    Central America is never easy but Jorge did a great job of adjusting logistical plans when the unforeseen happened. Very culturally fulfilling trip, spectacular natural wonders, and very welcoming people made this a great trip. Thanks!

    Veryvaried trip so lots of different adventures. Very well organised and enough time spent in each place. Special mention to TANIA ROBLES our tour guide. She was very helpful and went out of her way to assist in the group's varied requests. Tania also helped me when I had trouble getting home due to visa issue. Thankfully she was still in Antigua but not working but she was an angel in getting me flights etc. Can't wait for next trip. Well done Intrepid

    Unfortunately, there are many reasons to give this score. The main reason has to be the poor selection of hotels. We stayed at a hotel named ""China Town"" while we were supposed to be experiencing Caye Caulker in Belize. China Town Hotel is not ""experiencing the local experience."" The hotel also served as a casino, filled with cigarette smoke with drunk, loud and frankly scary locals lingering outside. The people staying at the hotel kept slamming doors and yelling. It was no where near the beach. Instead, it was on the middle of the island on a dark side street. This trend continued through San Ignacio. When we arrived there was no water at the hotel, and the music next door was so loud that we paid out of pocket to book another hotel down the road. Thank god we did, because no one else in the group slept, since the music continued vibrating through the entire hotel until after 3am.
