How to find us

FROM COXEN HOLE (Cruise Ship Pier)

Click here for the Cruise Ship Special

El Rancho Barrio Dorcas is situated along the highway from Coxen Hole to West End (right hand side of the road when coming from Coxen Hole). You will know when you are close to the ranch when you see these 3 landmarks:
just past Sandy Bay, look on your right-hand side for a sign that says “Sea Star”, just behind this sign is another that says “Inn of the Last Resort”, and just behind that sign is a church. Don’t turn in at those signs, just keep going along the same road. When you get to the top of the hill, you'll see another sign on your right saying "Green Hill Apartments". The ranch is located on your right-hand side around the bend from there, directly across from the "Tropico Italiano". Should you not see anyone at the ranch, just a little back along the road from Coxen Hole, you will see a very steep wooden staircase leading up to a house high on the hill (it has a Horseback Riding sign on it). Someone should be home.

FROM WEST END
If you are in West End, we are about a 15 minute walk up the highway to Coxen Hole from the triangle that marks the entrance to West End Village. It's about 3/4 of a mile. Look out for an olive-coloured mansion with white trim on your right. The ranch is just beyond, on your left. If you are coming to reserve and don't see anyone at the ranch, just keep walking a little farther up the road until you see a very steep wooden staircase leading up to a house high on the hill (it has a Horseback Riding sign on it). Someone should be home.

FROM WEST BAY by water taxi
Taxis from West Bay can be pricy in comparison to other locations on the island. A pleasant alternative would be to come to West End by water taxi. At the time of writing, the cost for the water taxi is $2 (40 Lempiras). There are several locations on the beach in West Bay where you can get one. Ask to be dropped off at Foster's in West End, where we will be happy to meet you with the horses. Please reserve so we can meet you there.

FROM FLOWERS BAY and WEST BAY (by car or taxi)
Take the road that goes from Flowers Bay to West End. It ends at the road that goes to Coxen Hole. Turn right. It's about 3/4 of a mile up the road. Look out for an olive-coloured mansion with white trim on your right. The ranch is just beyond, on your left, directly across from the "Tropico Italiano". Should you not see anyone at the ranch, just a little farther up the road you will see a very steep wooden staircase leading up to a house high on the hill (it has a Horseback Riding sign on it). Someone should be home.

WE CAN MEET YOU AT YOUR HOTEL!
If you are staying in West End, Shirkie can meet you with the horses at your hotel. Just give us a call, or, if sending an e-mail, please give us at least a day's notice, so we get the message in time. Reservation Info

BY TAXI
The taxi from Coxen Hole is US$15 each person, although if you are coming from the cruise ship, they will most likely guide you to a bus that costs US$15 each person. You should make sure that

1. the bus will let you off at the ranch,
2. it includes the ride back, and
3. you can meet up with your bus again.

Otherwise, walk into Coxen Hole (about 10 minutes) and catch a cab from in town. There is no lack of taxis on Roatan, even on cruise ship day, so don't worry that you won't find one.
