Roatan Island Grocery Stores

Roatan has a variety of grocery stores ranging from modern to basic.   Above are a few of the smaller stores.  The most notable and largest stores are Plaza Mar near the airport, Eldon's in French Harbour and Warren's in Coxen Hole.  Plaza Mar by far has the best selection of groceries and other items.  Eldon's in French Harbour has a good selection of food but is limited by the number of ship arrivals.  There are two smaller modern stores of significance.  One is Woody's in West End and the other is the Mini Mart (owned by Warren's next to Bojanges) just outside of Coxen Hole.   Most foreign expats on the island tend to do their shopping at Warren's and Eldon's.  The local island residents will use Warren's and Eldon's but these are deemed expensive by locals.  Instead, the local residents will use the "Super Mercado" in Coxen Hole and one of the many "pulperas" scattered around the island.   The Super Mercado is an open air and stall building complex with vegetables, meats, and house hold items in the residential center of Coxen Hole.   Additionally, there are several fish vendors along the street in Coxen Hole.  Frozen fish of restaurant quality is available at the Flying Fish packaging facility in Coxen Hole. 

In the residential areas, there are vegetable and fish vendors that will drive through the neighborhood with a pick up truck loaded with fresh fish and mainland vegetables and fruits.  Bread and tortillas are made on the island.  Don't expect to find a lot of locally grown items other than the great lettuce from the hydroponic garden near Sandy Bay.  Coconuts, guacamole, breadfruit, mangos, grapefruit and oranges are readily available when they are in season.  Just about everything else is comes from the mainland of Honduras or shipped directly in from the US.   Follow the links to see pictures of the Plaza Mar, Eldon's, Woody's and the Mini Mart store interiors.
