Visited Belize for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $122/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8.5/10. Would return.
AMA.
Belize — overrated?

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $99/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $72/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
