Belize: Where to get shampoo etc.:

I agree. Allan has some good advice. The problem is the way he states it. It is always in a condescending/derogatory fashion towards Belize, without giving both sides.

Belize: places to buy in Belize:

..we bought in Corozal. Main reasons FOR US; - everyone has english,everything is marked in english - it was very cheap to buy what would be over a million anywhere else - chose Corozal because it is 15 minutes to the Mexican border - also found there is a pretty vibrant expat community in and around corozal - I believe Corozal is a good investment as well (not why we bought it) .

Belize: Hopkins:

Wow. That is a very sad comment.

Belize: Visit:

…we stayed at Serenity Sands outside Corozal. It is $110 a night for the guesthouse that has a kitchen. It is outside of town so you will want to rent a car. Todd

Belize: Planning our move to Belize:

…for anyone who wants the truth on internet in Belize check the links above. I emailed our house in Belize that has four units and free internet for each unit to ask my manager what we are paying for internet. Here is the response; "We pay 80 BZD for 1 Mbps internet. The speed varies during the day. I just (7pm) use speediest by Ookla. Download was 1.65 Mbps and upload was 0.82. It is fast enough to watch movies, use Skype for all off us. If somebody need a faster one it can be easy upgraded"… I have no idea what the internet speed terms mean. Anyhow I hope that helps you, Todd

Belize: Boomer couple from LA:

…in the US internet and electric I assume are pretty cheap. What I pay in Canada for electric and internet is actually a bit more than what I pay at our house in Belize. We rent out one bedroom apartments in Corozal. Each apartment has its own hydro meter. It works out to about $15USD month for electricity for each one bedroom apartment….double if there is air conditioning being used. In my mind that is cheap. My home electricity bill in Canada works out to about $200USD a month (I am in Ontario where there is huge mismanagement)

Belize: Renting prices:

…we have one bedrooms for rent $500usd in Corozal

Belize: Moving in 2018:

…here was our story; - we are from an hour outside of Toronto - we were looking for an all inclusive vacation - prices for the entire family were all over $10,000 for 5 star - I said to my wife after a few years of that it is better off buying something - we researched for about a year properties - decided on Corozal Belize - booked a vacation to check it out -looked at several properties we had in mind - bought a property with rental units in it - our plan is to vacation every year - my wife and myself spent "sabbaticals" abroad as young children due to our parents professions - we both agree a year abroad for young children is beneficial, and will not take away from their elementary education - we are considering taking our 4 and 6 year olds to belize, for a year of home schooling and tutoring at our second home

Belize: Where to fly into:

…last time we used VIP cab service. Very professional (except for the dispatcher who had no telephone sense). If I recall we were charged $100USD

Belize: Retired Veteran seeking a rental property in Belize:

..corozal has a pretty decent farmers market.
