The island is so economically depressed,65% unemployment, dirty, littered highways,the Iguana farm smelled of manure, 2 monkeys were kept in seperate dirty, wire cages.  Not a nice attraction. Los Palmas felt like a tourist trap, small shops, restrooms were clean.  Beach area was good for photos.

Roatan

decent shopping,good hagglers.  Shopping at the "metal" jewelry stores was ridiculous, junk and costume passed off as "real". Do not eat at Carlos y Charlies, tourist food at gourmet prices, no restroom in or next to the bar.
nice beach area.

Costa Maya

Mel Fisher Museum, was pretty empty as far as displays, I was there 15 years ago and there were at least twice as many exhibits. Told by the cashier, the exhibits had been removed by the investors. Disappointing.

nice enough cabin,comfortable sealy posturepedic mattresses, small flat screen tv, not easy to view from the bed, speaker in tv was broken and cd players were cheap.  Nice porthole view.

We were locked out of our room for four hours off and on, first the battery in the door went fead, no one could get in, locksmith came and put in a new battery, then it locked us out not accepting the key cards we had, down to the service desk, back to the room nad then issued new cards that did work with the new battery.One day they ran out of coffee on the lido deck, there was no more coffer available that day on the buffet line.
