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 a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Belize?

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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

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