Planning my first trip to Belize. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to the Philippines?
5. Uber or taxi?
Coming from Canada with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in Belize.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
