Q: Who is the typical Oceano owner?
A: Seasonal and year round families are buying at Oceano. Most buyers have scoured the Caribbean and States discovered Roatan recently. Warm weather enthusiasts have shown particular interest - those who enjoy easy access to boating, beaches, golf, bird watching, scuba, and fishing delight in the exceptional Caribbean climate.
Year round, being here is easy, so most of our owners are relaxed and welcoming folks from the same places you come from.
Q: Is Oceano hooked up to services?
A: All utilities, including water and eco-wastewater, as well as
electricity, satellite fibre optic telephone and internet are directly
connected to Oceano. Rainwater will be retained and together with carefully
bio-treated wastewater, will provide sufficient irrigation without using
potable water. We plan that all waste will be collected and incinerated in a
new facility that supplements Roatan's power production. Additionally, we
aim to install wind and solar power with any excess production supplementing
the island¹s grid.
Q: Is there water access? Where will I store my boat and vehicle?
A: Oceano is located on the shores of the south Caribbean on Caribe Bight
(bay). The soft white sandy beaches, warm waters, wooded bluffs, rolling
hills and boat dock are conveniently located. We have set aside an area for
boat and vehicle storage for all residents. Local Guides are highly skilled
and exceptional value for divers, fisherman and explorers.
