What is it like to retire in Belize?
We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Belize. They said...
"Belize city is usually used by people just passing thru. For those of us who live here, there is a night life, a cultural center, casino, theatre, gyms etc. The expats are here, and we all eventually find each other, drinking at the British barracks, or local bars and wine clubs. There is an international woman's group, but I do not attend," wrote a member who made the move to Belize City, Belize.
