Christie,

I have been to Belize 9 times. My personal stats are:

6 times - 2 hours was excessive
2 times - 2 hours was necessary
1 time - A Tropic Air plane was stuck on the runway with a flat tire and the Continental plane couldn't land. My flight left an hour or so late but we had friends with us and didn't notice cuz we were drinking rum punch at Jets. I stayed in Houston for a night courtesy of Continental Airlines and flew on to Minneapolis in the morning.
