Choosing the Best Vacation Home in Roatan, Honduras


After flights, booking accommodations is probably the most important aspect of your Roatan vacation.  Vacation homes have become a popular way to spend time on the island as they can offer more amenities and flexibility compared to a hotel.  If this is an accommodation option you’d like to explore we’ve come up with some tips for choosing the best vacation home in Roatan, Honduras.



Choose Your Amenities

Vacation rentals are unlike hotels in many ways.  Certain things like room service or daily maid service may or may not be available.  But other things that may cost a fortune in a hotel, such as a fully equipped kitchen, a washer and dryer or a private swimming pool may be standard in a vacation rental.  It’s best to make a list of the amenities that are most important to you and compare accordingly.


Choose Your Location

Where you vacation home is situated will largely depend on the type of holiday you’re looking for.  Some people prefer to get away from it all whereas others want to be in the middle of all the action.  Ask yourself the importance of proximity to the ocean, beaches, restaurants, nightlife, transportation hubs etc and allow this to give you a general sense of where you’d prefer to stay.  Use this as a starting point for the location of your accommodation.

Read The Fine Print

Because vacation homes are not hotels, there may be some things that you’d expect from a hotel that you wouldn’t get with a rental - and vice versa.  Make sure you’re aware of the differences before you book.  If you require things such as 24 hour check in, concierge services, wheelchair accessibility or other special services, ensure you and your host are clear about this beforehand.  Failure to do so could leave you very disappointed.
