These videos are good. I bought property here and did it through a credible realtor, Vista, and have been happy with them. I did have a local try to con me not realizing that I had been living in Belize for seven years and I know better but Belize is amazing, the people are awesome, and the culture is rich. Thank you for the videos.
They don’t exchange Canadian cash which is what I specify in the video. I called to verify once I read your statement. They only accept wire transfers from Canada. A tourist with Canadian dollars in cash will find their money useless.
#4. why go to the Jewel and not drink the fine Belizean drinks? Don't waste money on imported drinks, let your hair down and immerse yourself in the local offerings. Regarding Duty free, if you want to take some Belizean rum back home with you, don't wait until you get to the duty free shop at the airport, it costs more in there, than it does at a grocery store.
Thanks for the realness. If you can give feedback on the treatment of gay people I'd appreciate it. I know there is no equal protection like so many countries, but do people casually say mean stuff?
@@gisellebze When a belizean lawyer shoots a gun behind your back in a boat and then has the police raid your house a week later tells you when you call him cause you think he's a friend tells you that you can't get a Visa now and if you bring it up to anybody other than this day, I'll use the water laws against you.
@@gisellebze I'm ready to get out of this country the dishonestly with the police force and how everybody turn the blind eye when they know the truth. I would turn in my nationality to this country as soon as I touched in on the United States ground.
@@gisellebze You know when you look at the ring of people that are associated with this attorney you have a guy that can pull passports that works for 1 of the family companies That person has 2 people well he did in social security and a social worker to call you crazy and on the lower side Real estate attorney hook to an insurance company. And then you got the police that'll turn the blind eye or do whatever they want.

great info! The only thing I would add is that your USD shouldn't have any rips or tears and don't bring $1 USD bills. Thank you!
You alcohol advice is good. I'd add the local alcohol (especially the rum) is superb as is Belikin . And very inexpensive.
Yes looking back I should have definitely elaborated on that
Local Vodka of 750ml cost about $13 US more or less. I like Hyper Vodka.
We're going for 10 days for our 10th anniversary in December! Can't wait! Any recommendations on local rum brands?
Thanks for the info. We're coming down in late February and starting to sort out where to go, stay, etc.
Love and we loved CC. Can't wait to go back! Great video
Thanks a lot!

Heritage bank does exchange CAD for BZD but they have their own exchange rate plus a “tax” you pay at the time of exchange

@@gisellebze I’m speaking from literal experience. Either way it worked for us at Heritage bank in Belize City.
Very helpful
Great advice Gis!! 👏🏽
Nice advice. But it’s not empanadas here. They are called panades
Do you have recommendations on hotels or resorts to stay in?
Good info. Thanks

Great tips. I'm looking forward to visiting. Hopefully 2025 or 2026.
Honestly, All are my favorite mentioned food are my favorite. lol
Haha mine too except ceviche. I don't like ceviche
@@gisellebze We ate good lobster ceviche with Liberty Tours. We went out fishing & snorkeling. Awesome crew. Imo
Also the part about the bank not changing other currencies is not true.
You can’t walk into a bank and ask them to exchange euros, British pounds etc in cash to Belize or USD. They only accept wires in foreign currency
Belize Bank you can. I’ve done it. But you are right about Atlantic and Heritage
Thanks for the realness. If you can give feedback on the treatment of gay people I'd appreciate it. I know there is no equal protection like so many countries, but do people casually say mean stuff?
Also about alcohol I just like beer, is that popular like US or Mexico?
😂....
What’s funny? Lol
@@gisellebze I came back home 10 years ago and I'm ready to run back to America
