What you'll spend each month

The single most useful thing this page can give you is an honest monthly total. The table below shows three tiers of life on Roatan in 2026 dollars. Tier A is the leanest — a solo backpacker, a Divemaster intern, someone here primarily for the diving and not much else. Tier B is the most common — an IDC candidate, a working dive professional, a modest expat. Tier C is comfortable — a retired couple, a family, a remote worker who wants their own space. Pick the row that matches your situation and read down.
