Going to belize at the end of september. American Advantage business cards have a deal for 22,500 miles round trip to Belize Sept 7-30.

What do you guys recommend seeing while there?

If you're going to Belize City I can recommend a few things:

1) Go cave tubing. You hike through the jungle and ride inner-tubes through a cave/river system. You also get a nice bus ride to the cave through the city and into the jungle with a very knowledgable and english speaking guide. Oh, and it includes an authentic Belizian lunch (chicken, rice, beans, etc). The food wasn't that good, but the cave tubing and the "guided bus tour" were great!

2) Go snorkeling or scuba diving (if certified) on the barrier reef. I think it's the 2nd largest barrier reef (2nd to the Great Barrier Reef).

3) Eat lobster! Belize is one of the largest exporters of lobster in the world (at least according to the bus tour guide).

4) Take a jungle tour and go to the Puma reserve. I can't speak for either as I haven't done them, but they sound like good ideas!

Also be wary of hurricanes. I think you'll be there during the tail end of the hurricane season.

I think there are some very good Mayan sites in Belize.

traveling out to any of the caye islands is wonderful for snorkeling. i spent a week at long caye using slickrock adventures which was paradise, but i've heard good things about ambergris and tobacco caye as well. also had a great diving experience at the blue hole.

placencia down south on the coast was a lovely setting. i found some guest house on the beach (kitty's place, if i recall) which was nice.

and of course, mayan ruins abound. close in to belize city is a place called lamanai, which is an easy half day visit. more interesting ruins lie deeper into the interior of the country.

in belize city i stayed at the glenthorn manor guest house, which was a bargain and incredibly comfortable. i highly recommend it (though i had the whole top floor to myself, so perhaps that made a difference). i know we're all about points on this forum, but please don't wither away in the belize radisson.

i believe marva's was the name of the joint in the capital where i found the belizean food to be pretty good.

I'd recommend that you go to San Pedro, and island about 20 minutes flight from Belize City. It's very quiet, and only about a mile from the reef. Although there is a nice beach, you can't really swim in the water since it is inside the reef and full of weeds. But you can take quick boat trips out to the reef for fabulous snorkeing and diving.

If you want quiet, San Pedro is the perfect destination. And if you are lucky, you can get one of the world's rarest flights - a 20 minute commecial flight with a stopover!
