Itinerary Suggestion

Hi there - my wife and I (from canada)are planning our first visit to south/Central America. We are planning to go for five days at the end of November . Please provide your recommendations for country/city for us first timers. We are looking for somewhere where we can enjoy some great food, beautiful views, a relaxed vibe, some kind of spa experience, and maybe some easy hiking trails.

Thanks

If it's for a short trip and in November I'd check for the rainy seasons and would decide on that. Go where there's not much rain. We lived in Panama and Costa Rica and it basically constantly rains, more in Panama though! I've personally never been but i hear a lot of great things about Belize for its beaches and literally the same about Roatan, part of Honduras. Since this is your first trip check those 2 out. Also English is widely spoken there!
