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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

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

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