What do people like (and dislike) about Punta Gorda?

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Punta Gorda, they replied...

"I first started my new residency in Belize in Punta Gorda. My husband and I loved the area, the people were great, so friendly, and helpful. Great little market for fresh veggies and fruits held almost daily. It is much less expensive in Punta Gorda than it is in San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. A fish market is also there. The downside was that Punta Gorda is located so far from the rest of the country as far as other amenities go, visiting Belmopan for governmental requirements. Yes, there is an immigration department in P.G. for monthly stamps but other types of govermental tasks that require visits to Belmopan are an all day or overnight affair," said another in Punta Gorda, Belize.

"Expats and digital nomads like Punta Gorda for its laid-back lifestyle and friendly local community. They appreciate the natural beauty of the area, with its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and diverse wildlife. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many other countries, which is a big plus for those on a budget. The local cuisine, which is a blend of various cultures, is also a highlight for many. However, there are also aspects of living in Punta Gorda that expats and digital nomads may not like. The town is quite remote, which can make it difficult to access certain amenities and services. The internet connection can be unreliable, which is a significant drawback for digital nomads who rely on it for work. The healthcare facilities are also limited, and serious medical conditions often require travel to a larger city or even out of the country. The hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for those not used to tropical weather. Lastly, while the slow pace of life is a draw for some, others may find it too quiet and lacking in entertainment or nightlife options," explained one expat who made the move to Punta Gorda, Belize.
