  • Visited here on a cruise...
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 06/05/08
    It's a pretty depressed country. I was hoping we'd enjoy it and want to come back, but unless you are in to very hot/humid walks through the rainforest or snorkeling, there is not a whole lot to do.

    We went cave tubing and it was very very crowded. Apparently everyone cave tubes when they go to Belize now.

  • Stay away !!!
    By MATTDADDY, 12/28/06
    Check the US State Department website. The southern regions of Belize that share a border with Guatamala is being over run by armed roadside bandits. They pull over Tourist Vans, Busses and even passenger vehicles by gun and even machete point. Most of the banditis are from Guatamala who farm pot on the Belize side of the border to evade stiffer ...

  • A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WITH WONDERFUL CITIZENS
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 11/07/06
    WE LANDED IN BELIZE CITY IN OCTOBER AND LOVED IT.


    THE CITIZENS WERE WONDERFUL. THE PURCHASE POWER OF THE US DOLLAR IS BASICALLY 2 BELIZE TO ONE U.S. THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC AND LOW IN COST.

    I WOULD MOVE TO BELIZE TO LOVE WHEN I RETIRE IF MY WIFE WOULD LET ME.

    DRUG COSTS ARE MINIMAL--GREAT PLACE TO GET RXS FILLED----WE ARE GOING TO LOOK INTO MAILORDER.

  • Nice
    By charlieb_82721, 06/30/06
    Liked the friendly people

    Disliked the gang influence from the USA, but it was semi-undercontrol drugs are a problem every where not just there.

    Loved the food had some great meal at reasonable prices

    Liked the fact the place was clean not like other thrid world countries, not a lot of odors from the streets ect..

    Tip: Rent a car!
    Drove to Tikal it was great!
    Snorkelling was a blast!

  • Not enough time there
    By Brandy P, 02/02/06
    I loved Belize. The city was a little dirty and run down, but isn't that part of the experience, the culture. I didn't ever feel unsafe, but I wasn't there at night. Honduras felt unsafe at all times. The cave tubing was incredible as well as the zip lining. Shopping by the port was like a street fair. If you are looking for major ...

  • Definitely Return
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 01/22/06
    Hospitality is the key word here - not to mention the beautiful beaches and snorkeling. November is a great time to visit as it's not too terribly hot. The ruins at the end of a boat trip down the Belize River is certainly worth the time spent.

  • Unfriendly locals and unsafe city
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 12/22/05
    Our cruise ship stopped there as well - what a waste!!! Wish we had stayed another day in Cozumel or Roatan. The locals were not friendly and actually seemed like they didn't want us there. We went on a snorkeling tour, the crew was aweful and the snorkeling was pretty lame. Save your money for snorkeling in Roatan and shopping in Cozumel. You can't beat the locals in Cozumel!!!!

  • Carribean Palms Hotel
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 11/30/05
    Do not book this hotel. It's more like a boarding house, no hot water, no restaurant, not very clean eihter. Way overpriced for the location and lack of amenities.

    Overall I had a great time in Belize, skip the city, it's dirty and congested. Get to the beach and the interior, it's beautiful.

    Don't recommend women traveling along. It's a Third World country and there have been problems for female tourist.
