Returned from 7 days in Belize. Exceeded expectations.
Accommodation:
Budget hotel near the main area. $67/night. Clean and central.
Scene:
Quieter than I hoped but still good. Prices were great value.
Quality:
Girls were friendly and attractive overall. Had 8 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.
Overall: 9/10. Good destination, recommend for first-timers.
Happy to answer any questions.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
