Traveling to Roatan during Covid times

12/6/2020

0 Comments

 
Honduras opened its air borders for international flights near the end of August, and its land borders in October.  International arrivals must have gotten a negative Covid test taken within 72 hours prior of their arrival (test must say 'negative'- if it says 'not detected', you'll be denied boarding), as well as completing an on-line precheck-in form.  
The government sent out a lengthy document of all the protocols that need to be followed by businesses, including temperature reading of all guests on arrival, as well as daily temperature taking of staff, hand sanitizing stations, mask wearing, physical distancing markers, and cleaning and sanitizing protocols for accommodations.  
Unfortunately, flights from various airlines have been changed and cancelled, which makes the logistics of trip planning pretty difficult.  All the Canadian airlines that normally have direct flights to Roatan during the winter months cancelled their flights, and the two week quarantine that Canadians need to do when returning to Canada creates some pretty big obstacles.
If you have a month or more to come down, it makes it easier to work around the various obstacles.  Roatan is a beautiful spot to spend the winter, and the island is sorely in need of some tourism.  The hostel has economical rates- the longer you stay, the better rates we can work out for you, so just send us a message and let us know your plans.
