Sandwiched between the Central American jungles and the Caribbean coast, Belize is a country packed with history, culture and adventure. Most visitors head straight for Belize City, the nation’s capital and gateway to the many low-lying islands that form the Belize Barrier Reef. This reef is the second largest in the world, with over 100 types of coral and five times as many species of fish for snorkellers and scuba divers to feast their eyes upon. Join a snorkelling tour for the afternoon, or brave the biggest – and deepest – attraction of all and go diving in the Blue Hole, a giant underwater sinkhole home to an abundance of marine life. You may want to experience the famous nightlife of Caye Caulker before you leave, but don’t miss your chance to explore the lush forests found inland. An afternoon’s trekking could lead to face-to-face encounters with spider monkeys, wild cats, green iguanas and the bright keel-billed toucan, Belize’s national bird. Venture deeper into the national parks to find some of the oldest Mayan ruins in the Americas. Head into the central, forest-thick Cayo District where you’ll find crumbling temples like Xunantunich, along with eerie burial sites like Actun Tunuchil Muknal. Accommodation options range from luxury hotels on the most developed islands like San Pedro, to budget-friendly hostels and guesthouses found across the country.

Guest review
I had an amazing stay in one of the recently built casitas. Masterfully crafted out of wood, top quality finishes with furniture, bedding, towels. There was lots of space inside (I practise yoga with 2 mats); I ran each morning & showered outdoors overlooking the lily pond. Bed was comfortable, shower hot, & quite novel, lighting up red & green to indicate the temperature of the water. The trolley tour around the source farm is fascinating (even at the end of the dry season). I was very taken care of by the owner Dr Mathews, Antonio & Mags. They were very accommodating for my food needs & adapted breakfast for me. Over 5 weeks of driving around Belize, staying in 9 different accommodations, this was the most special. The dry season was broken whilst I was here so I experienced a spectacular lightening show, and over the next 2 days the incredible flowering & fragrance blooming around the gardens. Do not miss on you journey in south Belize.

Providing free WiFi, Louis' Apartments is set in Placencia Village. Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has city views, and guests can enjoy access to a terrace.
Guest review
My stay at Louis Apartment was an exceptional experience. The apartment was spotlessly clean, making it feel fresh and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The space was both spacious and luxurious, designed with thoughtful attention to detail that elevated every aspect of my stay. From the modern electric stove with proper ventilation to the TVs in both the living room and bedroom, which allowed streaming and casting on various platforms, the amenities were top-notch. The bathroom was another standout feature, with its beautifully modern, nature-inspired aesthetic and perfect lighting that added to its earthy vibe. The furniture was incredibly soft and comfortable, creating an inviting space to relax after long days. The location was also a major plus, situated in the heart of the village with easy access to dining options, supermarkets, entertainment spots, and gift shops. Security was exceptional, with multiple measures in place, including secure locks and cameras, ensuring I felt completely safe throughout my stay. Additionally, the host was extremely communicative and receptive, addressing any questions or concerns promptly and making me feel well cared for.

It is a great little hotel at the central spot in Placencia. Easy access to the Cayes, with many scuba and snorkeling trips available in the town. The barrier reef is beyond belief if you do scuba.

Located in Placencia Village, a few steps from Seine Bight Beach, Villas at Playa de Coco provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.
Guest review
We LOVED our 4 nights at playa de coco, all fantastic. We had a majesty suite which was HUGE and had a massive private terrace. The suite is one of 4 rooms that shares a private pool (and self catering facilities, including a washing machine which was useful). The view from the room and terrace were picture perfect. Beach was kept immaculate (raked each day), loungers under cabanas, had it pretty much to ourselves, and has a lovely deck into the water. Free kayaks and paddleboards. We went for a kayak and were joined by a pair of manatees swimming along with us; really magical.
All staff; managers; restaurant and housekeeping were fantastically friendly and helpful. We met the owner too, lovely and interesting guy.
Restaurant is on the roof terrace for more of the same great view …
Room was quiet and bed was very comfy. The suite had a dressing room, little bunk room, enormous shower / bathroom plus an outdoor shower area, (and coffee machine 😊) .
Running out of superlatives here .. 😂 the best bit is we’re going back next week!

Lovely room with great facilities, and community sitting area with kitchen, in bird, iguana, butterfly and of course horse filled gardens. Natalie was a wonderful host, helping with anything.
It is on the edge of town, so we made good use of the bicycles she lends guests for free.
