Three girls looking to travel in the winter — we’re looking at either Belize or Costa Rica for a week as both match our budget. Which one to go to? Any safety concerns for either? Tips or suggestions?

Both are awesome. Belize was cooler IMO since it’s less populated and tourism is still growing. Pretty safe as well

I enjoyed my time in Manuel Antonio and Arenal volcano in Costa Rica.

Have been to both, prefer CR. Harder to do beach and forest too in Belize. Easy in CR, although snorkeling a lot better in B. CR has fabulous adventure activities like zip lines, wildlife, jet ski, horses etc. Manuel Antonio Nat’l Park is gorgeous - tons to do. Monteverde is nice too. Depends on what you like. If focused on snorkeling/ diving, Belize, if want lots of other stuff with wildlife like sloths, monkeys, gorgeous birds, crocs, do CR

Looks like it’s CR! Thanks all

I’ve never been to CR but Belize was fantastic! I went with four girlfriends M-Sat and we stayed at Pelican Reef Villas in Ambergris Caye (this resort ensured we had a driver the entire time), we did snorkeling and swimming with sharks on the island and then went to San Pedro for a day at the ruins/cave tubing, then spent a day exploring Caye Caulker. I think a lot of the islands are amazing but I highly recommend our resort! We were very taken care of :)

No safety concerns, I recommend Las Tortugas in Playa Grande

Costa Rica is super cool, perfect mix of adventure and beach time if you hang on the southern coast.

One thing to note is that Belize is harder to do both rainforest and beach together in less than a week. You can do day trips to either but the roads aren’t great so it’s a slow drive. Plus it’s super cool to stay in a rainforest lodge

Belize. Start around San Ignacio for a rainforest experience and catch the small plane from San Ignacio to San Pedro on the beach.

How adventurous are you? I highly recommend the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica if you can swing it. It's original/primary rainforest and a magical place. Hire a guide. Let me know if you want more recommendations on coming/going and where to stay

I bummed rides from locals in Costa Rica (single woman). It was really friendly and safe. I loved the arenal volcano area.

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!
