My husband swears by Cactus Juice! The little buggers love him and he's tried lots of different 'remedies' with Cactus Juice producing the best results. It has made his vacations (and mine!) much more enjoyable. FYI ... I have been to CocoView, byt never as a guest, but I have heard nothing be wonderful things about the resort and its staff. Enjoy your trip!

The no-see-ums are pretty much everywhere except on the dive boats but that's not a problem isolated to just Roatan....they're all over the Caribbean. As for the no-see-ums.......you'll hate me:-) I don't wear any kind of protection because they don't bite me....mosquitoes either. Don't know why....drives my dive buddies nuts as they're swatting and spraying and looking like they have the measles. There's a product sold on Roatan, and at CoCo View assuming they aren't temporary 'out'....it's called Cactus Juice. It's derived from cactus, of course and is all natural. You do have to apply it more frequently than DEET but if I had to use something, I'd use the Cactus Juice. DEET kinda scares me due to its properties and I've read that it can harm neoprene and some rubber products...and it smells. Cactus Juice has no odor. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. I've got one for you........how are you getting to Roatan, via what route? May have some hints for you on that.

My husband and I are looking forward to our dive trip very much. What about the cabanas? I've been told to make sure we stay over the water because the no-see-ums will eat you alive. I'm suffering right now from those nasty bug bits that I didn't even know I was getting until three days later. What did you use to keep them at bay? --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "marge karalis" Subject: Re: [Roatan] cocoview Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 21:35:54 -0500 Hi Sue, Thanks for another rave review for cactus juice.
