Belize
I went to Belize this past Holiday season. I went to Ambergris Caye and San Ignacio. The people of Belize are extremely nice. It is one of the friendliest countries I have ever been too. It is really easy to visit because everyone speaks English and Spanish. It was really easy to get around Ambergris Caye. The little downtown area is very walkable. There is a lot to see considering it is such a small town. I went diving with Amigos Del Mar. They were excellent. I thought the diving was phenomenal. The food and lodging is pretty reasonable as long as you don't eat at the resorts. The activities are a bit expensive. Diving in Belize is a little pricey, especially for the long day trips so be prepared for that in your budget. The interior of the country, "the jungle", is just beautiful. I saw lots of beautiful birds and monkeys. I really recommend the Belize Zoo also.
