- Your driver meets you outside arrivals with a Camp Bay Lodge sign. Send us your flight number and arrival time.
- About 1 hr 15 min east to Camp Bay. There are no shops near the lodge, so you can stop at the supermarket on the way (+$10).

Can I bring my pet?
Sorry, pets are not allowed at The Lodge.
Will I need cash, or can I use credit cards?
It is a good idea to be prepared to pay with cash (USD or HNL) at many businesses. On the island it is customary for larger establishments to accept credit cards. Many establishments, however, only accept cash. Cash is the more common means of payment on the east end where our Roatan beach hotel is located. Make sure when you bring USD that the bills are flawless otherwise they get rejected.
At The Lodge we do accept credit cards as well as cash so no need to worry when it comes to your expenses at The Lodge.
What should I bring when I am staying at The Lodge?
With a full restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner you do not need to bring food unless you are planning to cook in one of the Cabanas or Studios. If you have some special dietary needs, or just prefer to have your own snacks, all rooms are equipped with at least a small refrigerator.
Similar to all areas of the Caribbean, we do have the no-see-ums at times. There is almost always a steady breeze off the water which keeps these little monsters at bay, but during the early morning or at sunset you may want to have some insect repellent. You can bring this with you or you can purchase it on the island. At The Lodge we usually have some natural coconut oil for sale which is the repellent of choice for the local islanders.
Does The Lodge have Air Conditioning?
All rooms at The Lodge do have air conditioning. Most guests find that the steady easterly trade winds that we have in Camp Bay most of the year are sufficient to keep the rooms comfortable. They prefer to enjoy the sounds of the sea and the other natural elements rather than keeping their rooms closed and air conditioning running.
Should I consider any special medical preparations when coming to Roatan?
There are no requirements for special inoculations or shots to vacation on the island. Malaria is not present on the island and the occurrence of dengue is very unusual. Unless you feel very strongly we do not see any need to take these precautions.
What is the best way to get around on the East End of the island?
If you are planning to explore the Camp Bay area, Port Royal National Forrest, or even the Diamond Rock community, you can do a lot on foot, or by arranging a ride at The Lodge office or restaurant. We can usually hook you up with some local transportation or arrange for your pick-up and return if you have arranged an activity with one of our local businesses.
If during your stay you decide that you do want to rent a car to explore more distant parts of the island, The Lodge can arrange with a local rental agency to deliver a car and pick it up once you return. A delivery/pick-up fee is added to the rental but it is still economical to do this rather than rent a car for your entire stay.
