Wonderful that you are going. You will love it. We favor February and March, so we can get away from cold Midwest winters, but my guess its fine anytime. Never felt unsafe there. Did meet two girls, traveling alone this time, who said two boys ran into them. They felt it was an attempt to get their fanny packs. It was late at night, so, that may or may not be the case. Check out one of the smaller hotels to get the flavor of the Caye. My favorite is Paradise Resort Hotel. You get the feel of the real old time Belize there, and its quite the bargain. Have a great trip. Marie
