Frequently asked questions:


Why do you charge extra for additional guests?  We are renting the whole property, aren't we?

Our villas can vary greatly in the number of guests, sometimes hosting only one couple and other times 20 or more guests.  We want our homes to be available to every group size and to charge one couple the same as a large group would not seem fair.  So based on the villa, we include from 2 to 6 in the base rate, and then charge beyond that.  In effect, smaller groups are given a discount off of what the normal rate would be.  If you have a larger group, the rates you see for extra guests aligns with our normal rate for the full luxury house and the cleaning and upkeep that go into maintaining and turning over large luxury homes directly on the ocean. 


What about the bugs?

Vivaro Roatan encourages you to bring or buy locally reef friendly bug sprays and sunscreens.  Our favorite is Aegis - all guests start with a bottle of bug spray, and we can provide other natural products such as sunscreen and soap bars.  That said, be careful when you first arrive to get a feel for how the bugs effect you.  Use OFF Family at sunrise and sunset.  Keep bedroom doors closed at all times to keep bugs out.

 

Can you drink the water?

All three Vivaro properties are on a cistern. The whole house is filtered. In addition, at the sink and the refrigerator the water and ice is run through an additional UV filter - you will notice the water is warm.  We drink the water.  Your group should each decide - anyone concerned should drink bottled water.  If you do prefer bottled water, you can purchase gallons at the nearby gas station which saves some plastic.


Do you have paddle boards, kayaks?

Vivaro - Beachfront has paddle boards.
A local shop has rental kayaks and paddle boards - ask our manager. 

 

Safety?

We consider Roatan safe. As in our hometown, there is petty theft. We have many layers of security at Vivaro and have had no issues. We are careful to lock every door and close every window when we leave to protect our belongings.

 

Groceries?

At stop at Eldon's on the way from the airport is a great place to start. Smaller markets and fruit and veggies stands are in West End.  ROA Mart is new favorite in the heart of West End Village - wine, liquor, snacks medicine, and grocery items.  The gas station has an ATM, beer, snacks, pizza, sandwiches as well as bug spray, anti-itch cream, antibiotics, etc.
