Recommended Travel Adaptor for Roatán
We’ve looked at everything — safety, reliability, cost, functionality and how well they actually perform in practice — and this adaptor clearly stood out.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Roatán is commonly visited together with Belize and the Cayman Islands. Good idea to check the plug info — some islands use different types.
Sockets in Roatán
The plug types you’ll find in Roatán are Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Some of your kit may need a voltage converter in Roatán, since the local mains doesn’t line up with Britain’s 230 V.
Check your device’s voltage rating before plugging in abroad. If you see ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you’re in luck — no converter required, as is the case with most modern electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Sometimes the simplest bits of kit are the most useful. A luggage scale saves your wallet, a power bank saves your battery, and packing cubes save your sanity when you’re digging through your bag. We’ve tested them, and they’ve quickly become our travel staples.
