| Subject: | RE: [roatan] Travellers Checks - where to cash |
Our recent trip to Roatan, we didn't take alot cash, as we were advised not to, we stayed at Anthoneys Key, they won't cash checks or advance money on visa debit or credit cards, we soon ran out cash, had to pay taxi $10 (bus was also $10) to go to nearest bank & stand in line 3 hours and wait, this was the only time we got to go to town, the rest of the time we were stuck at our resort even on rainy days, when we go back we will cary enough cash, & we did feel safe , when we were at bank the taxi driver stayed in sight, he was very helpful, best $10 we spent there, would be great place to shop. -------Original Message------- From: roatan.....com Date: 1/6/2004 3:54:25 PM To: roatan.....com Subject: RE: [roatan] Travellers Checks - where to cash? Try buying something small at grocery stores and taking change--Warren's and Eldons will usually cash them. But make SURE signature matches and you have good I.D. Do the signing and filling out ONLY after they agree to take them and let them instruct you as to how they want it done. Or you can stay here--we take them and/or cash them for our folks. But it's GOTTA be American Express!!! Waylon and Sandy Sims Coral Beach Inn's Photos are available at: http://members.aol.com/athundersm/photos.htm Note: E-mail is NOT perfect.

I spent FOUR HOURS standing in line at the bank today (the one up the street from Warren's in Coxen Hole) only to find they refused to cash my VISA travellers checks! Does anyone know of a bank that will cash them?? For those people who are coming down here, I recommend you don't bring them, as the locals seemed to think standing in line for hours at the bank was pretty normal. And if you MUST bring travellers checks, be sure they are American Express and be prepared for quite a long wait at the bank.
