Tipping

The government of Belize keeps posting that there is no tipping in Belize. We found this to be inaccurate. Like everywhere else, good service in a restaurant deserves a tip.

We also tipped our tour guides, but at the very least give them a sincere "thank you" at the end of the trip. One of the guides told us that when people he took out just got off of the boat and walked away, it made him feel that he had not done a good job. These guides work long and hard on designing the whole experience, and creating explanations for things that carry a Belize sense of humor along with the factual information. We really appreciated this.
