2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected from a "Hidden" book
We had a fabulous time on the French Polynesian islands with "Hidden Tahiti". That book took us to out-of-the-way natural beauties, great local-style restaurants and shops, etc. So, when we were set to travel to Belize, we expected more of the same.

Hidden Belize was NOT the same. We found nothing hidden in the book that wasn't over-publicized by local tour...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected from a "Hidden" book, December 3, 2001
This review is from: Hidden Belize 2 Ed: Including Tikal, Copan and the Cayes (Paperback)
We had a fabulous time on the French Polynesian islands with "Hidden Tahiti". That book took us to out-of-the-way natural beauties, great local-style restaurants and shops, etc. So, when we were set to travel to Belize, we expected more of the same.

Hidden Belize was NOT the same. We found nothing hidden in the book that wasn't over-publicized by local tour agencies, hotels, etc. The great little local-cuisine restaurants of the Tahiti book instead was replaced with all the expensive restaurants catering to wealthy US citizens wanting gourmet dinners. We found great local establishments featuring great local cuisine and culture all on our own. We actually used the recommendations of this book as places to stay away from.

The one redeeming feature of this book was a good overview of the geography of the different areas of the country.

So, as I said, my wife and I like to experience a lot of local flavor on our trips, and this book showed us none of that.
