It's a much smaller island. Our first visit was a cruise stop for a day and we explored the whole place (with a private tour guide). We loved it so much that we booked a weeklong stay for the following year.

There aren't many hotels. Instead, there are condos and houses to rent. We chose a house as you probably seen in my post.

The snorkeling is AMAZING there. We went to a different spot everyday.

It's been a while since I was last in Jamaica, but when I was there, leaving the resort areas wasn't recommend and some places felt very unsafe. We never felt unsafe in Roatan.

The people are absolutely amazing as well.
