How do you know there are tribes if they havent been contacted yet?
Caye Caulker is cool, really small island and really, really laid back. Placencia is great as well, some great cheap hostels and some amazing hotels. One is called the Turtle Inn, it's owned by Francis Ford Coppola, writer and director of the Godfather movies and Apcalypse Now. It's expensive though, but a quite a treat. There are some AMAZING caves near San Ignacio, ATM cave is a must do. The whole San Ignacio area is amazing, you should go there. And take the local chicken buses, they're cheap, fun and the most authentic way to see the country.
I will say though, that Belize was one of my least favorite countries in central America. But it was still great. Too many amazing places to go to, too little time.
