Most Helpful Customer Reviews 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars Little Updated from Last Version, January 12, 2007 By  SPS Gringo "SPS Gringo" (San Pedro Sula, Honduras) - See all my reviews I live in Honduras and used the previous version of the Moon Handbook quite a bit. In looking through the new version I find little that have been updated except things like the politics and some new pictures. I was quite disappointed to still see some restaurants and hotels that were listed in the last book and again reprinted in this one but that are out of business. Also the tourist visa information is incorrect due to a new law which was passed before the book was published. This mistake alone could cost some people time, money and hassle. I like the layout and for the most part the information is good and correct but I think it is a bit of a scam that they call it a new version. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough, detailed guidebook to Honduras, September 21, 2007 By  Alexander Steffler (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I highly recommend this guidebook for your travels in Honduras.

It is very informative and truely lets you know the best things to do and the best places to stay in each city you visit. Included are phone numbers, addresses, prices and maps so you can find your way around the country and know what to expect.
