You’re on island time

As soon as you arrive, set your watch to island time. The laid-back aura that surrounds Belize is apparent and genuine, bringing you centeredness and peace that you probably don't experience back home as life sweeps you up into a whirlwind of activity that makes days fly by.

Caye Caulker's "Go Slow" tagline reflects the laid-back ambiance and Caribbean-like culture that characterizes Belize. Anyone visiting Belize expecting timely service and strict timetables should be aware that island time is still in effect. Many restaurants require you to sit before flagging down someone for a menu. Furthermore, the delay between placing your order and receiving your food will likely be greater than at your neighborhood restaurant. Have you scheduled a snorkeling trip? Don't be shocked if your party leaves 20 minutes later than planned. Just keep in mind that you're on vacation and are there to unwind.
