    tour de force of relentless research, timely info & sharp
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 1999*

Hooray!  Belize now has its own Rough Guide.  In the past, Belize has been combined with Guatemala in one edition.  The new Belize edition, by Peter Eltringham (who co-authored the old Guatemala-Belize guide and has a hand  in several other of Rough Guides to Mexico and Central America) is a tour  de force of relentless research, timely info and sharp writing.I want  to try to explain why this is such a good guide.  But first, let's get  something out of the way -- the name.  Many North American reader still  think the Rough Guides, published in London, are for budget travelers.  In  fact, as I understand it, the name Rough is an Anglicism meant to suggest  that it is an approximation, an expected plan, as in a "rough plan."  The  Rough Guides, of which there are now more than a hundred,  are definitely  not just for travelers who are "roughing it."  In fact, they cover all  levels of travel, from budget to upmarket.  A name change awhile back  didn't stick, and the guides now go by the name by which they're known to  experience travelers the world over, Rough Guides.Anyway, back to the  new guide to Belize.  Peter Eltringham first came to Belize with the Royal  Air Force.  He's been just about everywhere in Belize and knows it inside  out.  Turn to any section, and his recommendations on hotels, restaurants  and what to do are almost always spot on.  Although he's generous --  occasionally to a fault -- with hotels he likes, Peter can be blunt:  He's  willing to call a hotel overpriced when it is or to point out the illegal  cutting of mangroves by resort developers.This guide is especially good  on lesser-known destinations such as the southern cayes or Corozal  District.  There's also a helpful section on Tikal and one on the Honduras  Bay Islands, though this latter section was written before Hurricane Mitch  and is therefore nearly useless.  A section called Contexts offers  insightful information on Belize history, music, literature and other  subjects.In short, this is a must-carry for anyone traveling in  Belize.

    Best reasonably current guide to Belize
  

*by C***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2016*

Before a recent trip to Belize, I bought the Rough Guide and the Moon Guide, figuring whatever one book missed, the other would cover.  We ended up taking the Rough Guide with us on our trip and the Moon Guide stayed home.  The Rough Guide isn't as current as the Moon Guide, but it's current enough.  More importantly, the Rough Guide included more useful information, wasn't as editorialized and was better indexed.  If you're going to buy one book and you're new to Belize, then buy this one.  We visited a lot of hidden gems we would have otherwise missed thanks to what was in this book.

    Very Good Guide-Needs Update
  

*by A***0 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2001*

After looking at several other books we chose this one for our 14 day trip in January of 2001.  It was an excellent resource for important info and interesting tid-bits.  It is a little old now and some information is out dated at this point.  It could really use an update.  My husband and I would volunteer to go again!!  We had a great time and higly recomend Belize for the less mainstream traveler.  Go now though, it is definatly changing!  Don't miss Hol Chan marine reserve snorkeling and Placencia village.  Also, we loved Crooked Tree and Tikal.  Have a great time and take this book with you!!!
