The 1st time I went to Belize, I was in Maya Beach just down the road from Placencia.  I met both locals and expats right away.  I never felt lonely because I was open to meeting new people.  If you hang out at the same watering hole for a few days, you will meet friends.  I also took a yoga class and met some nice ladies there too.  I met my now husband of 6 years when I was there the 1st time.

Good luck, smile, be friendly and I don't think you will be lonely!
