 very handy April 10, 2007
K. Muldoon (Virginia)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this book did cover low bidget places and was very handy. it also covered more upscale loactions but did indicate that quite well. (we visited Belize 10/06). the prices were pretty accurate and the reviews as well.
one of our favorite places in san pedro was a 'hole in the wall' almost literally that this book recomended. it cost about $1 american for 2 of us to have breafast (home made belizian style breakfast tacos) and we would get a slice of homemade cake to take with us for lunch. we also stayed at rubies and breakfasted there often. rubies was definetly the best stay for the money.
we also used this book in san ignacio and found it extremely helpful and again in belize city (belmead i think). it told us everything we needed to know.
i higly recomend this book for any savy low budget traveler.
 Disappointing & Inaccurate Hotel Descriptions July 28, 2007
Andrew W. (Evergreen, CO)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my first time purchasing a "rough guide" book. Our travel group had several different books and was consistently disappointed by the inaccurate descriptions of hotels. For instance, one hotel was located RIGHT on the airport runway at one of the islands - without mention from the book. The location of hotels and destinations near those hotels was also WAY off - specifically in San Pedro. Luckily, we had two other guide books to reference.
I judged the book by it's cover and pictures and regret it. I will not use this book series again.
Okay but outdated April 6, 2007

We took a trip to Belize at the end of '05/beg of '06. The info in this book was a little outdated and not very useful. Save yourself the trouble and buy the Lonely Planet, that's the only book you need.
