My hubby and I are considering spending the winter in Roatan to get to know the island and country and consider living there.. We are already retired. What direction should we go in talking to someone about renting a place and which area since we wont have a car with us? Are there rental cars there or how hard would it be to buy one and then resell when we leave if we dont want to keep it? Thanks, Pete and Jackie

Sorry you didn't get any replies yet. For easy transportation by bus or taxi, I would suggest looking in the areas of Sandy Bay and West End, or possibly Flowers Bay (I have a few apartment rentals, if you're interested, you can contact me through www.roatanbackpackers.com) Rental cars start around $35/day. There generally aren't any cheap used cars here (everything's usually over $3,000), but if you want to purchase a car, you should be able to sell it when you go pretty easily. Taxis and buses between Coxen Hole-SandyBay-West End run frequently and are inexpensive, so I wouldn't bother with a car unless you want to rent way up on the east side of the island or in West Bay. Maybe rent a car for just a few days to go exploring and see the whole island.
If you have any other questions, you're welcome to send me a pm.
Mel
