Great info. My wife and I are planning to re-locate to Belize, probably Placencia, when I retire in 2026. We have been to Placencia once and San Pedro once. We just wish to long-term rent for at least a year or so, and then maybe change locations to San Pedro or another locale (on the water...not jungle lol)

I get where you’re coming from-politics can definitely impact a place, and Belize isn’t immune to that. A lot of people are moving here to escape the political climate back home, but it’s true that Belize’s own political challenges can affect the experience here too. Still, many find that the natural beauty and welcoming community make up for the drawbacks. It’s always a balance, and it helps to be clear on what’s most important to you before deciding where to live. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Can you describe the advantages in Placencia for the older, retired demographic, access to medical services, etc.?? Are there store deliveries? " Uber "?
@LindainBelize3 ай бұрын
Placencia offers several advantages for retirees, particularly when it comes to access to medical services. A new polyclinic has recently opened, providing local healthcare options. Additionally, my doctor operates a private clinic here and has prior experience working in the U.S. For more specialized medical needs, many residents travel to hospitals in Belize City or even across the border to Mexico, where treatments can be more affordable. Both destinations are accessible by car from Placencia. While there isn’t a service like Uber, taxis are readily available for transportation. Most stores don’t offer delivery services, but many locals are willing to assist with errands such as grocery shopping or picking up medications. Hiring help is also more affordable, making it easier for retirees to manage day-to-day tasks.

Warning! The dark side of HomeExchange! One week before my arrival date, my host cancelled my reservation for no valid reason. I had purposely booked something within the city limits of Stockholm, because all my engagements were in the city limits. HomeExchange then sent out inquiries (after I had written to them 5 times) to other properties around Stockholm and got 1 possible answer. The only problem was that this property was over 30 km (19 miles) outside of the city limits, where I would have to travel by public transportation more than 1 hour to get there. I would also have to travel through some very unsafe neighborhoods to arrive at this location. Travelling through these neighborhoods at night is very unsafe, especially if you are a single woman, so naturally I could not accept this arrangement. HomeExchange then informed me that they had offered me a place and I did not accept, and therefore they were not going to reimburse me for hotel expenses. This is the truth and people need to know the truth. HomeExchange hides behind their corporate fine print, saying they have the right to find another exchange location that is within 50 km (31 miles) from the original reservation. It is all fine and dandy until your host cancels, then you are on your own, this the dark side of HomeExchange. I had been a loyal member of HomeExchange for at least 5 years, where I have paid my membership fees on time and had done several successful exchanges, but I am now going to cancel my membership. I have not been treated well.
