I've been playing through the Isle of Armour for a bit now, here are a few of my thoughts:
1) Honey is the second best female character in all of Generation 8. Sonia is still the best but Honey comes really close. She's just so sweet and wholesome and I lover her! Klara was okay until she threatened to kill me. Still I do like her expressions and some of her dialogue ("The squeeky wheel gets the grease!" after she whines about not having a dojo uniform).
2) The surroundings looks so much better than the standard Wild Area, I like all of the little details like he flowers around the trees and the fallen logs in the wetlands. It feels more like a real place than anywhere on Mainland Galar.
3) The character dialogue is great, there's a lot of genuinely funny one-liners and gags in there ("Wait, why is there a max capaity in this dojo?"), I found myself giggling throughout.
4) I like the Alola Diglett side quest, while the Digletts themselves are a bit of a pain to find, the gift Pokemon you get as rewards are totally worth the time and effort you have to put in.
5) Speaking of which, I'm really happy that there are opportunities to get not only the Alola forms and Starters, but the original versions of any Pokemon with a Galarian form like Weezing and Farfetch'd. It's much appreciated!
6) Those Move Tutor moves all sound great, but most of my Pokemon can't learn any of them, so it looks like I'm saving up My Armorite for now.
7) Honey Mustard. Heh.
