Hello All,
Hopeful to get vaccinated in next couple of months and being able to travel again. I am planning for our first trip to roatan in July. I know it will be HOT there and we are ok with it. Hopefully the diving will be good. Going through lot of posts here and have narrowed it down to staying near west end or west bay. Also looking at Roatan Divers as they look like a nice valet dive op.
Some info I could not get through the posts and was hoping someone could shed some light on. Where do you get the currency exchanged? I understand that you can use usd at most places, but while travelling I like to use local currency. Are there some safe ATM's around where you will not get skimmed? Any places convert usd to local currency? Also I see that water taxi stops after certain time between west bay and west end. Is it safe to use scooters in the evening/night? Any harassment from local police like in cozumel? or do you suggest just take a cab every time. Any information will be really helpful.
