Is Roatan Nice? Are the beaches really nice?

Question

I am planning to visit Roatan. Are the beaches really nice? Where is there white sand beaches? I do not dive, so is it still worth it?What is the climate and atmosphere like. Is it laid back or uptight. I know there are three islands, including Roatan. Has anyone ever been to Utilia or the onther ones? Is it nice?

Answer 1

Roatan is very nice and beautiful. The weather is wonderful! It's definetly worth it even if you don't dive. We didn't do any diving when we went.

I have also been to Utila. It has a different "feel" to it. There are lots of Europeans there backpacking and taking diving lessons. It's also a great place to visit. I really enjoyed both islands.

Answer 2

You don't need to dive to appreciate Roatan.There are several good beaches,see the first link below.The weather,like anywhere else in Central America varies with the seasons,see second link below.I have lived on Utila and visited Guanaja several times,each island has it's own pluses and minuses.They are all easy to reach and my advice would be to visit each of them while you are there.

Some other nearby Islands that are worth visiting are the Cayos Cochinos.See third link below.

Have a great trip!
