I enjoyed my time in Belize, generally, but I am covered with bug bites head to toe even though I used some sprays. Be sure to bring the right bug repellent. We didn't even go to the ruins, just in the town and on the beach. I think Belize is more for the adventurous type people, fisherman, scuba divers, then it is for the general middle age tourist. Personally I wouldn't go back. Too hard to get there and to get around, but again, I am more into the beaches and easy snorkeling then the other stuff. Make sure you have a flashlight as well. The people there were all very nice. Especially in the restaurants and bars. we met some nice people there as well. be prepared though, the Town is very poor, dusty and the little kids will make you cry because you feel bad for them.

Where did you stay Janet?
A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?

Janeto, you went to Ambergris Caye, a large island off the coast of Belize, yet a part of Belize. Belize is a country, mostly mainland with many cayes. Mainland is totally different than Ambergris Caye. I had a perfect visual of the caye before I went, due to this forum, I knew what to expect. So sorry you were not happy with that part of the country. We learn from experiences

Janeto, you can say been there done that, and did not buy the T shirt. Ambergris is not for everyone.
10 gals in your group had to be trying also.

Well at least it wasn't a bust and you generally enjoyed it! Sounds like our first trip to Belize mainland. Sorry to hear about the bug bites, that could make any trip a downer! They spray for skeeters in town but that's about it. On our trips we cover us in deet before goin anywhere. (yep, it's a risk with deet, but I hate bites) Even during the day ya can get bit when the wind stops or is blocked. (YES, there are daytime skeeters  ) Any favorite memory?
