I have seen the Palapa Bar mention on a couple of posts..would it just be a place for afternoon drinking?

h20lover, if you're staying north or plan to be north, yes, otherwise, BC's and Crazy Canucks are good, closer in town.

Blue Water is goooooooood! Try their "Horny Monkey" drink -yum! However, if you drink too many, you could end up in the pool with all your clothes on, swimming with other tourists... wait, have I done that?!

Thanks travelqueen...I think I may have done that also. We are staying at Mata Rock, but walking (maybe not so straight) a mile or two is no big thing for us. Last trip I never left town as we stayed at the Holiday...so I am planning on going North this trip.

Hi, we found a great place and it may have been Hamiltons but my memory is clouded by a stop at the bar by the ferry (The hammock bar?). Very friendly place. Anyway, on the way to Captain Morgans on the main freeway, it was on the right (just past the 3rd Iguana). It looked like a house but upstairs was this resturaunt which was great. Really enjoyed it and am looking forward to another visit very soon. I am sure someone can confirm if this was Hamiltons or if I just dreamed it.

Oh, I found a photo of the view from the resturaunt I mentioned - with other Belize pics at http://www.angrypig.com/belize/resturant.jpg

Sounds like it but can't tell from the picture.

h20lover, go out with Tulu for a snorkel/fish/beach BBQ. He's one of the BEST guides on the island and it will be a day you (and your taste buds) will never forget!

Govikes, how do find Tulu, where is he located. This sounds fantastic. Will be there in December would like to set something up.

lol. swimming with your clothes on is ALWAYS FUN at Blue Water.

Blue water is NOT overpriced for several things...their pizzas are $13 us and HUGE, for 3 people. excellent Pesto Chicken PIzza and awesome snook, very fair price.

I would recommend taking Victoria house out of your list (from my experience and tourists who have commented) and going to REEF rest. El Divinos is overpriced for food similar to what you can get at home.

Just wanted to comment on this thread, just ate at Blue Water tonight.

Tried the spicy mussels, they were excellent! 10 mussels, very filling with yummy carrot stuff on side for $14 BZ and I am very full from it, great deal, great meal.
