Would appreciate any information on this development. Thanks!

It is my understanding that most expats have medical evacuation ins. That will pay the transportation cost to be evacuated back to the states. So I would think you would want to keep your Medicare. I think there is some inexpensive ins available ... Read More

SB will stop discover Belize tours in August this year. Projections are to be sold out by that time. Two full years ahead of schedule. It will be a full two years before all the power and water is available to all lots. I'm not sure that my ... Read More

Lucky Larry. I side with you on this one. These bashers out there who have never been to the place seem to get ticked off when someone with some facts correct them. Then they attack you for having the balls to call them out on it. I think naive ... Read More

Maybe I can help. The airport in Placencia is privatly owned. Google "The Placincia" or follow this http://www.theplacencia.com/. They are the developers that own the airport. Like any private enterprise they will finish it when it makes sense ... Read More


Panama or Belize by 7obra..
If you were going to retire on one or the other which one would you pick and why?

The only International airport in Belize (for the time being) is in Belize City. There is one about half built in Placencia. This is a privatly owned airport and is at the very best 2 years out from completion. I would guess more like 5 years ... Read More


Driving through Mexico by cheryl&jeff
We are driving through Mexico when we move to Belize and have heard that there is a difference between declaring yourself a 'tourist' vs. telling the Mexican border authorities you are just driving through, which is labeled 'transmigrante.' ...

I do not know for sure but I read a blog from a person doing just that. From what he said, Just don't do it! You will need a fist full of dollars to pay the bribes needed to get your stuff through and you will lucky if you don't get robbed when ... Read More

Hi KathyBelize, We met on the trip back in May. You house is looking fantastic and the heavy rain seemed to have no affect other than the standard puddles in the yard area. Once the landscaping is in you will have an absolute show place. I'm ... Read More

Well it has been 15 days and we still have not received our refund of the $5000.00 we put down on a lot. Halleb can you tell me when I will get it back or if I will get it back? Just a ?I was double charged on my first trip down and need to be ... Read More

As reported by others, the airport in Placiencia is at a standstill. It could be finished in 1-2 years but from what I saw I would guess closer to 5. The new cruise ship port may speed it along but I'm not counting on it. The roads from Belize ... Read More

If you haven't noticed, I'm here for the entertainment value! You should try getting a sense of humor. You people can dish it out but when it comes back at you, you act all offended. I'm going to call it like I see it. Like Larry said, very ... Read More

Hey another note If you arrive early you are charged for your food and drinks. The same if you depart late.I'm guessing that was a sizable bill for you! Let's see, show up early for a subsidized vacation and they would have the audacity to charge ... Read More

I'm here and I can tell you the river is in full flood stage. The river seems to flood to the north side as the bank on the SB side is 10-25' above the river. Only minor flooding on the rest of the property. As far as the rain is concerned. I am ... Read More
