I own a small hotel north of town and am providing information to prospective guests about coming to Belize through Cancun. While it takes two days travel time in each direction, the savings are worthwhile based on current rates. American Airlines tickets are currently over $700 before exit fees from Florida to Belize. All in, with travel through Cancun, I am saving about $400. A couple traveling together can save $800 to $1000, enough to pay for their lodging once they get to Belize. While rates vary from different departure cities, I checked a few sample cities for dates in February and the savings were comparable.

Anyone wanting specific details about my recent trip, including all costs, as well as hotel and transporation information, can email me at info@cocotalbelize.com .
