Roatan - #3 Best Island In The World

http://www.tripadvisor.com/TravelersChoice-Islands-cTop-g1#1

TripAdvisor just ranked Roatan #3 in the Best Island in The World category. It is a beautiful place. No wonder so many expats living there and it's growing so quickly.

Indeed it is beautiful with a completely unstable government and corrupt officials. I would think anyone would have to have more money than sense to invest down there.

Don't get me wrong, I love the place, have been visiting for many years but the idea of investing...whew, far to many horror stories. I just don't have financial risk in me and highly suggest anyone thinking about it rent for a full year before buying.

Then again, if you buy with a management company in place, a condo or behind a private gate perhaps many of the worries are solved.

I feel the same way about New Orleans. I agree with you though... one of the reasons we backed out with buying a lot there.

Trip Advisor also ranked Infinity Bay on Roatan as a top hidden discovery hotel. I'll be making my 2nd weekly stay there shortly.

That's why we love to visit Roatan ... BUT wouldn't want to live or own property there. ;)

My wife is from Honduras but from the mainland. She wants to buy a house there.... not me. Heck no. I want to move out of the U.S. but not there. ha!

Some people love living in Roatan others do not, some make successful relocations and investments there while others do not. There are two sides to every story and I personally know lots of people who would live no where else, so if you ever want to see or hear from the other side let me know.
