Only been to Belize once and stayed in Ambergris Caye. Beautiful area to visit but not sure I would want to retire there. You have to consider quality of life and available medical services if you are at retirement age.
Quality of life there is decent but medical is very much lacking. I suggest they look at other areas of the Caribbean or Central America if they are interested.
Wife and I are heading to Victoria House in May (Ambergris Caye).
Parents are in the medical profession so they know what to look for regarding that. Thanks for the input though. I've read the largest issue with living on the island is that the closest place of care is Belize City which is a problem if you are in need of urgent care.
If issues come up, they still have their house in Texas and can always fly to Houston for routine check-ups.
I thought I remembered some TexAgs folks having properties down there. If so, I was hoping to get some info on living in the area.
