Electrical Work
Before cell phones (we used marine radios), before most roads were paved, before the mall, before the golf course, before the modern grocery store (1987 actually is when Vegas started here on the island), and ever since, Vegas Electric has been doing top quality electrical work in the Bay Islands. Located in Dixon Cove (half way between Coxen Hole and French Harbor), Vegas Electric handles any and all electrical needs. Vegas Electric is the leader in the industry for solar, wind, efficient lighting, and A/C electrical systems. For both experience and quality check out Vegas Electric. http://www.vegaselectric.net/
Roatan Wine Room
The Roatan Wine Room is a retail wine shop, tasting room, and wine club that opened in April 2018 by Lauren Schneidewind. The wine room has a rotating stock of 150 different wines from all over the world. They have wines for every price point and taste preference, whether you’re headed to West Bay Beach for the day with some friends or trying to impress at a dinner party. The Roatan Wine Room is conveniently located just outside of West End in the new Coconut Tree Shopping Plaza. For more information, visit www.RoatanWineRoom.com or contact Lauren at Lauren@RoatanWineRoom.com.
Roatan’s new Wine Room was well worth the trip from Calabash Bight, at the far east end of the island to west end. We tasted a beautiful crisp Prosecco and liked it so much that we took a cold bottle to lunch! The Wine Room has an excellent selection of wine that up until now have not been available here. I highly recommend Lauren and her staff at the Wine Room, they will be happy to help you select the perfect wine for any occasion and will also do special orders. My rating as a shopping experience on Roatan a 10! Marilyn Jo Northagen Poirier Need a real estate PRO visit Alex Buyer’s Agent Web site –

Vacation rentals –
Vacation rentals offer a glimpse into reality in a different place. You may wish to stay in a vacation rental on Roatan so you can get a real feel for island living – especially if you’re considering buying real estate on the island. Understand the pros and cons, the opportunities and the limitations, before you jump into homeownership. https://jorgechavezonroatan.
Direct Flights to Roatan
I am often asked about the best way to get to the International Airport on Roatan (RTB).
From Toronto and Montreal: Air Transat and Sunwing (seasonal)
From Miami and Dallas: American
From Miami: Cayman Airways with one stop
From Atlanta: Delta
From Houston: United
From Belize City: Tropic Airlines
From San Salvador: Avianca Air
|
All of the above have certain days of the week that they fly to RTB, though most all fly on weekends. Untied flies to Roatan the most days of the week though there are daily flights to San Pedro Sula on the mainland of Honduras with several connecting flights with regional airlines like CM & SOSA. |
