Belize city and specifically the area around the hotel feels extraordinarily unsafe. Stepping outside for a five minute walk to the coffeehouse yielded multiple people harassing/hawking products at us or staring at us. When leaving we were stopped outside by a homeless man for some unknown reason.
On the plus side, the hotel itself appears to be fairly safe and we didn’t face any issues with security/checking in. I’m personally not a fan of having our ID’s scanned; however, the reason given to us was so the security guard could let us in during after hours - I find it doubtful anyone would leave then though. This was the only place which required an ID.
The hotel room itself was clean. However, the walls are paper thin and you can hear everyone passing by. It does not help that the windows in the bathroom and hallway are INTO THE HOTEL. Make sure you properly position the curtains otherwise people can peak in and see you. Also, the walk in shower contains a faucet (why????).
