Exactly the same as every other cruise oriented tourist village. Same old stuff with the word "Belize" instead of "Insert Cruise Destination Name here". Overpriced and most of it is from China. And, in order to get out you have to run the gauntlet of hawkers in a run down neighborhood, but it is in the Cruise Lines best interest... More

We were on a seven day Caribbean cruise and Belize was one of the ports. This was our first time ever in Belize,and we would definitely love to go back thanks to our tour guide Irvin Longsworth. He was recommended by a local(not affiliated with the cruise line) He was very reasonable in his price, and went over and beyond... More

The Tourism Village is a newly designed and construction with the temptations of any tourist trap. This is a quality facility and in a great location. Cruise ships have this on their sights so know you are getting nothing cheap but you know you will get quality. Walk about and see the other vendors and know if you bring teak... More

We visited Belize Tourism Village on an excursion from a cruise. We took a tender over and did enjoy the boat ride and the blue water. Once on land you are greeted by all the typical cruise ship fare, Diamond shops, etc. There were lots of things to buy clothes, purses, etc. But, this is a huge knockoff market, and... More

While there was one place where we had decent drinks, overall it felt way too crowded. It's like a tourist mall. Like most ports, there are the diamond outlets, and name brand stores. The only cool one was the Harley Davidson shop, by the way. All in all, I'd get through this place and on the boat as fast as... More

The tourist village had lots of shops but be careful its only open when cruise ships are in town. The prices are good. The rest of belize city was not worth even writing about. Skip the city if at all possible. More

An area for trhose who want to show they've been to Belize without bothering to actually see the country. All the souvinier shops in one spot without any of the sites. Stop there to grab souviniers but keep going to see the country. More

The tourism village is located at the port of Belize City. It consists of numerous stores and a few restaurants. Selection of broad and unlike other ports, prices are reasonable. Washrooms are located at the far end of the pier / village (beside the Harley Davidson shop) and are kept clean. More

I had a completely different take on the tourism village. My boyfriend and I were also in Belize City to experience the culture and mingle with the locals as opposed to doing the touristy tour and what not. In a few days we ran out of place to explore so we decided to suck it up and go to the... More
