Belize/Ambegris Caye- A Few More Questions

We are staying at Ramon's for a week in May.

Restaurants:

What are the names of a few good restaurants? What's a good "cheap eats"
place and a good place to eat that isn't necessarily cheap? (In Cozumel, we
never eat at the hotel and always eat in town. We like Primas, French
Quarter, El Capi Navigante and a couple of those cheap places along the town
square in San Miguel.)


Nightlife/Bars:

I don't plan to dive everyday and we like to go out and listen to good
music, drink and dance. Admittedly, we love hanging out at Carlos and
Charlie's if nothing else to watch the cruise ship people make fools of
themselves. We like to dance to good rock music as well.

Are there any good nightlife places where they play good dance music and
have cold beer?

Any good places to meet interesting people or simply people watch?

Who's got the best beer and drink prices or happy hours?

Are there any "tourista" type activities or places on the island that would
be interesting to do or see?

Thanks. This board is always good for a few comments, and I hope I get a
few.

oh yeah, and try to get over to Caye Caulker for an afternoon too. If you
don't go on some arranged tour, it is very inexpensive and fun to take the
water taxi there and back.

I can't remember if you said you would go to the Blue Hole or not. If you
do, go with Amigos del Mar! Most of the dive ops contract out that trip to
Amigos anyway, but I'm not sure about Ramons.

The Blue Hole dive day is fabulous. I know there are people that haven't
much enjoyed the Blue Hole dive, but I've done it 5 or 6 times and always
come out saying "AGAIN, again, I want to do it again". Make sure you are in
the second group of divers and not in the first. The second groups always
see more sharks.

The Blue Hole dive is followed up by two fabulous Atoll dives and includes a
lunch on an idyllic island. Take the walk over to the booby-bird sanctuary
and when you leave the lookout, take the right path over to the other side
of the island. If it isn't too hot, walk back to the lunch meeting point
from there. You may feel like you are totally alone and it is stunning.
