1.0 out of 5 stars This Book Almost Ruined My Honeymoon, March 15, 1999
By A Customer
I have traveled throughout Central America (Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico) and am definately an adventure traveler. I just returned from a two week vacation touring Belize, and this book makes one think the author never visited Belize. Whoever wrote the proceeding review must be related to the publisher somehow, because three other couples I met in Belize had used the book and were equally dissatified with it (one even threw theirs away after the fourth day).

The lodging reviews look like they are taken right out of the lodge's promotional material, and the section on Best Places to Stay is entirely misleading (It recommends Maruba as the best spot - meanwhile Maruba's water is undrinkable, the shower's smell like low tide, and a 24 hour a day disco beat is played over the sound-system), often missing the best places like Francis Ford Coppola's Jungle resort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful guide, January 11, 2006
This review is from: Belize Guide (Paperback)
My husband Alan and I personally found the book helpful and referred to it much.

Alan is the best travel guide and mentally records what is in travel books and obtains other available information. Others have asked him to plan their vacations as he secures the best deals and knows just where to go.

This book was a great aid in knowing what to do and what to expect in prices.

We stayed on the island of Ambergris Caye at Captain Morgan's and had a remarkable time. We found the tourists and inhabitants to be far more personal and gracious than those we met in Aruba. However, we could not just walk into the Caribbean and swim as in Aruba; but the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world kept the waters calm just not swimmable from shore.

We would recommend this guide, and reading whatever else is available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, no nonsense guide, to an amazing country!, February 1, 1999
By A Customer
I have used this guide during three trips to Belize. Great true information and facts, for a traveler that wants to enjoy a wonderful, unspoiled, natural vacation setting in the rainforests or on the wonderful coastal islands (cayes). The section on "Most Memorable Places to Stay" is invaluable for the inexperienced traveler to Belize.
