My fiancee and I are looking to plan our honeymoon to Belize, we are getting married Labor Day weekend and would be looking to travel later that week. We were thinking of staying on AC for the first part of the trip (at Mata Chica maybe?) and then going back to the mainland for some excursions before returning home.
The laying in the sun and enjoying relaxation is easy to find it seems. I was planning on doing a few essential dives, some of on the reef and the blue hole so I can check that box For diving, I plan on bringing my BPW, regs and computer...not sure on the underwater housing for the camera, but likely.
While I will be doing some diving, as a non-diver she will spend that time sunbathing on the beach or at the spa.
Now for my questions.
- Is Mata Chica (assuming they have availability) a good spot? Any others that are similar in accommodations on AC?
- What are the must dive spots? I'm sure it will all be amazing compared to the dark waters of the PNW.
- What are the must see mainland sites? If we wanted to visit Tikal, is it best to spend a night there? I'm a bit of a photographer, so I plan on taking it in as much as I can. I assume ATM is on the list of musts as well.
- What options are there for storing excess luggage (e.g. dive gear) safely in Belize City while on mainland trips (e.g. Tikal, etc)?
Thanks for any advice!
