It's good to ask questions and understand the nature of the ecology, laws, and culture of Ambergris Caye if you want to live here. If you have several options of where you want to settle in the Caribbean and want to rule out some before visiting, continue to pursue this. You will find though, if you want to move here, most will suggest to you, come down for a while and find out in person. Even then come and live a while different times a year in a rental. Too many people have moved to the Isla and then tried to change the things they didn't like. This mentality usually doesn't work for the newcomer, or Ambergris.
