Belize was OK, not great, of all the trips I have taken, it is my least favorite so far but not because of the hotel or dive operation. I had all kinds of issues from getting sick to broken equipment.

We saw a lot of sharks and pretty reefs but there was not that many fish except the preserve which was gorgeous. Seas were somewhat rough and we had a lot of changes in dive schedule but we got our dives in. The hotel was nice and they kept it in great shape inside. The staff was really nice and helpful. The gentleman running the restaurant was awesome, he treated us to wonderful food, waiting for us after the night dive, and always looking for a menu to keep us full and happy. He included an alcoholic drink with dinner, we ate lobster almost everyday.

The dive shop was amazing, they picked us and dropped us off at the hotel dock. They took care of washing our BCD and regulator every day including the last day of diving. They set the gear every time, all we had to do was check it was correct. They even remove your fins in the water while we are waiting at the rope. They went out of their way to accommodate us even with the unpredictable weather. We came to the dock after the first dive so they could set up for the next and eat fruit and hydrate.

There are restaurants, ice cream shops, groceries stores, fruit stands, pharmacies every where. We never went hungry. The taxis are golf carts. The pollution on the streets is very high so if you have allergies try to avoid it by walking on the ‘beach’.
