Open Road's Belize Guide

Über

South of Mexico, east of Guatemala, with 200 miles of undisturbed Caribbean beach, Belize has coral atolls and a splendid barrier reef, lush rain forests with Mayan temples, scores of cays, and a diverse, multilingual, friendly population. It's a shame how rarely Belize makes the spring break/winter vacation list, but that means tourism hasn't yet left its tacky imprint on the people or the reefs. Paul Glassman's Belize Guide is an excellent escort to the country's culture, activities, hotels, restaurants, and charms. He is knowledgeable about wildlife, plants, Mayan ruins, dive sites, and palm trees swaying in tropical breezes--all you need to do is book a flight.
