hhays - your best bet would be to use the search function. We've not stayed there simply because it's a little out of town; great if you prefer that tho. It's a beautiful place and the food is very good. The accomodations are higher-end. Enjoy your trip - Belize is a beautiful country and the people are super!
It's never too late to have a happy childhood!

no tv's in the room, and no computer access in the room. belize isnt that kind of place...you'll understand when you get here. there arent any tourist traps here....belize is different than anywhere you've been Victoria house is STUNNING. it is very clean, very well cared for, and it is about 2.5 miles or so outside of town. You will either walk the beach, ride one of their bikes they'll let you use, or call a cab. a cab will cost you about $15 to $20 belize one way, which is $7.50 to $10 one way. If you are only going to be here 4 nights, being that far out of town really wont be a big deal for you.
We dont drink the water from the tap here...well, not a lot if you can help it, but i'm pretty sure they make sure there is a gallon of spring water in the fridge.
seriously, do victoria house. it sounds like its exactly what you would be looking for.

Victoria House is absolutely beautiful and has all you are looking for. That said, it is on the expensive side and too far from town for my tastes. My personal preference has always been Banana Beach, but it may not have the "finish" you are looking for. The Palms is much closer to town and the two bedroom units are very nicely furnished and include a kitchen. They are on the beach, have a beautiful pool and are close to many restaurants.
If your travel agent isn't being helpful, ditch 'em! I don't use travel agents, but heartily second the recommendation of Barbara from Barb's Belize, based on all the information I've seen her share here on the board. She is by far one of the most helpful and knowledgable people I've encountered here.
Belize is NOT Mexico, and you will find several differences, some I would imagine you will like and some you probably won't. Stil, one of the best parts of vacation is having new experiences - go and enjoy!
