Getting to Roatan
Each of the following airlines book flights to Roatan: Lacsa, TACA, Iberia, KLM, Lufthansa, Alitalia, 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 that much faster.
How do I get from the airport to West End?
Keifito's is located between West Bay and West End. If you are coming with a group, we can arrange transportation for you from the island. Otherwise, you can catch a cab from the airport to West End for up to $7.00 per person, depending on your cab driver. If you would like us to pick you up at the airport, please let us know in advance. If you rent a car, you can drive right to the resort or you can take the water taxi from West End for approximately $1.
What should I bring?
Casual and comfortable clothing is entirely appropriate for Roatan. 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 traveller's checks in U.S. dollars are also widely accepted on the island. Cash advances in Lempiras are also available on your credit cards at banks on the island.
Do I need any shots before I come?
No special vaccinations will be needed before your visit to Roatan. 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 mosquito repellent and sunscreen here, which are the most important 'medicines' you'll need.
