I’ve only been to Tulum as a tourist, but my wife and I DN’d in Belize for 7 months and we’ll definitely go back. We particularly liked Caye Caulker, Hopkins, Belmopan, and San Ignacio. Stay away from Belize City. The culture, the history, the food, the rainforest, if you’re not fascinated then you’re not paying attention. And affordable, did I mention affordable? The touristy places like San Pedro and Placencia are fine but expensive, so we hung out in the places I mentioned. As long as you’re that close you could do a lot worse than a stint in Belize.
