Agree with your posting, ONCE you get there. The airfares are normally very high, however, except for out of Miami because of SolAir competition. Copan and Roatan are great places, however, difficult to get there due to lousy connections out of the mainland to Roatan and the 2 plus hour drive from San Pedro Sula to Copan. ONCE you get to Roatan, the waters and diving are great and ONCE you get to Copan, the Mayan ruins are a spectacular, pristine example of Mayan culture.
