Marty, thanks for that hint. Of course it works. Will make finding past info much easier for me. Again, thanks.

Patrick,
Since you've got that "wolverine" thing goin for you, I'll throw in...#2 and #4 (I prefer #4)will have you headed in the right direction. I'm not trying to be mean spirited but avoid #5 for sure. Be a little easier to be more candid if I had your e-mail address. Failing that, read the first sentence.

Since your on a fact finding mission, I'd stay at the Hideaway Hotel. Its owned by five Texas women and there are long term guest there, that are anxious to talk Belize, to someone new. Those other Hotels are for vacations. Ya need ta get with some Ex-Pats and locals to learn if ya like Belize. The accomadations are not luxurious, although they have a nice swimming pool and the best Chili in Belize. They also make a great Chicken Fried Steak with white gravy and mash-potatoes. Locals stop by for meals all day. Generally a nice mix of people. The location is great for your purposes. Its also reasonably priced so you can stay longer. I think they even have monthly rates. Many options in accomadations. They must have about 6 or so different rates/accomadations. Good Luck.

janeinPA....As you can see from the time of this post...I took your advice and went back to read members' answers about where to stay. The propblem is....they ALL look great!!Now what?? I guess I'll just pack light and stay one nite at each of my favorites[JT]
Are there any balconies w/ chairs at Sunbreeze?
Has anyone stayed in the rooms w/ Jacuzzis?Worth the extra price?
Can you rent fishing poles for fishing off the piers anywhere? And what do you use for bait..live or artificial?
Can you drink the local water?

ChooChoo,

My e-mail address is [email protected]. I can handle candid comments.

Orion.....Bill has a good thought. He must be eating his carbs now....LOL
Anyway....you will get more info by staying at the hideaway. I would also recommend Lily's....it's a homey little place...and does have a fridge in the room and A/C for about $45 US a night. My office is just around the corner....maybe 100 steps or less. If you want to go fishing....my hubby has a coupe rods & reels....he would be glad to take you! Oh yea.......Lily's has balconies too with tables and chairs and adirondack chairs so you can sit outside and sip your Belikins while you watch the sun go down. They also have a restaurant....has great breakfast! Centrally located on the beachfront!

Yup, the waters safe to drink. Tastes like crap though, and if you a some whites that need washing you won't need any bleach. (True) Sunbreze is a very popular place for both "newbies" and some long timers. They have some rooms with whirlpool tubs (BeerBudget and hubby had one). The Texas gals at the Hideaway are a hoot, but oh my goodness what a project. We heard stories that would make "Don't Stop the Carnival" blush. Bill left out the fact that they also have real live bisquits and gravy. Friendly bar too, although Sandshaker has at least once referred to the clientele as local lay-abouts, or something of the ilk. I resemble that!

Sunbreeze has verandas outside your room, with strait back chairs, which was fine for me. Then the deck around the pool has nice loungers, for your comfort, and hammocks on the second floor over the bar, for gazing at the sea.

ChooChoo....Don't think that was me...but at any rate....that's the best kind....right?

SandShaker;
I never forget when someone adequately defines me. Lazing at the Hideaway can be a VERY taxing pasttime. Specifically, I have to keep an eye peeled on the street so that if a responsible member of the community (which would be just about anyone else) peeks in I can deftly move into the shadows thereby maintaining my spotless reputation.

Have you had a chance to check on Jesse yet?
