About Belize First Magazine:
Belize First is an independent, ad-free magazine focusing on travel, life and
retirement in Belize. And on the rest of the "Caribbean Coast" of Central
America, where the Caribbean is blue, the living is easy and the language is
mostly English.
We publish the top travel journalists and other reporters in the region. We
feature candid reporting, not ad-driven puffery. If a hotel is a dump, or a
resort is bad news, we tell you. We put READERS first.
What travelers and travel writers are saying about Belize First:
"The best magazine about Belize by far."
-- Peter Eltringham, The Rough Guide to Guatemala & Belize (Penguin/Rough
Guides)
"For more than a decade I have been specializing in travel to Belize and Costa
Rica. And as you can imagine, I receive pounds of mail about Belize --
magazines, newspapers, newsletters and brochures from hotels, etc. NEVER in
10 years have I come across a publication as good as yours!"
-- Dyanne Kruger, Imagine Travel Alternatives
"Belize First is a must for anyone even thinking about this fascinating
country."
--Paul Glassman, Belize Guide
"I ordered a subscription to Belize First, and am delighted to say that I
received my first issue last week. Thank you for the fast response. It's a
great magazine, and well worth the subscription fee!!!!!
--Joseph Allen
"It's an absolutely first-rate publication."
--Alex Bradbury, Guide to Belize (Bradt/Globe Pequot)
"I'm impressed with the research and no-holds-barred attitude in Belize First
..."
-- Richard Mahler, Belize, A Natural Destination (John Muir)
"... Offers everything from lists of recommended hotels and offbeat news
tidbits (my favorite section) to articles on retirement, camping, cheap
living, Belizean laws and customs, real estate listings, fishing, road
conditions, history ... doesn't put an automatic happy-face on topics such as
crime and cultural conflicts. If you have more than a passing interest in
this unique Central American country, read Belize First."
-- Carl Franz, The People's Guide to Mexico (John Muir)
