My friend and I just returned from a fantastic trip to Belize, which included some time in the Cayo District (western part of the country--a must) and in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. We read all of the good reviews for this place and figured we had to try it--we were not disappointed. If you are the kind of traveller who needs luxury pamering, this is not the place for you, but if you are a go with the flow kind of traveler who is fine with comfortable accommodations and yummy breakfasts (beg for the French toast), you will not be disppointed. And the service that the owners/hosts (Cindy and Renita) provide is phenominal. They are really nice and know EVERYONE on the island and can make your stay a much more rewarding experience (which tour guides are the best, restaurants to try, places to shop for certain items, etc. etc.). Bikes are available for free use, as are beach towels, and they do tihngs that go above and beyond (like mailing your postcards that you forgot to do before heading to the airport, or loaning you a beach bag during your stay). While you are in San Pedro, do not miss the Mayan fish at Elvi's--my taste buds didn't know what to do.
As a side note, I strongly recommend to active travelers to not miss caving in the Actun Tunichil Muknal in the Cayo District. Do some research on it beforehand to see if it's something that would be up your alley--it is a once in a lifetime experience. And if you are an animal lover, don't miss the Belize Zoo on the mainland. Get in touch with Sharon, the zoo director, and for a small donation to the zoo ($50US) we were able to get in a cage w/ Sharon and pet a jaguar (who was on the outside of the cage) and also had it lick our faces. The zoo has been a labor of love for Sharon and her team, who does an amazing amount of conservation education and does not get one cent from the Belizean government. Any donation you give will be put to good use. If you want some history on the zoo before heading down there, read *The Last Macaw,* which just came out and gives a history of how the zoo got started and the politics of animal preservation in Belize.
