Where is Los Fuertes?
Los Fuertes is located in the middle of the island of Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands, 40 miles north of the mainland of Honduras in the Caribbean Sea. Just to the east are the communities of French Harbour and French Cay. Both French Harbour and French Cay are traditionally English-speaking communities, while Los Fuertes is a Spanish-speaking community.

Things to do?
French Cay boasts numerous attractions such as Daniel Johnson’s Monkey and Sloth Park, Arch’s Iguana Park and Little French Cay where you can purchase a day pass and enjoy the beach along with a small zoo. French Harbour has numerous shopping options such as Megaplaza Mall which features a movie theater that shows movies in English with Spanish subtitles.

How do I get around?
Los Fuertes is 4 miles east of Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport. The road that connects the airport to Los Fuertes is well paved and well maintained if you choose to rent a car. When you get off the main road, drive carefully, as Los Fuertes is steep and the roads are narrow. You can also hire a taxi.

Where can I stay?
There are numerous home rentals available nearby, especially in Brick Bay. The Clarion Hotel is located in French Harbour. Barefoot Cay Resort also offers acccommodations.

Where can I eat?
Inside the Clarion Hotel is Herbie’s, a sports bar and grill that will remind you of Buffalo Wild Wings.  French Harbour also has fast food options, including Papa John’s, Wendy’s and Bojangle’s fried chicken. To the east of Los Fuertes is Brick Bay, where Snapper’s offers fast-casual seafood and Azure at Barefoot Cay Resort offers gourmet options.
