Tourist Publications for Roatan Island

There are three free publications that the tourist traveler will want to pick up soon as you arrive in Roatan.  The first is Honduras Tips which is readily available from most resorts and hotels.  In this publication, you will see "Tips" on Roatan and all of Honduras.  This is published quarterly and is considered the "The Official Travel Guide of Honduras".  Generally speaking, this is relatively current and has maps, descriptions of restaurants, etc.  Keep in mind this is a commercial publication that gets its revenue from selling ads.  Their web site at www.hondurastips.honduras.com.  It does cover the major cities in Honduras.  (We are not listed in this publication since we have not purchased an ad.) 

The second publication is the Bahia Magazine.  Bahia is much smaller in size than the Honduras Tips but is dedicated to covering Bay Islands (Roatan, Guanaja, and Utila). 

The third publication is the Lucky Lemp and will be found in the grocery stores and some other retail locations.  This is the most current of the publications and is published in-frequently.  This contains current events and other localized information that is not readily available.  It is full of ads from local stores but is useful to see what is going on.  

The last publication is the Bay Islands Voice.  This is a "lighter" view of what is going in the Bay Islands.  Some entertaining articles on the local politics and infrastructure problems in Honduras.  Their web site is www.bayislandsvoice.com and has lots of inside info on the island.  The Voice will give you the local gossip to good interesting news.
