Has anyone been to Belize recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Did you use an agency or find girls at the hotel?
