This time of year is always an exciting time in Roatan, we have the holiday season fast approaching and the peak tourist season for Roatan. It is a time where Roatan businesses can start to gauge from incoming inquiries and bookings just how 2012 will work out, and from initial reports things are looking good.

Mike Carter of Roatan Life Vacation Rentals mentions: The busy season is definitely almost here. We are nearly 100% sold out for the Christmas and New Years Holidays with just a few new to the market options and a few smaller units available. If anyone is planning on coming down for the winter season or Semana Santa Holiday definitely encourage them to do their research and make their lodging decisions early to get the best units reserved.
