Returned from 14 days in Belize. Great trip overall.

Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $36/night. Good location, basic amenities.

Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were great value.

Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 7 encounters total.

Logistics:
Rented a motorbike for flexibility. Eating out was very affordable.

Safety:
Stick to main areas at night and you are fine.

Overall: 8.5/10. Would definitely return.

Happy to answer any questions.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
