Posted on May 13, 2011 Ellyn Zitzelberger says... Fodor does a great job - travel is what they do.This is a great planning resource for anyone thinking of going to Belize - very comprehensive and up to date (2009).Nice summaries of the various regions, and their particular charms, plus the usual resort and activity ratings. Posted on May 13, 2011 Justine Eblin says... Great book!We booked the accomodations through a travel agency but found that they were both Fodor's choice.The resorts were well described, and using their recommendations on where to eat on Ambergris Caye were spot on!The only thing I would have liked would have been more detailed maps of the different areas (Cayes in particular) but that may be out of the scope of this book.Highly recommend! Posted on May 13, 2011 Jessia Rakel says... I have always considered Fodor's travel books to be the best.They covered the highlights of each country in terms of a brief history, what to expect, places to visit, restaurants and where to stay. Their reviews were concise, accurate and covered a range from moderate to expensive.Most refreshing was an absence of the pretentious attitudes that often characterized other guides. (Frommers being the worst offender.) I've visited Belize before, but since it had been a few years, picked up Fodor's Belize 2007 guide. First thing I noticed is it is now one complete book devoted to the country, where in the past it was grouped under the title of "Central America".In this case, more does not translate into better. Much of this book is irrelevant filler. Most disappointing however is that the writers seems to have "phoned it in" while lounging by the resort swimming pool.In short, if you love expensive hotels or trendy restaurants, this is the book for you.If you are interested in visiting more of the real country, try another publication. For example, Dangriga is a fascinating part of Belize, but lacks traditional tourist infrastructure. While it may not be the most popular part of the country for the Fodor writers, I would expect at least an update of hotel descriptions.Sadly, some are easily two years out of date. Yet another example is seen in the coverage afforded to Belmopan, the capitol of the country. Belmopan is also not a major area for tourism, but people do visit. There are some small hotels and B&B's available, nothing fancy, but clean and friendly. Yet the only listings shown in the 2007 Guide are for resorts located many miles away (One suggestion is at least a 45 minute drive from Belmopan.Its a beautiful air-conditioned jungle lodge but so far away, to list it is absurd.)Again, the writers may not like having to stay in a small hotel, but they should at least list them for others who may visit. Not surprisingly, the only place this book excels is when it comes to Ambergris Caye and San Pedro.It does give a very good listing of hotels, restaurants and activities.While the focus is on the more expensive, it does cover a representative range. I hope this guide does not mark a new direction for Fodors.I personally enjoy staying in more upscale accommodations, but would not avoid a section of a country simply because there are no 4-star hotels.A good travel book should give a complete range.I stopped using Frommers because of this arrogance.I hope Fodors is not following in their footsteps.

Posted on May 16, 2011 Zana Berge says... Very good, informative book on Belize!!!I highly recommend this book!I bought this book, and Belize Retirement Guide by the Grays...there is no comparison!!No info in the Gray's book,...and lots of great info in Easy Belize!!! Posted on May 19, 2011 Kenya Rasmusson says... For a used book it was in excellent condition.The content has been very helpful in deciding how to go about planning this trip. Posted on May 20, 2011 Josiah Guiel says... I have used Fodor's guides in the past & would definitely recommend them as they are very useful & give tons of information. The only drawback is the extremely fine print, next time I am going to check to see if they make one in large print. Posted on May 21, 2011 Jamey Vences says... This book answered most of the questions I had prior to taking my trip to Belize.The questions it could not answer were questions that only could be answered in specific situations by actually being there.For an in depth look at Belize and how to prepare for your trip, it is an excellent guide book.
