A very interesting place. We went there on a non-cruise day, and I think it was closed. We came back another day, and the streets were crowded with people trying to sell taxi service, tours, wood carvings, or hair braiding -- some are annoying but easily deterred.
The "Tourist Village", or whatever it is called, actually requires a check-in to keep the street people from getting in -- and then probably charging high rent. In retrospect, this was the single best place to get stuff in Belize. At the time, we thought it was probably more expensive, but really, most are average deals.
Besides the usual t-shirts, bracelets, the highlights are:
- some awesome wood carvings
- some exquisate granite vases
- various "Mayan" blankets
- an alcohol store with decent prices (although, if you are flying, just wait for the duty-free in the airport for similar prices and more convenience)
- a popular pharmacy where you can get OTC American prescriptions
