The official language of Belize is English, and this beautiful country in South America has everything you could ever wish for in a luxury holiday. Stay in a tropical rainforest setting or choose a beautiful beach front resort. There is something for everyone, and there has never been a better time to pack your bags and head to the jungle.
Kanatik Reef and Jungle ResortThis
Caye Caulker is an island off the coast of Belize, popular among backpackers and budget travelers because of the relatively low prices , laid-back atmosphere and abundance of bars. There aren’t any proper beaches but you can put a plastic chair on any dock and soak up the sun. The only three roads in the city are all sandy so relay on your feet for getting between places or shall I say between the hotel and the bar?
Belize City
Belize City is the largest city in Belize and the transportation hub of the country. No matter where you want to travel to, you’ll have to leave from or connect in Belize City.
Ambergris Caye is the largest of several hundred islands located north of Belize. It is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Belize. The lack of high rise hotels and public transportation gives the island a laid back, relaxing feel.
Quick summary
It’s much cheaper
Belize City is the largest city in Belize and also the transportation hub of the country. It is home to the only international airport in Belize.
Tikal is a large archeological site in Guatemala. During the Classical Period it was one of the most important Mayan cities. Today, it is one of the most fascinating Mayan sites to visit mostly due to its remoteness and jungle setting. And there are still uncovering works going one so if you

Belize videos that will help you get a sense of the place
If you’ve yet to come to Belize for the first time, this whole country probably sounds rather mysterious. It’s an odd combination of Caribbean influences that are quite unlike most of the rest of Central America and Mexico, with a pace of life that is so relaxed at times that it can make a wheat [Read more]
Summer in Belize
Just like virtually the entire Central American and Caribbean regions, summer is actually the off-season in Belize. Since the weather ranges from warm to even warmer all year, most people think of this country as a place to go to get out of the cold rather than a year-round resort area. It’s true that the [Read more]
Birdwatching on Ambergris Caye – The People Perch at the Caribbean Villas
Birdwatching, and the more intense version that is often called “birding”, are very popular throughout Belize. The jungle areas of the interior have far more to offer most people who are serious about birding, but that doesn’t mean you can’t experience some of this nature-loving activity on Ambergris Caye. About three-quarters of a mile south [Read more]
Cheap Caye Caulker hotels – Ignacio’s Beach Cabins
Since most of the more expensive hotels in Belize have their own website and are easy to book online, but most of the cheaper ones aren’t, I occasionally like to spotlight some of the cheaper places to help budget travelers out a bit. Ignacio’s Beach Cabins is an old school hotel with shockingly low prices, [Read more]
Golf Carts on the Belize Islands
If you’ve yet to make your first trip to one of the main tourist islands off Belize, this might be a little hard to picture, but on Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, there are very few paved streets, and golf carts rule the road. It’s more true on the much-smaller Caye Caulker, but in both [Read more]
Museum of Belize – a former prison that has turned its life around
Visiting a stuffy museum isn’t near the top of most people’s lists when they come to a country like Belize, but there is an interesting spot in Belize City that should be of interest to culture vultures or visitors who care a bit about their host country, even for only an hour or two. One [Read more]
Belize real estate – list and browse ads for free
Let’s face it, Belize fans, this is just one of those kinds of places. Nearly everyone who comes to this country daydreams about owning, or at least renting, a house here. The gorgeous scenery, simple lifestyle, great weather, and friendly people make it very tempting for people even on modest budgets. So far the prices [Read more]
Cayo Espanto – Belize’s most expensive resort
People who’ve visited other Caribbean resort destinations before are often surprised at how affordable resorts in Belize can be in comparison. You might be able to add the super-rich to that group because according to a 2006 CDNN article on the World’s 10 Most Expensive Resorts, the Cayo Espanto private island/resort only ranks 9th on [Read more]
Tropical Wings Nature Center and the Trek Stop cabins
Many of us automatically think of the beach when we think of Belize, which is a bit ironic since the country isn’t really known for great beaches outside of the Placencia Peninsula. But lets head inland now for a visit to the Tropical Wings Nature Center near San Ignacio. UPDATE: For a first-hand recommendation from [Read more]
