Belize Trip Review: Belmopan, Bocotora, Markets, Temples, Hiking, Cave Tubing, One-Week Tour

Our overall impression and experience was very positive especially for the resort in Belmopan. The room was very comfortable the views were excellent. the service was very helpful. In hindsight we wish we had not paid for the meals it would have been economical for us.
The issue we had for the first day excursion, we were supposed to go on to market and so on in the morning but they changed to afternoon because of group of seven women also had signed up for the same excursion but they had another excursion in the morning. They were very late so they took us to market ourselves then the driver got a call to pickup the other group. so the driver left us at the souvenir market we had to sit there for almost two hours waiting for driver to come back then the ladies wanted to go grocery shopping so much time wasted that we
missed the chocolate tour because they were closed for the tour. We were very upset. and we complained to Byron and he was very nice, apologized  and promised to do whatever he could.
the next day to the Mayan Xunantunich temples was an excellent, very knowledgeable guide, the green Iguana project was also a good experience . the following day guided nature hike was a very good learning experience with very good guide.
The management adjusted the final bill to compensate for our troubles. It was OK. None the less that experience was not enjoyable.
The Bocotora location is beautiful. The room was nice  not quite facing the beach had an extra bedroom which we did not need. The reception was not very welcoming but rest of the services were good. We are glad we did not sign up for all the excursions some of them did not have enough people signed up. we were able to go on the Herman cave tubing which was a very pleasant experience again with a good guide.
Overall the Bocotora experience was average. well maintained resort clean and pleasant surroundings. Paddle boat restaurant was very average. we would be better off not including  the breakfast as paid meal. we really enjoyed the CHEF ROY restaurant. excellent food. thank you for your recommendation. walking around village was a good experience.
Your write-up about the our Belize vacation was very helpful.
