Boy am I confused. What has being afraid of flying in small planes and crime in Bz. City got to do with problems in somebody's marriage that we know absolutely nothing about, much less assume they HAVE problems and we need to advise them on it?????

Back to the original question. Please clarify exactly what your wife is afraid of. Is it the size of the plane from Belize City to the island, or just flying in general? I noticed you didn't mention the flight to Belize just the commute to the island.
Your wife should know that if you are staying on Ambergris Caye, you will not be leaving the airport to venture around in Belize City so therefore she doesn't have to worry about that.

You will arrive at Phillip Goldson Airport, go through immigration and have your passport stamped, collect your luggage, go through customs and straight to the ticket counter for your commuter flight.
From the time you land in Belize City to the time you land in San Pedro, is all of about an hour and a half.

Mosquitos? Bring plenty of OFF or whatever you like to use. No sense in worrying about that, you can't change it.

Bot Flies? Same thing, can't change that either, wear shoes if you are that afraid.
Nothing says you can't have a good time while wearing shoes, right?

Bottled Water? Hasn't been a problem here for a long time. It's available in almost every store as well as directly from the distributor in every size from small hand pouches to 5 gallon jugs. I don't know of too many hotels now that don't use bottled water for cooking and drinking purposes.
They are used to the likes and dislikes of tourists. If you are not sure, ask your hotel.

Your wife will relax once she gets here. It's an infectious disease that hits you by the morning of day two. Tell her she can worry about catching the relaxing disease!!
LOL

Good luck to you both and may you have a peaceful and RELAXING vacation!
