Don't waste your money. Staff is poor and service is a close second. They don't give a crap, only that you meet the minimum credit card amount. Rooms were nice in 1980; needs a major overhaul in personnel and accommodations. This is a blight on the name of Radisson Hotels.

Great place to stay in Belize City. The food is excelent! Coffee is great! Only 10 min. walk to Water Terminal where you can catch a taxi to islands. Don't stay in Belize City too long, go to the islands and have fun there.

Pleasant place to stay

The Radisson Fort George is close to downtown, not far from the Princess, which has a casino, but lacks other amenities. Beautiful, pleasant staff, on the waterfront, and good food. Who could ask for more?

Radisson Fort George Hotel and Marina

I heard the best place for foreigners to stay in Belize City was the Radisson Fort George Hotel and Marina. It's located in the Fort George area of Belize City. I'm guessing from the rusted out 16th-century cannons pointing out to sea that Fort George was a fort defending against pirates.

It's a 30-minute cab ride to the Radisson from Philip Goldson international airport. (cab fare is $25.) The Radisson's exterior isn't much to look at. The lobby is fairly nice, with natural stone flooring and counters, if a bit small. The desk staff were quite nice but not too fast on their feet.

I was issued room no. 308. The bellhop took my bags and guided me to the room. The hallways are exterior hallways that overlooked a building called the Great House, which I later visited.

My room had two double beds. It was smaller than your typical Radisson room found in the United States. There is carpet present, and the entryway is made of paver stone. The bathroom was fairly nice. The electrical outlets are the same as the United States. The windows have a view of the marina. There is an air-conditioner sitting under the window, which worked quite well! Whew!

There is a desk, small fridge, coffeemaker, and a bottle of complimentary water. There is a TV cabinet with a 19-inch TV sitting inside. The alarm clock is on top of the TV instead of the nightstand, which I found a bit irritating. I noticed the TV's satellite feed featured local news from Denver, Colorado!

There are two restaurants, one outside by the pool and a sports-bar-type restaurant. There is a small gift shop by the lobby and a concierge desk that arranged activities and tours.

Our check-out process was fair. There was a hotel employee that had to come up to our room to check the fridge to see if we used anything from it. Our rate was $130 per night for this room. It's supposed to be the nicest place in Belize.

The rooms on the main side were nice (we did pay for the upgrade). We had two beds that were clean and fresh. There was a nice big window with a view of the sea and cable TV. The room had a strong air-conditioning, but it had some quirks. There was a fully stocked bar with snacks to buy, and most importantly, bottled water.

My main complaint was the attitude and friendliness of the place. No one went out of their way to be nice, and you often had to ask a lot for things. We called for a ride from the airport, but the shuttle "was not working," (In reality, a taxi cost $20 versus $10 per person for the shuttle.) We arrived planning to book the next day's trips, but the tour desk was randomly closed for the entire day. The pool on our side was closed (no one told us), and on the other side, it looked kinda dirty and extremely deserted. The dinner menus in our room were never correct, food was generally just mediocre, and phone charges were pure robbery.

The overall mood there was deserted! It was almost like a ghost town; we later learned that we were there on non-cruise ship days. HOWEVER, considering other options in Belize City, it might have been the best. Princess Casino looked big and decent, but was in an area all by itself, whereas Radisson was close to the tourist shops and other restaurants.
