True Belize, pretty harbour, easy access to Cayes
Con
Rundown buildings and high crime areas
In a nutshell
For tourism activities, you can use this as a hub. but there's not much to do in Belize City itself for tourists
Tips that refer to places other than Belize City
20 Reviews After you get out of the city and into the jungle, you will obviously step back in time. Also, you'll be entering the home of the true Mayan residents, the animals. In the jungles, there will be plenty of birds, lizards, crocodiles, etc. One of the biggest draws is the howler monkeys. Particularly...
5 Reviews If you get a chance to check out Belize Zoo outside of Belize City, be sure to leave your mark on the wall here. The cost is about 2.75 USD, 5.00 in Belize Dollars. The money goes to donations for the Belize Zoo so it's definitely a good cause. And if you go, see if you can spot my name (in the...
Radisson Fort George Hotel And Marina
6 Reviews and 168 Opinions coming...
5 Reviews A little after noon in Belize City we found ourselves near the Great House Hotel which is home of the Smokey Mermaid Restaurant. We thought it looked like a good choice for lunch, and we were not disappointed. The dining area is an open courtyard shaded by a large banyan tree and other tropical...
4 Reviews Our cruise line recommended The Wet Lizard so we trudged up the stairs to order a couple of Belikins and ask for info. We got both from Lauren, the cordial bartender. Later we visited the Liz gift shop at the bottom of the back stairs and picked up cook books and tee shirts for people on our...
Stonegrill Restaurant at Radisson Hotel
2 Reviews (Note: this is NOT the 'Stonegrill Restaurant' as indicated above - I can't get rid of this 'VT' insert even by editing this tip) After our harrowing and hot midday walk in downtown Belize City, as we made our first explorations (see my 'Warnings & Dangers' tip), we were very relieved when our taxi...
1 Review It's just a small place, nothing fancy. You go to the cashier and order your pizza and pay in advance. It takes about 30 minutes for the pizza to be ready. If you want, you could call your order in advance and they deliver as well. I got a pizza with ground steak and mushrooms. Pretty good. The 2nd...
Belize Biltmore Hotel (Best Western)
3 Reviews Last year I went to the Best Westerm Belize Biltmore Hotel with my family by summer, it was our first time on Belize and let me tell you that I will never regret choosing Belize as our vacation destination. It was amazing, the service, the hotel, the beautiful country, the environment, everything in...
1 Review The restaurant is nicely decorated inside with quite a collection of hot sauce bottles. Their menu has so many choices, the thickest menu I've seen in Belize yet. After staying 3 weeks in Belize City, this is my favorite restaurant in the city! We had little pitas for appetizer, similar to garlic...
1 Review Blackbird Caye Resort All meals are excellent. Two entrée dinner choices listed on blackboard- at lunch we mark off our choice of 1 or the combination. The Belizean owner is proud of his cooks and hires the best. We had great spaghetti, lasagna, and roast beef, pork and chicken dishes, rice,...
1 Review I have to admit that this was the only meal I had in Belize, so my viewpoint is slightly tainted, however I can honestly say it rated in my top ten travel restaurants over all. In the restaurant industry, people always say... location, location, location. This place has a monopoly on the cave tubing...
3 Reviews About Belize - it will do for one trip. If it were cheap for what it has to offer, but it is not.... Tickets from the any place (Dallas, Houston, Miami) are over 1K. Hotels in Belize and islands are over $100 /night while rooms and facilities are far from being top notch; Very shabby and worn out......
1 Review The poolside bar at the Radison Fort George could be anywhere, though the thached roof for the bar is a nice touch. None theless there is live music on friday and happy hour deals on drinks and snacks lasts from 6-9 with free chips and salsa. Tere is apparently live music on most weeks but it was...
11 Reviews There are many boats you can rent in Belize. You can either rent them alone or you can share with other passengers for your choice of destination. The boats can take you to Caulker, San Pedro, Chetumal, Mexico. You can see them at the seaport terminal, close to the Terminal Mall. Make sure to...
7 Reviews This is called the San Pedro's Belize Express and you can find the station at the Belize Terminal. It's actually a water taxi. It goes from Belize City to Caulker, San Pedro, Chetumal, Mexico. Here's their daily schedule as of September 2011: Belize City to Caye Caulker & San Pedro: 9:00 am,...
8 Reviews I'll always fly American Airlines, that's unless I don't have another choice. Flying to Belize from NYC was quite easy with American Airlines. They have many flights daily with connections in either Dallas or Miami. We flew from Newark making our connection in Dallas on the outbound, and on our...
3 Reviews Almost 2 weeks later, at the end of our trip, we returned to Belize City for one night. This photo shows the mini-van shuttle that brought us from San Ignacio, 72 miles away on the Guatemala border. We had spent a week there, based at a great lodgings called the Trek Stop, and they had a planned run...
Various gift shops: Collecting refrigerator magnets?
joiwatani Says: I collect refrigerator magnets and that's the first thing I buy whenever I go to a particular destination. I buy at least five and bring them home as gifts, too.You can buy refrigerator magnets at different gift shops. I prefer to buy refrigerator magnets that are made of...
Pack your lunches when you go to Altun Ha
joiwatani Says: There are limited restaurants at the Mayan site so make sure to pack your own sandwiches and drinks. There are stores on site but the prices of the drinks are extremely expensive. You are not buying gold, you are just buying a drink!Bring a backpack to keep your food...
The grocery stores and local stores in Belize
joiwatani Says: I spotted stores where local people go. They go to the Super U grocery store. We were not able to go to their central market because of lack of time. When we did a city tour, I saw a lot of vendors on the streets selling fruits and vegetables.
DSwede Says: Belize is one of only a handful of Latin and South American countries that speak English. Obviously due to proximity of their neighboring nations, Spanish is widely used and understood.This has to do with the historical connections to the British colonization.However, Belize...
