Belize is an amazing country that offers a world of possibilities within Central America and, even better, you can get by just fine if English is your main language. One of the main things people need to consider when they go on any vacation is a base of operations — you need to have a dedicated place for when you finally decide to tuck in from a full day of adventures and that can serve you an amazing breakfast when you start your next day in paradise. To that end, consider the Best Western Belize Biltmore Plaza.
Close Proximity To The Airport
Whether you are arriving from an international flight or from another part of Belize, this home away from home is just 10 miles away from both the Philip Goldson International Airport and the Municipal Airport of Belize City. This closeness in location means that you can likely be ready to unload your luggage and see the country in under an hour from the point that you reach the country.
A Variety of Packages

But you may wonder what sets this location apart from other hotels in the area. To that end, consider the following activity packages. All packages include a shuttle to and from the airport and access to a breakfast buffet, where you can enjoy traditional Belizean offerings like tropical fruits, coffee, juice, stew chicken, eggs, refried beans, flour tortillas, fry jacks, meat pies, and Johnny cakes. Now on the other hand, if you are not one for established packages and want to experience Belize in your own unique way, this venue is more than able to enable that desire.
- The Honeymoon Package. This venue offers a two-night/three-day package that includes a premier room, a celebratory bottle of wine, a full-day rainforest adventure with an included lunch, a half-day adventure to the Maya site of Altun Ha, and an aquatic adventure along your choice of the Lamanai, the New River or the combo of riding an inner tube along the waterway of a cave plus a zipline experience.
- Cave Tubing with a Zipline. This two-night/three-day package includes a standard room, trips to Altun Ha, Lamanai, the New River, and, of course, the chance to go cave tubing and riding a zipline through the rainforest canopy. Two of the days in this package cover full-day adventures in the rainforest with a complimentary lunch.
- The Rainforest Adventure This two-night/three-day package will allow you to explore Lamanai and Xunantunich, travel down the New River, and visit the Belize Zoo to get an understanding and better experience the indigenous wildlife that you may have already encountered.
You can take in the culture at your own speed, either choosing to lounge about the hotel with its restaurant serving authentic Belizean dishes, lubricate yourself with an ice-cold tropical drink prepared from the bar, or even just chill out in the pool or on one of the long chairs in the open-air pavilion.

Another route to exploring the country would be the many tours offered by this establishment. While some of the optional sites of interest have been covered before, like Lamanai, Altun Ha, and Xunantunich, other tours available to curious parties would be Tikal, in neighboring Guatemala; the Community Baboon Sanctuary found along the Belize River, and a proper and thorough tour of Belize City, the former capital city of the country.

Now if you want to go totally on your own during your stay, that is more than fine as well. English is the official language of Belize and the hotel’s location and the size of the country means that your travel times will not be too long regardless of what you want to do, be it touring the rainforest, checking out the Caribbean Sea, hunting some invasive and delicious lionfish or catching up with some anglers to do fishing.
