Riding in vehicles driven by the new owners of Reef House Resort, versus riding in the same vehicles when driven by their 'local' handyman / repair & improvosation genius. It takes a 'local' to really confidently navigate the roads safely, even in daylight, in my opinion, and the liability laws - no thank you. Growing up in South Texas, I know full well the law of the rich tourist vs. the 'local national' in US/Mexico border areas, as well as la mordida (if you have to ask, you're best to just avoid it), and that's just one reason why I would personally never rent a car for myself to drive in Mexico. But at least there's loads of agencies you can get special 'Mexico Car & Liability Insurance' through, whether taking your own car into Mexico or renting one while visiting there. I have no idea if this type insurance is available in Honduras, nor did I have the motivation to find out.
I did not see what traffic was like in Mainland Honduras, only Roatan while I was there. Direct flights on Continental all the way to & back for us, cheaper than TACA quoted to boot! No luggage delays or problems for us using Continental for Roatan.
Dominica was one of the more challenging spots I rented a vehicle at, twisty mountain roads with spots of work-not-in-progress since whichever hurricane was most recent, with pretty sheer & spectacular drop-offs along the road edges in spots, but before more than half the week was over, I was 'driving like a local' according to the wife, and I knew where the goat herd camped at night, the part of the road where the donkey who was flailing on his back in the middle of the road because he was itchy around the curve would be found, etc. No way would I choose to drive in Honduras. No way.
Any of the Cayman Islands, Dominica, Bonaire, Curacao (which requires some big-city 'assertive' driving style), French Polynesia (but not Tahiti itself), etc. were not a problem for me.
