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 last year and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Belize — overrated or just right?

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

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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