This was a good choice for a first experience to Belize City. You'll need a rental car, but there's a friendly, reputable, and very economical rental lot literally next door. We rented a 4 door sedan for US $200 for five days. BTW, if you head into Belize City, there's abundant free parking outside the Radisson hotel, along the sea wall. We parked there every day, and never had reason to be concerned about the car while we were away. It's about 3 or 4 blocks from the Sea Taxis. If we return to Belize City, we'll likely stay on one of the islands (San Pedro or Caulker), but had we done so this time, we may not have taken the time to drive out to BananaBank for a fabulous horse ride through the jungle.
