Building in Roatan by Adkmom
Hi we are beginning a building project near West End Roatan, I was wondering if anyone else has built on the island who may be able to offer some advice, ideas, encouragement.

Hi. We are considering moving to Roatan with 2 children. What is the malaria situation there? Are prophylactics necessary? Also, are there any expat children living on the island? Are there home schooling groups? Any info will be much ...
There is malaria on the island, but long-term use of anti-malarials can cause liver damage, so no one living here takes them. I'm here with my 2 boys, and none of us have ever had a problem, we just use repellent with the mosquitoes are out. ... Read More
