Hi all,
I've been lurking here for a few days and decided to jump in (you seem like a friendly AND patient group... smile ). After years of enjoying Cozumel I feel the need to try something new, so we're eyeballing Belize for June. We are looking for a laid back pace, sleepy but not asleep if you get my drift, no crowds, good-great snorkeling (preferably at the hotel or immediate area), good food, etc. I dive, but am pretty spoilt by having the dive sites 30 minutes from the hotel in Cozumel, so depending on the ease/accessibility, I would probably be content to snorkel.
Many have recommended Ambergris Caye, some have recommended Caye Calker and yesterday I heard for the first time about Placencia. Needless to say, I am experiencing a bit of sensory overload reading about the pros/cons, ins/outs, of these various locations. confused
Help? Would love to hear your recommendations for a first-timer! Much thanks...
