Not an issue at all. Belize is very safe. It's just like any other place in the world. Dont do stupid shiit. Don't go to parts that you shouldnt be going like Belize City or way south on Ambergris. The only time I felt at all a tad uncomfortable was a few years ago when I had a tour to the ruins and cave tubing. All of these tours are out of Belize City so instead of going to the island and then turning around and going right back to Belize City I stayed in Belize City at the Radisson. which is really close to the ferry terminal. I asked the hotel if there was a fun bar/grill near by for dinner and they looked at me and said "sir, you can not leave the hotel after 5pm. It is very dangerous" On the way back from the tour the next day our guide who grew up in Belize city and according to him was in a gang in his younger years drove us through all the really rough parts; "those guys aree lookout" and theyd wave at him etc and he'd wave back. I did have a "um ok. Im good now. You can go ahead and drop me off at the muni airstrip" Which by the way is the best airport Ive ever been to. Fun bar overlooking the runway. Finished my last Belikin, walked 30 seconds to the terminal. Maya staff Ok. hes here. Lets go. zero security etc
