Corozal in November 2018 by barthandsam
We will be traveling from South Dakota to Corozal in early November of this year and are looking at Belize as a possible snow bird/retirement location. We like the easy going way of life in this area as well as the access to Chetumal Mexico for ...
many expats do not live in a gated community, choosing instead to live independent of other expats. As to the departure fee...if you came to Belize under the QRP program it does not apply and if you have gained Residency status it does not apply. ... Read More

Consejo Shores vs. Corozal Town - Which one is better to own? by Suncrave
Hi, I would like your opinion, please. Regardless of the price or size, if there are two lots that are in the same category (oceanfront or non-oceanfront): one is in-town of Corozal and one is CS being 6 miles away from Corozal Town. Which one you ...
not in my opinion...predominantly expat communities ( ie Consejo Shores, Mayan Seaside, Consejo Landings) may be targeted more because expats are "believed" to be rich and mostly by Belize standards they are. IMHO I would stay away from ... Read More

American-Canadian Couple Reportedly Found Strangled by laracuc
Does anyone know what happened? http://people.com/crime/missing-american-canadian-couple-dead-in-belize/

I disagree with you somewhat....while I agree that more jobs are needed...I disagree that the country needs Walmart, KFC or anything else from the US....Belize is beautiful the way it is...please don't try to commercialize it to where it is no ... Read More

My wife and i are considering moving to Corozal, but it is entirely dependent on my ability to work from home via the internet. I have seen some options out there but was wondering if anyone could give us some "on the ground" opinions. I ...
