I was there in 1991 on a business trip(!) Flew American Airlines out of Miami, stayed in Belize City in the Ramada Royal Reef Hotel, which was very nice. Most of my time was spent in the capital, Belmopan, which is about fifty miles west of Belize City (the capital was moved inland because hurricanes kept whacking Belize City). In '91, Belize City was a bit, uh, primitive looking, but quaint and safe to walk around in. Most tourists were, of course, going out to the reefs to go diving, and I didn't get to see any of those areas, as I was dressed in a suit lugging a briefcase between government buildings in Belmopan. At the time, they had uncovered ruins in the forests which they were considering opening up for tourism; not sure if that's been done yet. All in all, it seemed a nice place.
