nice. Do they allow you to bring alcohol onto the property and how expensive are the resort beverages?
Also- December looks to be one of the rainier months will it crimp the wifes sun bathing time or is it like other Caribbean locations where the rain comes, rains hard and leaves about as fast?

Appreciate the help

This topic gets beat to death here and a search of the forums will yeild a lot of replies about weather but, in a nutshell. there is a slight chance weather will be great the whole time, there is also a chance there will be occasional showeres, but the odds favorite is for rain and clouds, which around the bay islands in winter can often mean all day for days in December. While it could happen, don't expect that afternoon shower that rains like crazy and the sun is out in time for sunset.
Of course this is only based on a few years or so experience and many years of weather data so it is not written in stone, the fact remains it is WEATHER and anything could happen

Appreciate it,
The weather charts, rainful history, and prior posts, were the first things I looked at. I've been to numerous islands on the caribbean side of things and know that weather and rain patterns differ. Never been to Roatan.

Any knowledge on the alcohol thing?

Never paid to stay there so I have no idea what is or isnt included but I would be quite sure you could bring whatever beverages you wanted to your room

We thought the prices for alcohol at AKR we very reasonable. Beer was $2.5-3.00 and mixed drinks were $6.00-$7.00. And the drinks were pretty large. Also there is usually a happy hour at one of their bars almost every afternoon which is 2 for 1.

The happy hour is the time to make your purchases. I drink soda and we usually pop down the road one day to a local store and load up on our drinks. They have no problem with you getting your own stuff.

I didn't find the prices for alcohol that bad. They will let you order extras. If you order 3, you will get a sixer and can haul it to your room for storage in the fridge. I was tired enough that partying wasn't my objective.

Yep,
Those are two words but put them together around Roatan and it usually means someone paid too much. You can buy festive beverages from the local grocery stores and they are still often less than your tourist duty free shops in the airports.
