Planning a quick visit to AC on 2-6 Jan. Want to do it on the cheap after the holidays. Need a little break from the hustle and bustle. Looking forward to belikan, conch fritters, and diving. Considering a stay at Rubies, Hideaway sports lodge, the Conch Shell, or Marthas hotel. Anyone have experience, recommendations, or preference of these choices. Or any other ideas. My girlfriend says cheap is okay as long as it is not scary, dirty, or have crawly things that might climb into ones ears at night!!! j&a.

Sounds like to me you already know where to go... and what to do. Tell your girlfriend she can be happy and feel safe anyways...anywheres....

Thanks Grace. Do you know anything about taking the ferry over from Belize City? How much? Where? Schedule, etc? Is it reliable and much cheaper than flying? j&a

Take a flight...it's a whole lot faster and easier...after that, you can change your mind.

Thanks again Grace. We will fly over. Hope the weather turns sunny. Seems AC has been getting a few showers this week. j&a

all those are great choices. you got it goin on alright.

Once I stayed at a five star, high class hotel in Cozumel and a spider crawled into bed with me and bit me about a dozen times from my ear and down my neck. I don't know what's up with those creepy crawlie creatures. One would think they'd know to stay out of the high dollar resorts.

I stayed at Ruby's and didn't see any bugs, but I'm sure all those places are great. Get an oceanfront room if you can, it will be quieter. I hope you have a wonderful time!

J&A,

Please share your experience on your return...SO Valuable to those of us still in the planning next trip phase. WHEN do you return??

HAVE FUN!!!
