5.0 out of 5 stars The "Belize Bible" is a Better Title, November 11, 2007
By A. L. Hunt "Catahoulagirl" (Pacific Northwest, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this book on a reccomendation from the Toucan Trail, A budget traveler's online guide to Belize. I have to say that this is the most comprehensive guide for vacationers that I have ever seen. I had to wait a while for the most receent edition, but it was worth it. Topics that hadn't even occured to me to research are included here (thank gawd!). The book even covers traveling into Guatemala to vist the ruins at Tikal. If you only buy one guide for your trip to Belize, this should be the one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing & Inaccurate Hotel Descriptions, July 28, 2007
By Andrew W. (Evergreen, CO) - See all my reviews
This is my first time purchasing a "rough guide" book. Our travel group had several different books and was consistently disappointed by the inaccurate descriptions of hotels. For instance, one hotel was located RIGHT on the airport runway at one of the islands - without mention from the book. The location of hotels and destinations near those hotels was also WAY off - specifically in San Pedro. Luckily, we had two other guide books to reference.

I judged the book by it's cover and pictures and regret it. I will not use this book series again.

5.0 out of 5 stars very handy, April 10, 2007
By K. Muldoon (Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this book did cover low bidget places and was very handy. it also covered more upscale loactions but did indicate that quite well. (we visited Belize 10/06). the prices were pretty accurate and the reviews as well.
one of our favorite places in san pedro was a 'hole in the wall' almost literally that this book recomended. it cost about $1 american for 2 of us to have breafast (home made belizian style breakfast tacos) and we would get a slice of homemade cake to take with us for lunch. we also stayed at rubies and breakfasted there often. rubies was definetly the best stay for the money.

we also used this book in san ignacio and found it extremely helpful and again in belize city (belmead i think). it told us everything we needed to know.

i higly recomend this book for any savy low budget traveler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book came out in Oct 2007, half these reviews (specifically the bad ones) were written before that!
Just wanted to point that out! Obviously the reviews must be talking about previous editions. The maps, locations and reviews are accurate in this edition.
