Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing place to spend the day, the beach is probably the better option.

One final tip before heading down to the beach, don't forget to bring towels from the ship.

If you're after more of a social atmosphere with music, drinks, and a little more energy, Mangrove Bay is definitely where you'll want to be.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring towels from the ship because they are expensive to buy at the port.

✓Book beach cabanas or 'relax on the beach' packages through your cruise line in advance to save money.

✓Arrive early to the beach if you want to secure a complimentary lounger in the shade.

✓Note that cruise line drink packages do not work at this destination; you must pay separately.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Accessing the island — You cannot walk into downtown Roatan from the port; you must use a taxi, rental car, or booked excursion.

Cost of amenities — Expect to pay separately for food and drinks as cruise drink packages are not accepted here.
