FWIW, a number of years ago we spent two weeks driving Belize from top to bottom & back, as well as to the Guatemalan border, where we declined to have the rental car dragged across the river by bulldozer(bridge was out).
We encountered all manner of friendly people in a variety of circumstances & were able to communicate with ease. There were a variety of accents: American; German; Caribbean; Mexican; & British, all perfectly intelligible. Even the chaps from the International Monetary Fund & the British Army Base for Jungle Warfare training that we met, were perfectly understandable & I'm a native Canadian. It may well be however, that because of my dim witted demeanor, extra care was taken? YMMV.
