Guatemala has poor, I mean legendary squalid "Caribbean Experience" beaches. Mud, mosquitoes, the whole bad juju. After shrieking at the Disneyland prices on the beaches of Quintana Roo. No more. Even miserable Xcalak was 5x as pricey as the Pacific Coast.
Head down. Palenque is getting like Chicken Little Yucatan - flooded with a thousand tourists. BAH!
Guatemala has TIKAL. Much less expensive and a tiny fraction of the turists. TIKAL is huge, exciting and authentic. Nearby services. Then vault across the Belizian border (continue east past TIKAL). When you hit the hummingbutt (oops I mean Hummingbird) highway then head south for PLACENCIA. There you can find decent prices and sand and Palms instead of mud and mangroves like elsewhere in mainland Belize. When Quicksilver gets a new 10-year TIP this fall, I am going to continue on down to Nicaragua. Costa Rica may be considered Costa Mesa (California) because of exorbitant prices. Gringos have commandeered many used-to-be-nice Pacific Beaches in Panama. Yeah, Ten bucks to boondock park Lucy's Bed & Breakfast.
