called "British Honduras". English is their primary language. I was just there on a recent cruise. I kind of liked it (we went to the Zoo/Animal Sanctuary), but am still suffering from mosquito and fire ant bites all over my legs!! Guess that is what I get for going on "rainly season" in the jungle in shorts!. Everyone seemed real nice. Anyone have any opinions of the country?

I went there last x mas, it was very relaxing and beautiful. I spent most of my time in Caye Caulker, and then went to Orange walk and Lamanai. I managed to avoid too much mosquito damage by:
1) coating myself in insect repellent the moment the sunset
2) having tea tree oil always handy- it repels insect and makes the itching go away
It was really beautiful overall, but now I am quite scared of the stingrays that lurk around the island of caye caulker constantly!
Yes the people are really nice, if you end up on Caye Caulker, look for the woman passing by the beach in the afternoon selling coconut chocolate pie, or the guy selling amazing brownies and cakes

Actually, Belize is quite nice. I went to Caye Caulker island - located near the reef where the snorkelling is wonderful. Had a grand time and I would recommend visiting it to anyone.
A small island it is now split in 2 - a result of a hurricane, so one half if the island is deserted (at least in 2001). Take a water taxi from Belize City to get there. I also recommend seeing the city of Placentia located on the tip of a tiny, pencil thin pennisula. Very laid back and good clean and chaep accommodations are available too.

Oh...I live in Belize so I do have an opinion. I think overall it is a great country to live in. I still consider it an untouched part of the world in terms of the simple living, without a lack of access to modern amenities. There is a vareity of things to do and see, and everything is within driving distance.
Glad you liked it.
