Airport to Placencia by monica&claude1234

Hello everyone! What is the best way to get from the airport in Belize City to Placencia?? We really don`t want to rent a car just for that. Are there shuttles, or just city buses or is it better to take a taxi? Also prices, if you know them! ...

John (Skip) Crossen

FWIW, We also rented from Crystal and had very good service(car was waiting for us, clean, etc-no delays). As I remember, the daily rate was about US$45/day, but that was a couple of years ago. But gas is expensive in Belize! I think the airfare is ... Read More

We've both rented a car-and then used it for our entire trip and returned it to the airport when we left- and used the local airline(forgot the name)....it flies out of the same airport, and flies to the airport just north of Placencia. I ... Read More

Crusie Lines moving in by Boxergal

What does everyone think of the Norweign Cruise line that is coming to town? Just curious, I have been reading the local paper and on line stories. I'm not sure what to think about it.

John (Skip) Crossen

I thought I had read that the Placencia Town Council had voted down the Cruise Lines Proposal, and the whole issue was dead......at least for the Placencia area. Did I read wrong? Is the proposal still alive? Read More

Certainly each subscriber to this blog is entitled to their opinions. But why all the hate mail and fear mongering regarding SanctuaryBelize? I would submit that if...you don't have personal knowledge or actual experience with SanctuaryBelize, then ... Read More

FWIW.....I have been on the "tour" twice, once before we bought our 1st lot (and it was indeed an information gathering effort for us) and then a few years later AFTER we had purchased our 2nd lot. Unless they have significantly changed the "tour" ... Read More

Just saw your posts, and you are exactly correct. We've been a lot owners since 2005, have been there more than a couple of times, and can completely echo your comments on the development and the lack of pressure to buy--the place DOES sell ... Read More
