I´m going to have to cheat here a bit as I didn´t really see much of the country as a whole, rather just Utila and a night on either side. But I´ll give my all powerful opinion anyway...
Value for money 6/10
Honduras is definitely cheaper than Costa Rica. That said, Utila is pretty remote and thus wasn´t as cheap as I´d hoped.
Natural wonders 6/10
Utila was really beautiful, don´t get me wrong. It just wasn´t the tropical paradise I´d expected. The reefs and visibility were outstanding, however, so I still rate the place pretty highly.
The people 8/10
Those Caribbean folk are seriously friendly. And they speak English (in their own way...). The staff at the dive centre were fantastic too.
Backpackability 8/10
Getting around the country is cheap and efficient, the ferries run smoothly and accommodation is reasonably cheap as is food.
Wow factor 8/10
I don´t have to validate this one but I´m giving it a high score just because I had such a good time! Everyone on Utila was so friendly and the people I met were fantastic. then again maybe it was just the rum...
Total 36/50
Ah! A distinction for Honduras it seems...
Okay, that done, I am in a cyber cafe with a great connection so I´ll throw in some pics for you to peruse. I unfortunately lost a bunch of good ones somwhere between my own incompetence and my ipod´s malfunction.
