Fonsie's Bar

Anyone been there?  Good or bad?  Walking distance from where Royal Caribbean docks?

[Guest 2000]

Everything in Coxen Hole is walkable from the dock, depending on how much walking you do. 

 

I would be concerned if they are still open, the Facebook page was updated in 2017 and the reviews on Trip advisor are from 2015.

Thanks  I was thinking the same thing.  Do you have any bar recommendations within walking distance?

[Guest 2000]

I am sorry I do not, I only go to Coxen Hole for groceries, that I am allergic to alcohol. :0) 

 

Sundowner's in West End is dang near world famous.

Monkey LaLa is right in port if you want just a bar. And there's Captain Jack's and Fort Consolation both a short distance away to your left.

 

 

If you're looking for good Honduran food close to the port, try Berties or Madah's Kitchen, both a short walk along the road going to your right out of the port.

Hi There - Is Fort Consolation walkable from the Coxen Hole Port and a safe walk?  My Mom and I will be walking there as she won't zip line 🙂 I have heard mixed comments on safety and don't want to walk somewhere too far or sketchy 🙂

We just got back from there.  We walked as far as Capt Jack's )not very far) and the walk was pretty sketchy as there is no sidewalk and we had to dodge the oncoming cars.  Not sure if it gets better past there on the way to Ft Consolation

Maybe you can sweet talk a taxi guy to driving there.  But would agree little shoulder off the road that way, no sidewalk.

The zip line no longer goes from the port to the fort as they are expanding the pier area

Is this in progress already? I didn't realize it was moving ahead yet.

Is Norwegian still going into Coxen Hole given the construction?

Sorry I have no idea but Norwegian generally tenders in if Royal are docked in my experience so I would think so. 

 

I had no idea construction was progressing.
