Belizeans, by and large, are warm, open, and welcoming to visitors.
# 1 Hopkins/Sittee Point
Small and unspoiled Garifuna area with warm, friendly folks
# 2 Corozal Town
Generally safe town with Mexican influence and nice people
# 3 San Ignacio/Santa Elena
Relaxed community with a Maya and Mestizo heritage
# 4 Punta Gorda
Population is a mix of Maya (especially in areas outside PG), Garifuna, Creole, Mestizo -- generally hassle-free except at bars at night
# 5 Belize City
Belize City has a well-deserved reputation for crime and hassle, but it also has some of the hardest-working, friendliest people in Belize -- too bad the rascals are what most visitors hear about
