Question

Do I need a passport or a visa?

Answer

No visa is required, but a passport is absolutely necessary. Please ensure that you have a passport and that it is up to date before your departure.

Question

Resort Promo Code Is Confusing?

Answer

Hi everyone! Just to clarify how the resort group rate works: The promo code RP2026 is not a discount code for a cheaper room rate. The nightly rate itself is the same. The difference you’re seeing comes from how the resort is required to process group bookings. Because we have a large wedding group, the resort must apply a mandatory government group fee. Resorts typically charge 10% for this — but through our contract, it’s been reduced to 5%, which is already built into the group booking total. So when you compare it to booking “on your own,” it may appear slightly higher — but that’s because the group fee is being properly accounted for up front. The benefits of booking with the code are: • Only a 50% deposit due at booking • The remaining balance isn’t due until 30 days before arrival • You can cancel more than 30 days out and receive a refund (minus 5%) If you book without the code: • You must pay 100% in full at booking • There is no refund option So the code doesn’t discount the room — it protects your payment terms and gives flexibility. It also is for the venue to get a count of how many people will be in our party. If you don’t use it you will not be counted as apart of the party or be put in the room blocks for our event.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

Belize only has one international airport, the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport in Belize City. Connecting flights also take place in the same airport on the opposite side of the building.

Question

What are the travel dates?

Answer

Our wedding celebration will take place on Saturday, November 14th, 2026 in the late afternoon. Guests should plan to arrive on Thursday, November 12th and depart on Monday, November 16th if they want the full island experience. You are also welcome to stay the alternate dates of Friday, November 13th to Sunday November 15th. Please pick whichever dates work best for your personal schedule.

Question

Will there be a connecting flight to the island?

Answer

Yes. After clearing customs at Belize International Airport, guests will take a second domestic flight (approximately 15 minutes) to the island. Luggage will travel in the cargo hold, so please keep any essential items with you.

Question

Any additional info about the local flight?

Answer

You can book your second flight from Belize City to Caye Caulker (BZE > CUK) with local airlines: Tropic Air and Maya Island Air. It is advised that your international flight to Belize be earlier rather than later, because the last flights for these airlines are 5:40PM and 4:40PM. If you miss these flights you will be stuck in the city until the next morning to get another flight to the island. Please give yourselves enough time from when you land to make it through the luggage pickup and customs lines. They will leave without you after they call your name for the last call if you are not there in time.

Question

How will I get from the island airport to the resort?

Answer

There will be taxi services arranged to pick you and your luggage up via golf carts to take you to the resort ferry. You need to contact the resort with your reservation number, flight info, and a copy of your passport to request a pickup. Please reach out to them on WhatsApp at: +501 609-2733. Or via email at: reservations@bluzenbelize.com

Question

What is the dress code for the wedding ceremony?

Question

What is the mode of transportation around the island?

Answer

Everyone drives golf carts on the island. There are golf cart rental businesses that are available if you would like to rent your own. We can arrange that for you if you are interested. Just let us know at least a month in advance in order to secure everyone with a cart. Common 4-seater carts are $87.50 US per 24hrs.

Question

Do I need to rent a Golf Cart?

Answer

To easily get around the island, without hassle, I would suggest that option. But if you don’t want to do that, there are taxi golf carts that are around the island that you can use. They mainly stay at the water taxi docks, and the airport, but I’m sure you can try to find some around. It will not be as easy if you are not in those two main places, but it’s not impossible.

Answer

Belize has zero chain restaurants or American establishments. Everything will be local. If you have any allergies or special dietary needs please let them know when you order your meal.

Question

What is the local currency?

The Belize Dollar (BZD) is pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at a fixed rate of $2 BZD = $1 USD. USD is widely accepted across Belize, typically with change returned in BZD. The 2-to-1 Rule: Always divide by 2 for USD, or multiply USD by 2 for BZD. Acceptance: U.S. cash is widely accepted for goods and services.
