r/Belize

We are 2 couples in our 50s-70s. Looking for very upscale. Good food. Which of these are best? Looking at Victoria House. Thoughts? We like nice restaurants, nice pools. Thanks!

Does anyone have a recipe for Belizean powder buns? A family friend used to make them and I moved away a few years ago and have been craving them. They said it was a family recipe and will not share… which fair lol. Does anyone know how I could make some or a recipe they are willing to share?

I’m trying to decide whether we should stay 5 nights or 6 nights. We’re not interested in snorkeling, so we’re planning to stay in the San Ignacio area for the entire trip instead of splitting our time between San Ignacio and one of the beach towns.

Our must dos are ATM Cave, cave tubing and zip lining, the Belize Zoo, and a chocolate making experience. We’d also like to spend some time exploring San Ignacio, but we really don’t want this to be a vacation where we’re rushing from one activity to the next. One of the things we’re most looking forward to is actually enjoying our lodge, relaxing by the pool, sitting on the balcony, and just soaking in the surroundings.

What would you recommend? Are there any experiences in the San Ignacio area that you think are worth adding or skipping?

Landing in Ambergris Caye the evening of July 11 staying until the 18th. The current forecast shows rain for the whole trip. We’ve been to Cozumel, Cancun, Yucatán, and Roatan in the past so I know rain in that area means “rain for 10-30 minutes”. Is that realistic for July in Ambergris Caye as well?

I am planning a trip to Belize in late September for my honeymoon. I have a few things already planned and a few gaps to fill in. I’d love to hear your feedback on my itinerary draft!

Phase 1 - San Ignacio

• Day 1 - Will arrive late afternoon and plan for a relaxed evening, maybe head into town for dinner
• Day 2 - Xunantunich in the morning (taxi from hotel & hire guide upon arrival), considering Cahal Pech, Barton Creek Cave Canoe Tour, Rio On Pools, and/or Big Rock Falls in the afternoon 
• Day 3 - ATM Cave Tour (with MayaWalk)
• Day 4 - chill hotel day? Maybe one of the activity options from Day 2? Botanic Gardens?

Phase 2 - Placencia

• Day 5 - Travel the ~3 hours to Placencia
• Day 6-8 - hoping to book a fishing/snorkeling tour one of the days. Otherwise, looking to leave our itinerary super loose and enjoy the hotel pool, beach, and village
• Day 9 - Return home

I appreciate your feedback!

Hi--my wife and a couple we are friends with want to visit Belize next January. We are in our 60's and want a really luxurious resort--nice rooms, nice pools (preferably more than one, with an adult pool), good food, and hopefully with other dining options. Price is secondary. Also, as quiet as possible :)

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi all! Looking for the cheapest/ easiest way to transfer about 2k usd a month to a Belizean from the USA. The money doesn’t have to remain in USD btw, it can be converted to belizean dollars.

Edit:

1. must be sent from the USA. I am not in Belize.
2. must be an app or a company or a service. Not looking to do through a money broker.

So far looked at western union and zoom. But the fees are high!

Looking to use either a debit, credit card, or send from my Bank of America account.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all! Me and my fiancé have loved Belize with our first leg in Caye Caulker and now spending some time in San Ignacio. We are delicately balancing making the most of our experience while also keeping the cost as low as possible to spend as much time here as we can.

We are looking for some cheap/inexpensive events or sights to partake in around the city. We’ve spent lots of time in the market and chatting with locals as well as the delicious street food. Xunantuninch was gorgeous but that’s about as high of an admission cost as we’re looking for (Even that fee caught us a bit off guard, though so worth it) Please give your recommendations! Thank you we love you Belize♥️🇧🇿

TLDR; Cheap activities for backpackers

Hello all, how are you all?

I'm looking to try recipes from all over the world and I want to get recipes directly from the source, so why not ask here right?

I'm interested in food recipes, drink recipes, your grandparents recipes, anything you guys got! I've found a few recipes from just simply "googling it", but I'm not sure on how to verify the authenticity of some of these recipes.

If you guys have any recipes that you personally know for food or drinks or know a verifiable source that you can link or mention that has true Belizean recipes, it is very much appreciated! I can't wait to try them!

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, I understand I may be asking a bit much, but why, maybe there's someone who can help me or penpal me to someone who can help me etc etc. again, thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you even more to anyone who is willing to help me find recipes or knows recipes that they link or comment.

I hope you all have a great day today.

I'm traveling to Belize in two days and I love howler monkeys. Aside from the zoo, where are the best places to go to spot them?

Looking for recommendations for a lawyer or professional in Belize who can assist with converting leasehold land to Land Title

Looking for some place I can fish from the bank with a friend in the city and have a decent shot at catching something. Preferably somewhere without too many people but that's not a must.

I'd rather it be within Belize city or within a few miles drive.

Thank you.
