My husband and I with our child age 11 are wanting to retire to Roatan Honduras, but don't know how that will be with a small child how is the schooling? Also we are looking for somewhere inexpensive to stay while we are there checking it out for a few months. I can't seem to find out what the cost of living is there. We visited there a couple of years ago and loved it Could someone please help me out with these issues Thanks Kathy

This comes down to how do you really want to live. You can live on $1,500.00 per month on Roatan living simple. You can live for less on The Mainland. Private bilingual schools are available. You will need to speak with other expats that have a child that's in or been in schools.
How large of a home or apt are you looking for to rent ?

I can assist in finding expats a place to be neutral finding a home or bungalow to retire or simply to relax to make a final decision on where they want to relocate.
Don't forget that there are opportunities to rent out your property for income before you move or retire.
