Getting to know Belize

8 years ago
Hi, I live in Canada and am 3 years away from retirement and am starting to research areas I might want to move to (or come for extended stays) and Belize is so far at the top of my list. I am trying to figure out which area would be best suited for me. I like what I have read about San Pedro on Ambergris Caye but would like to know if there are also suitable places on the mainland. I would like to be on the coast and would prefer a spot with a strong expat community. Any suggestions? If so if you could supply any links so I could take a look and read up on the spot it would be appreciated. Also how can I find out about long term rentals? I have been looking on line but every search I do just comes back with nightly charges. I would like to see the cost to rent a 2 bedroom condo/apartment preferably in a building that has a pool, long term. Like if I decide to move there, where would I find rental listings for permanent rentals? I would like to be in an area that has some pubs and restaurants as well. Thanx K
