Comments	We began our visit to Belize with a side trip to the ruins at Tikal (Guatemala), which was amazing. We encourage visitors to make it a priority. Contact Crystal Paradise Resort for a 3-day package deal. We found Lighthouse Reef Resort to be a great tropical escape. No shoes, no worries. Only the noseeums. Accommodations were not brand new, but were very clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked very well. In-room mini-fridge kept beverages and snacks cold, and was replenished daily. The small gift shop had a good selection of promo items, plus those things you need when you forgot to pack them. The 21 diving guests were on two boats - ours held 6 divers and 2 divemasters, the other held 15 divers, 2 divemasters and the captain. Once we checked out for ability, we didn't handle our gear again until we loaded it into bags to go home. Divemasters Bart, Gilbert, Glenn and Ernest traded groups mid-week so were with everyone at one time or another. All were excellent, taking it very slowly so we could check every little crack and crevace in the coral. No dive site was more than 40 minutes by boat, including Long Caye and Half Moon Caye. Several were just offshore of the resort, so intervals were on the island. Shore staff in the restaurant, office, and housekeeping took great care of us. Breakfast was from a daily menu, lunch varied with the day, and dinner was posted on the board the night before so we could choose one of two or three selections. All meal portions were more than enough to eat. Take advantage of LRR now, since we heard it is going to be closed next August for renovation.
