So Tim and I have been in RoatĆ”n, Honduras for four nights so far, with two more still to go. Today is my birthday, and we actually celebrated Timās on our arrival day ā despite a five-hour delay in Miami. As frustrating as travel delays can be, Iām grateful we still made it in time for the South American Food & Wine Festival here on the island.
Sometimes thatās travel. The travel gods donāt always align, and thereās nothing you can do except roll with it and enjoy the journey anyway.
I havenāt posted much yet because Iāve really been trying to enjoy the experience and not live entirely through the lens of my camera, but Iām happy to say that RoatĆ”n has been absolutely wonderful so far.
Weāre staying at the Kimpton Grand RoatĆ”n Resort, and the property is beautiful ā relaxed luxury with a true island vibe. Weāve explored a bit beyond the resort as well, including a water taxi over to West End for breakfast and wandering around town, a visit to the chocolate factory, and a fun stop at a monkey and sloth sanctuary before the cruise crowds arrived.
The island itself is definitely a bit rustic in places, but everyone has been incredibly welcoming and kind. Everything here moves on island time, which honestly has been the perfect reminder to slow down and simply take it all in.
Here are a few moments from our trip so far. If RoatĆ”n has been on your radar, Iād absolutely recommend it.
Cheers to 51, friends ā off to celebrate now.
