For singles traveling here or even those in a relationship but looking, Belize offers the chance of truly exotic adventure and variety. The country has a small population and you might have to look a little bit harder for a date and romance to suit your likes, compared to say neighboring Honduras or Guatemala.
I will be bold and condemned for it, but your mileage may be off the Richter scale in Belize. Experienced travelers tend to follow the advice of locals and head off to the sports bars that spring up and dot most any population center in Belize. Shut down by U. Today it is mostly village or underground. The general rule as in any other country is to first consult the concierge. If this is below your room rate, next down would be the bellhop. If you have no bellhop, consult the bartender.
Beyond that is the wildcard of the taxi driver or your tour guide. Dating is easier in the high volume tourism spots such as San Pedro, Caye Caulker and Placencia and increasingly in southern Belize. If the tourist is a person of means, often he or she can fly off with a new partner from Belize in no short order. Ask John McAfee, a former resident of Belize. The beauty of Belize however lies in the variety of cultures ranging from Latino, to Lebanese, German, African, English, American, Canadian, Argentinian, Venezuelan, Dutch and a wide variety of other ethnic groups.
But the predominant date you may encounter is Afro-Belizean especially in Belize City. Diversity can be found other areas outside of Belize city. The latest population estimate is that over 70 per cent of our country is Latino. Latinas are concentrated in western, southern and northern Belize.
Locals love to party and the partying starts on Thursdays. One of the best ways to find a date in Belize is to visit one of the many dance clubs or casinos. If you are a visitor, your tour guide of taxi driver can serve as a wing man and introduce you unaccompanied ladies for a round of drinks, and take it from there. These fancy names may not necessarily coincide with say, the Tropicana in Cuba. The hot area in the city is the strip on Princess Margarete Drive where you can find various casinos and nightclubs.
