Mahogany Bay Cruise Port

The Mahogany Bay Port has had a considerable impact on the economy of Isla de Roatán. Thousands of tourists visit the island each year via cruise ships sailing the Caribbean and stopping at the Mahogany Bay cruise terminal. The terminal is equipped with two berths and can accommodate several super-Panamax ships simultaneously. Cruise ships sailing to Roatan typically make pit stops in Belize and Cozumel as well. Situated in Dixon Cove on the southern shore of Roatan, Mahogany Bay is a pristine area surrounded by protected waters. The welcome centre at Mahogany Bay covers 20 acres and offers tourists a range of onshore and water activities to choose from. Tourists can enjoy dining and shopping at the many venues available within the welcome centre, though it is recommended to make reservations as these fill up quickly. You can take advantage of duty-free stores, jewellery shops, restaurants, bars, a pharmacy, and various souvenir and tourist-related shops right at the port. Carnival Corporation owns the terminal, so all of their vessels make use of the Mahogany Bay Port. Occasionally, when the winds and waters are rough, conditions may result in ships docking further west, at the Port of Roatan located in Coxen Hole.

Getting around in Roatán could not be easier with the numerous buses available. You don't need to have your own vehicle to explore the island. The buses are small vans that operate regular routes between Coxen Hole and West End, and between Coxen Hole and French Harbour. If you plan to stay on the East End of Roatán, it's likely you will need your own private vehicle or a taxi. It is recommended to check with the property manager when booking your accommodation to see if public transport is accessible in your area.

Pharmacies are not difficult to come by in Roatán. Most of the most popular ones are located in Coxen Hole. Eldon's Supermarket is a popular place to get medicines.

Roatan's high-speed network may not be the fastest, but it is reliable. If you are planning to visit the island and require a stable internet connection, you can be assured that the service is consistently reliable.
