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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

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

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

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
