Advantages: Local culture Disadvantages: Local crime
I visited Belize City on business.
I was warned Belize City can be dangerous, particularly at night. This may well be the case if you venture in some parts of the city in the shanytowns. I went out only once in then night, with one of the local colleagues of my company. We headed for Freetown Rd and managed to isit a couple of clubs without any trouble whatsoever, although I was impressed by the amount of people drunk.
...food, I went in the area around King Street and had chinese, caribbean and mexican food.
All together, although Belize City did not prove to be as terrible as I thought, this is not the kind of place I would spend too mcuh time on my holidays. ... more

Apparently Belize City is plagued by drugs and local police do little or nothing to stamp down. Although the tropical climate can be a bit suffocating, I enjoyed the 2 days I spent there. Since I was there on business, I had a chance to meet quite a few local people. In frankness, I never felt 100% relaxed, and always felt a bit uneasy.
Concerning food, I went in the area around King Street and had chinese, caribbean and mexican food.
All together, although Belize City did not prove to be as terrible as I thought, this is not the kind of place I would spend too mcuh time on my holidays.
Advantages: The Blue Hole, rich with history Disadvantages: beggars following you around town asking for money
I visited Belize in 2006 on a diving trip so this is a review of both Belize and the diving.
What Made me Choose Belize?
I am a keen diver and had just finished watching champion freediver, Tanya Streeter, in a programme about scuba diving and skin diving in Belize. I was so fascinated and taken by the place that I decided I must go and spent time researching my different options. I settled on a liveaboard experience (7 days at sea) and a week spent in Belize.
Getting to/from Belize
I live in Berkshire so I flew from London Heathrow to BelizeCity. There are no direct flights from the UK so I had to fly via Miami and stay in Miami overnight. It was Virgin from LHR to Miami and American to Belize.
Coming back I did not have to do an overnight but spent a lot of time waiting at Miami International ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of General: Belize
Advantages: idyllic setting, sun, sea and beer by sunset. Disadvantages: gets a bit windy.
A 45 minute boat ride took us away from the hustle and bustle of the small port in BelizeCity, and out to the idyllic island/islands of Caye Caulker.
Arriving at sunset gives you the feeling that you don't want to go anywhere else...........ever!!
We stayed at the Rainbow Hotel, which provides rooms that all have a sea view. In fact you didn't even have to get out of bed to watch the sun rise!
Highly recommended is a snorkelling trip out to the reef, a conservation area that offers a huge range of marine life. Our snorkel guide, Carlos, took us out to 3 different spots to enjoy the corals and fish. The highlight being Sharkray Alley, having plyed the local Nurse sharks and Stingrays with fish, we were then allowed to swim in amongst them, or rather for them to swim all over us, an amazing experience, almost on par with swimming ...
Advantages: Amazing wildlife, Mayan temples, cheap day trips & food Disadvantages: Run down, ghettos, high visible unemployment & homelessness
the second longest barrier reef system in the world. It also houses 3 out of 4 of the only Atolls in the Western Hemisphere. The diving here is really second to none.
One of the major dive highlights for anyone would have to be The Great Blue Hole, a geological anomaly, in simple terms this was once a cave in ice age times, which during evolution sunk into the sea. At its deepest point it measures 412 foot deep and contains stalactites, something which is fascinating, as they only form in an air environment. When I dived it there were no less than 9 sharks within easy reach, all of which filled me with total awe.
- If you love archaeology then you will be in heaven, there are over 14,000 Mayan temples in the BelizeCity area alone. To mention but a few; Altun Ha, where they found the famous jade head weighing 10 pounds (see photo) and is ...
