We had a great time with Angel. We did Island tour with him and used him for all the transportation we needed. Angel is a really nice guy and super knowledgeable, he also is a really good driver. He made the Island tour based on the places we wanted to see and also added couple of special places. If you go to Roatan, we would totally recommend to use Angels services, you will simply have great time and won't regret it.

Not sure this is always the case, but this island is way over crowded with cruise passengers most of the time. Lots of road construction everywhere. The stop at Daniel Johnson's Monkey & Sloth Hang Out was way underwhelming. The place is very small, not much more than a couple of backyard cages. It was hot, no way to buy a drink and not well planned by the tour operator. In my opinion, any tour of this location that involves being driven several miles is not a good idea at this time.
