Have never been, my buddy and I typically hit Coz for our annual guys trip. Have read a few recent reviews and it didn’t sound great. We collectively have dove much of the Caribbean but not here. Any suggestions on resorts or is it worth it ove r Cozumel or perhaps Bonaire? Thank you
Roatan in November?

Didn't sound great in Nov, or didn't sound great at all?

Hey brsnow,
I lived in Utila for a while, which is the neighbour island of Roatan. I personally experienced November as not the best time of the year. It obviously can be different every year, but 2021 it was rain all day every day! Diving is great all year round though. I guess it depends how much time you want to spend on land...
Roatan is a great vacation destination in general!

Well, usually January till March is great but you can still expect a little rain here an then.
Personally I think the best time is March/April/May. June till September is also great it just gets very hot. So it depends a little on what you like. But also keep in mind that there is Whale Shark season, which is an incredible encounter!

Thank you, I don’t mind the heat so June/July is a good window. Appreciate it
Yes.
I was in Roatan for 2 weeks of diving in November 2021, and it was rain, rain, rain, rain, and rain. One of those weeks was on shore and one was from a liveaboard. Maybe it was the rain, but on that week on shore, the biting insects were a terror. No matter what we did, we all got horrible bites that plagued us throughout that week and for much of the time we were on the liveaboard. By the end of the liveaboard trip, the itching had subsided. Then we had a final dinner on shore, with the driving rain coming through the thatched roof of the restaurant and the bites somehow reoccurring despite the rain and the repellant.
Other than that it as great.
