Other things to note
Electricity:
The daily room rate does not include the cost of electricity, as it is quite expensive on Roatan. The local power company, Roatan Electric Company (RECO), predominantly relies on diesel generators to generate electricity, resulting in a higher cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) compared to the mainland of Honduras. On Roatan, the cost typically exceeds $0.40 per kWh, while in the Honduran mainland, it ranges from $0.07 to $0.21 (as of 08/15/2022), depending on the state.
To ensure fairness and offer lower room rates, we have opted for a system where guests are charged based on their actual electricity usage, rather than a flat fee for amenities such as air conditioning and laundry. By allowing guests to self-regulate their electrical consumption, we aim to provide flexibility and transparency. The moderate use of air conditioning in the bedrooms during the night and other appliances can amount to approximately $8 - $14 USD per day.
To calculate your electrical charge, we will record the meter reading at both check-in and check-out. The difference between the two readings will be multiplied by $0.50 per kWh. Payment can be made in cash or through popular online payment platforms such as Airbnb, or Pay. Pal.
We kindly encourage you to adopt energy-saving practices during your stay. Remember to turn off lights and air conditioning when you are not in the room or building, and please close doors and windows when the air conditioners are in use.
While power outages are less frequent than in the past, it's worth noting that Roatan, like any Caribbean island, may experience occasional disruptions in electricity supply. We kindly request that you close all faucets and showers during these instances.
By supporting Roatan's commitment to conserving the health of its reef and jungle through energy and water conservation, you contribute to the sustainability of this beautiful island. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Pool: Use of the pool is included in your rate for up to 4 people staying in your condo. There are 2 floaties you may use and pool hours are 7:30 am -9:30 pm.
Please note: that no pets will be allowed inside or outside the condo. Extra cleaning will apply should this happen.
