Roatan Trip Report

[Colin]

Gail,
thanks for the kind words....as far as bugs, we got a few small bites when we were eating outside the main dining room at dinner, but very few otherwise. Bring some bug spray with lots of DEET just in case.

CoCo is a great place...we got a chance to talk to some folks at the airport who stayed there and they really enjoyed it. Many peple call it "scuba summer camp" because of the laid-back atmosphere and rustic accommodations. In fact, it's right across the channel from Fantasy. You could grab a kayak and paddle over for a beer, and check the place out. Plus the advantage of CoCo is the wall right in front of the resort. We did that wall one one of the dives, and it's quite a nice shore dive.

Have a great time, but be sure you get pre-checked-in 48 hours ahead of time when you are coming home to save a ton of time at the airport. It can be a real mess, since a lot of the flights all leave close to the same time on certain days, and the airport is quite small.  Definitely re-confirm your flights also, especially if you're on TACA (Take a Chance Airlines) as they are notorious for losing reservations.

Colin.
