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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at clubs?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
