Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A voltage converter is only necessary if your device’s voltage differs from the country’s power supply. In Roatán, the voltage is roughly the same as in the U.S., so you’re good to go.
Always check the power label on your device before using it abroad. If it lists “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device is dual voltage and works with both 120V and 220-240V power sources without a converter. This applies to laptops, tablets, smartphones, cameras, and rechargeable toothbrushes.
