When to go
Situated in the Caribbean along the eastern coast of Central America, Belize is the perfect hot spot for a fun vacation featuring either sun-drenched beaches on the small islands just off the coast or a tropical rainforest adventure deep inland. Regardless of which you choose, do a bit of research on the different travel websites. These sites will generally offer some of the best vacation deals for your trip to Belize.
The very best time to travel to Belize is during the months of March through May. The weather is constantly sunny and will allow you to make sure your vacation plans aren't drenched with “northers” that generally hit the cayes and coast from June to mid-November. Keep in mind that it is harder to find good travel discounts during these months.
How to get there
The only international airport in Belize is located about 30 minutes from the center of Belize City. Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) is the largest in the country receives flights from most of the international airlines. Cheap airline tickets are generally easiest to find during the rainy periods beginning in June. Airline ticket prices during this time are usually low and car deals can be found at the local rental shops.
Where to stay
Finding cheap hotel rooms in Belize is as easy as you want it to be. One of the best hotel deals in the country is Table Rock Jungle Lodge, San Ignacio Town, Cayo District, where you can find rooms for as low as $30 per night. The Inn at Roberts Grove, Placencia, Belize, is a moderately priced hotel that provides beautifully appointed accommodations along the gorgeous beaches of Belize. Of course, if money is no object, Cayo Espanto is an island resort just off the coast of Belize proper. On this island you are pampered by the entire staff and never have to worry about anything. Of course, with prices ranging from just over $1000 per night to $14,000 per night, you shouldn't have to worry.
Where to eat
Belize has much to offer when it comes to cuisine. Sanny's Grill (Benque Viejo Road) offers savory dishes with enough spice to liven up any dinner. Sanny's features native Belize dishes that include lime rhyme red snapper and champagne shrimp. Pollito Dorado (8 Hudson Street) specializes in surf and turf style dishes as well as Central American delicacies, which can also be carried out as a sack lunch for those who are on the go. For those who cant live without something French, La Vie En Rose (Green Heaven Lodge, 70 1/2 Western Highway) offers standard specialties such as Boeuf Bourguignon and Filet Mignon, all of which are served either inside the restaurant or around the pool.
